Was 2009 the worst overall Panthers draft?

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Here is our group of winners we drafted that year. If you can find a worse draft by the panthers, i'll give you a cookie

 

Everrette Brown

Sherrod Martin

Corvey Irvin

Mike Goodson

Tony Fiammetta

Duke Robinson

Captain Munnerlyn

 

No wonder we were the worst team in the NFL shortly after this draft.

also gave up a 1st rounder the following year in the process, what a disaster

Yes, to be fair I think a good draft is hitting on 2 out of your first three rounders. Bonus points if you can get a starter in rounds 4-7. We missed the mark on that draft hard.

Oooph

According to Greg Auman of the TB Times, 25 of 32 teams in the NFL have 0 or 1 players on their roster from that draft. That was a bad draft for everyone, not just us. 

 

Just look at the Top 10 from that draft:

 

1- Matthew Stafford

2- Jason Smith

3- Tyson Jackson

4- Aaron Curry

5- Mark Sanchez

6- Andre Smith

7- Darrius Heyward-Bey

8- Eugene Monroe

9- BJ Raji

10- Michael Crabtree

 

Out of all those, there's only 1 Pro-Bowler (Raji). This compared to 7 from 2010, 8 from 2011, and 4 already from 2012. It was a horrible draft all around.

Between 2008, 2009, and 2010 draft.....oh and most of 2011 draft. This organization got set back 5 years. We still suffer from those drafts! We have a lot of ground to make up in our "build through the draft philosophy." FA signings=quick fix! Excellent drafts=sustained success!

[Khaki Lackey]

Yes, to be fair I think a good draft is hitting on 2 out of your first three rounders. Bonus points if you can get a starter in rounds 4-7. We missed the mark on that draft hard.

Those are really fair expectations for a draft. Most Huddlers expect 7 starters/R.O.Y. candidates.

Would have been a descent draft grabbing Conner Barwin, Will Beatty, and Henry Melton with our first three picks. Scouts are the most important cog in sustainability

[Doyle]

Our best pick was our last pick. 

[Delhommey]

Having a bad draft in a bad draft year is defensible. Trading a future first rounder for an extra pick in a bad draft is inexcusable.

[Gin and Juice]

Last year we got three viable starters(2 possible studs) out of 5 picks. This year if we can get 4 viable starters out of 7 picks then we will be on the right path of making up for lost time

Be back after I throw up :(
