the 2011 draft was so freaking bad

[Zithers]

was just looking it over. actually i should say OUR draft was bad. because that 1st round was pretty miraculous. like 20 picks had their 5th year options picked up. a lot of guys who are top 5-10 at their positions. and only three of the players are on different teams now i think. ANYWAY.

 

 

cam newton - beast, only good pick

terrell mcclain - has been on four teams, might make cowboys roster since their DL is so bad

sione fua - cut, brought back to change positions, cut again, now on denver

brandon hogan - had some decent playtime iirc, was cut, now in the CFL with the blue bombers

kealoha pilares - good rookie year, meh 2nd year, injured/waived to get stashed on IR, probably not making team this year

lawrence wilson - busted with weed so we cut him, now with bears

zack williams - dont think he ever played a snap, not even in preseason, currently with the orlando predators (AFL?)

lee ziemba - cut after second preseason, now on the colts

 

ugh.

 

at least hurney gave us a nice parting gift with kuechly, silatolu, and nortman. and the g-man gave us like five future defensive starters in one draft/udfa signing period. yay getting better.

Hogan was supposed to be a top rated CB but fell because of injury.   I honestly don't ever remember seeing him on the field.

 

2011 I believe we sat him the whole season just to make sure that bowl game injury had heal.  Then he got hurt again.  I think.

 

Hit a grand slam first time up and then struck out miserably afterwards.

all i remember about hogan was in late 2011 against the texans he pushed kevin walter out of bounds, stopped covering him, which left walter wide open for a TD. really good heads up play bc yates zeroed in on him instead of other options and it led to a flag.

 

that's it. i don't remember him making any bad plays the next week or two. pretty sure the week 17 shellacking was because of sherrod martin. god, he was so fuging miserable that year. then his replacement was haruki. ugh.

It's like the first time to hear the names of four among these guys.

McClain and Fua basically were need picks, picks that Gettleman would never have made. DL has basically been almost completely depleted by that point in the draft. Even though it was highly touted as a great DL draft, in the end that can work against you to wait until later as everybody else cashes in on the talent. If you read my posts then you'd understand that in no way am i suggesting we should've picked a DL instead of Cam, but I'm wary of a similar situation happening with WR this year. Could be slim pickens by the third round.

Hogan, Pilares, Wilson, they were all nonsensical picks to me. Pilares probably would not have been drafted if we didn't take him and what the hell could you have possibly seen in a 225 lb linebacker that made you think it would make up for the lack of size where the big boys play. And of course to round out your 2011 draft you have your obligatory late round Hurney OL picks to go along with your mid round lousy Hurney DT prospect that will get shithoused pick

Don't worry. Terrell McClain is going to be a pro bowler.

[PantherWake]

The 2009 draft was even worse.

At least he got onto a soda can...

at least we didnt take Gabbert.  But Cam, AJ, Miller, Smith, Quinn, Wilkerson Jones and Peterson plus some other real stars in that draft.  Was definitely defense-heavy.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Drafted for need and got screwed

Only thing I remember is him getting in trouble for pissing in public.

Oh god Mcclain and Fua as our starters lol. Our run D was so terrible that year, I said so many bad words that season it made Wolf Of Wall St look like something that belongs on ABC family.

Still hurts to look at :(
