Let's see which armchair GM's admit being wrong.

[frash.exe]

I remember when cam was drafted a bunch of stupid people threw a fit and said they weren't panther fans anymore and then they were back like 2 weeks later

[carolina-chuck]

(1) Luke Kuechly

(2) Jimmy Clausen / Dwayne Jarrett / Dan Connor

[thefuzz]

At the time, I wanted Cox over Luke.

 

Cam made me nervous, but he was a QB, and I knew that we needed one.

 

I liked the Capt. pick, but hated the Amini pick, wanted Glenn in that spot.

 

Thought Adams would amount to a good slot WR/scat back/returner.

 

Didn't like either of the RB selections.

i loved everette brown. i thought he was a freeney clone and had actually done a mock that year and had brown going 14th overall.

i loved jarrett and eas enamoured with his number of TDs in college and thought he was also going to be keyshawn v.2.

i loved amini and was high on him predraft that year. i'm still holding out hope there.

the only pick i can remember absolutely hating was jimmy. i was loving watching him fall and was laughing at him and wondering what team was going to be dumb enough to draft him. i yelled and screamed and kept wishing this was a nightmare i would wake up from when we drafted him. i hoped for the best after the initial shock wore off a couple days later, but he was everything i thought he would be.

there were a couple players i wished we hadn't drafted because we were set there and/or wanted someone else. names that jump out to me are kalil (we had a probowl(?) center we picked up in FA that i liked), beason(we had morgan), stewart (we had williams), keuchly (wanted a DT or WR and we had beason, but i knew keuchly was special and thought it would have been ok if we did).

i really didn't like kk...but that was if he was going to be the only addition to DT we had. somehow star made the kk selection more paletable to me. i didn't trust his motor.

I didn't like the Kuechly pick. I thought that there were better players available, I was gladly wrong.

 

On the flip side I loved the Clausen pick, I remember falling for his hype. Worst mistake ever.  

[Carolina Crazy V2]

Proving that even a seeminly bad GM like Hurney is light years as talent evaluator than huddlers...

 

You forgot to English.

[bleys]

 

Zod thought Terrell McClain was Warren Sapp Jr.

 

 

this motherfuger gets a LOL more often than not...

 

 

with that said, i have a hangover and have already started work..  wait, it's 11am..  I guess I'll just pat myself on the shoulder..

[SOJA]

lol all the time

 

 

I raged face at Kuechly

Amini was actually playing pretty well before he got injured. Hope he can get back 100%. The only problem with Amini selection is Glenn was taken right after him LT >>>>>>>> LG.

Where to begin... :lol:

 

I wasn't on board with Cam. Heck, I didn't care for the entire QB crop that year because I thought next year's crop would be better.  And while it arguably was, picking Newton was not a mistake.  Happy to be wrong there.

 

Also groaned when they picked Luke.  Liked him as a player, but I wanted a defensive tackle, a receiver or maybe a corner at that pick.  Again, happy to be wrong.

 

A player I thought was a steal though?  Rae Carruth.  Unfortunately he wasn't a steal, he was a kill :(

 

Thought Eric Shelton would be a good choice too (ugh).  Ditto Dwayne Jarrett who I believed was a second round steal.  And yes, I liked the Armanti Edwards pick (though I hated the trade up).

 

Other choices I remember having strong feelings about...

Absolutely hated the pick of Kerry Collins (wanted Steve McNair).

 

Winced when they took Tshimanga Biakabutuka (was hoping for Eddie George).  Now remember how Bill Polian, when asked if he had any concerns about his durability, flatly said "None" :wacko:

 

Blew my stack when they chose Jason Peter over Vonnie Holliday after Jack Bushofsky or Dom Anile one (I forget which) famously promised Holliday he'd be dancing on the table if he were available.  Only got worse when the next two selections were Chuck Wiley and Mitch marrow over Leonard Little (he hadn't killed anyone at the time).

 

Lost it again when they took DeShaun Foster over Clinton Portis.  Our UCLA connection (Jim Skipper's son Kelly, I think) messed us up on that one.

 

Was a big fan of DeAngelo Williams.  Had been the Panthers GM in a mock draft just prior to that and chose him as my pick.  Most wanted LenDale White at the time.

 

Was not a fan of the trade down to pick Jon Beason.  Nothing against Beason, but I wanted Greg Olsen. Little did I know we'd eventually get him, and lose Beason.

 

Loved the Ryan kalil pick.

 

Loved the Jeff Otah pick too, but blanched again when I saw what it cost.  For what we paid, he should have been a ten year starter and a perennial pro-bowler :(

 

Wasn't a big fan of the Everette Brown pick.

 

Scared a buddy of mine when the Jimmy Clausen pick was announced.  He saw my reaction and thought something was seriously wrong :lol:

 

And naturally, loved the Star pick.  Like many others, my jaw dropped when the Jets didn't take him.  Was surprised when we doubled down with Short, but not displeased.

 

Lord only knows what happens this year.

 

[MorgulKing]

I was very excited to get Keuchly and Lotulalei

 

 

Draft pick I thought was a STEAL and turned out to be bad:  Jimmy Clausen

 

Draft pick I thought was terrible and turned out to be great: Can't think of anyone. I was kind of disappointed we picked KK Short, but warmed up to the idea after realizing that we were simply following the NYG philosophy of controlling the trenches.

I hated the Kuechly pick. Anyone who was in the draft chat room could tell you I was pissed. Don't remember who I wanted in his place. Didn't want Cam I wanted Marcell Dareus or Patrick Peterson. I wasn't pissed about the Cam pick though and embraced it immediately. I was glad when we picked Dwayne Jarrett as I think at the time he had numerous all time records for college receivers. Hated the Amini pick because I wanted Janoris Jenkins but I think he got picked like one spot ahead of us.
