The Great Draft Propensity Project – Panthers
I hope you guys enjoy! Add me on Twitter @ethanhamm if you have any unanswered questions; I’ll be happy to clarify statements. My goal is to inform people about something that isn’t often considered in mock draft; team propensities. I think that, when used correctly, propensities could be a great tool to help increase the accuracy of mock drafts and to give the fan better insight into the War Room on the day of the draft. One note: I know that Macho Harris wasn’t on the Eagles this season. LAST season he started most of the year at safety…before Nate Allen was picked this Spring, of course! I will be doing a different team every day. Today’s team is Carolina. Please tweet, repost, and publicize to your heart’s content! And feel free to comment. And, one more time, add me on Twitter @ethanhamm for future updates!
Thanks for the post Ethan! I’m a Panther fan and feel we HAVE to do something at QB. Clausen just doesn’t have “IT”. Even with a healed o-line, more running production and better coaching staff, I don’t see Clausen competing with the likes of Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Josh Freeman anytime soon. And as a championship coach and super bowl winning player, I don’t see Ron Rivera drinking the Clausen Kool-Aid either. Gabbert would be a step up but Newton would be a statement.
Nice job Ethan. As a Panthers fan, I can tell you that you represented us very well in terms of addressing our needs. I like the idea of dissecting team propensities. I’m a little surprised you didn’t mention Gabbert in the discussion for #1 overall. I think he will at least be considered. I have reservations about Fairley/Bowers, but I do about Newton too. It’s tough to know which way we’ll go. I want to trade down.
@davlar87 Thanks for the comment!
I agree that Gabbert is a possibility, although I do think that Newton or another Southern guy is more likely at the position. I happen to like the potential of both Gabbert and Newton personally.
patrick peterson is the best pick for the panthers.
CAM NEWTON 1st pick in the draft…….yes
blaine gabbert = ryan leaf

Being that the Panthers are installing the Air Coryell offense you have to consider AJ Green, especially if they traded down a few spots.
Hey Ethan, really smart analysis. I’m looking forward to making my way through the rest. Thanks for doing this.
