Here’s a look at last year’s event now that we have the b

enefit of rookie performances."With the SB Nation writers’ mock draft recently completed let’s take a look at how last year’s selections panned out after their rookie seasons. Having participated in the writers’ mock for many years I know how hard it is to make a good selection. The SBN draft never unfolds like the real draft even at the very top as we will see. But before we look at the initial selections let’s look at the selection made for the Panthers. 24. Carolina Panthers: James Washington Blue Jordan Scarlett Jersey , WR, Oklahoma StateIn his defense, Bradley got several things correct. Defensive backs Josh Jackson and Justin Reid would have been good picks. Both players had good rookie seasons and would be welcome additions to the current Panthers roster. What he didn’t get right is the assessment Washington would fit the Panthers offense better than actual Panthers selection D.J. Moore. Honestly I think most people would have thought Washington’s game would be a better fit. Moore’s after the catch ability is as good as advertised. Kudos for getting the position correct though.Based on rookie season performance it would appear the Panthers made the better selection. Moore outperformed Washington by a significant amount.James Washington Blue Torrey Smith Jersey , WR, PittsburghOne season doesn’t make a career, a lot could change Torrey Smith Jersey 2019 , especially for Washington now that Antonio Brown has left Pittsburgh. Moore likewise should get more targets with Devin Funchess now playing for the Colts. Looking back at the comments from the mock draft post we did have a couple CSR members who accurately predicted James Washington’s draft position. Well done! Looking at the top ten of the 2018 SBN writers’ mock it would appear many other writers didn’t do as well as the team they were picking for. At the top Baker Mayfield was the better selection for the Browns. Now he has Odell Beckham to throw the ball too. I’m very positive Giants fans are happy they didn’t pass on Saquon Barkley like the Giants blogger did. I’m not saying anything against Chubb because twelve sacks as a rookie is impressive. Yet in spite of Chubb’s double digit sacks how can you not say Barkley was the better pick? The rookie was amazing racking up 2,000 all purpose yards and fifteen touchdowns. He is the whole package. So while agree picking a quarterback was also not the way to go, the writer missed on Barkley. The Browns writer at number four didn’t make the same mistake. Imagine if the Browns has somehow landed Baker Mayfield and Saquan Barkley in last year’s draft? The Coltsblogger was the only one to correctly predict their team’s actual pick. Offensive guard Quentin Nelson has proven to be everything expected. Kudos to the Buccaneers blogger as well for not passing on safety Derwin James like so many NFL teams did. Beyond that there’s not much else to be said about this mock given it went off the rails early. I will end the flashback with a look at who everyone passed on Blue Shaq Thompson Jersey , the top five remaining players after the first round. You see anyone here that was worthy a first round pick? The day will be dedicated to completing 25 service projects across the Carolinas." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesCat Scratch Reader homepageHorizontal - WhiteCat Scratch Readera Carolina Panthers communityFollow Cat Scratch Reader online:Follow Cat Scratch Reader on TwitterFollow Cat Scratch Reader on FacebookLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchCat Scratch Reader main menuFanpostsFanshotsSectionsAboutPanthersOddsShopStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Keep Sounding PodcastPanthers 2019 Training CampCSR Film RoomDavid Tepper has designated May 1 as inaugural Keep Pounding DayNew,9commentsThe day will be dedicated to completing 25 service projects across the Carolinas.

This is awesome for a number of reasons. The date was chosen to honor Sam Mills Shaq Thompson Jersey 2019 , who is responsible for making ‘Keep Pounding’ the mantra of the Carolina Panthers while also embodying its message. It’s amazing that David Tepper is so aware of the team’s culture and history despite being new to the organization. Props to him for doing his research and listening to the people in the know. And of course, it’s always cool to see the Panthers doing good in the community. Keep Pounding Day will add to the growing list of Keep Pounding initiatives already run by the organization. The fact that the service projects span both of the Carolinas deepens the ‘Two States, One Team’ slogan that the Panthers have been pushing in recent years. It’s clear Tepper is serious about that.
