2012 1st round (14th pick) - DT Michael Brockers (starter, impact player)

2012 2nd round (7th pick) - CB Janoris Jenkins (starter, impact player)

2012 2nd round (18th pick) - RB Isaiah Pead (back-up, no impact)

2012 5th round (15th pick) - G Rokevious Watkins (released, no impact)

2013 1st round (30th pick) - LB Alec Ogletree (starter, impact player)

2013 3rd round (30th pick) - WR Steadman Bailey (back-up, small impact)

2013 5th round (27th pick) - RB Zac Stacy (starter, impact player)

2014 1st round (2nd pick) - OT Greg Robinson (slotted starter, likely impact player)

 

Pretty good haul by St. Louis.

 

I wonder how much better Washington would be with the players above along with Kirk Cousins than what they have now?

Rams made out well, I almost thought they'd be able to trade out of this pick as well. Imagine last night if they had moved down against, and once again doubled/tripled their first round picks.  All in all, they are building a great team down there, but wont' be anything until they replace Bradford.

Rams are stacked with talent but it all goes to show you - if your QB isn't performing, the rest of your team doesn't matter.  See: Houston.  Stacked with talent at almost every position but no QB = 2-14.

Washington made the playoffs and RGIII was rookie of the year. The Rams will not make the playoffs again this year on account of 49ers, Cardinals...oh and the SB Champs Seahawks.

 

Cousins was exposed down the stretch last season and has never looked like a franchise QB.

 

Washington made out just fine.

More trivia: both the jaguars and the Vikings picked QBs in the first round, two teams that picked QBs in the first round in 2011

 

Follows the tried and true mantra that picking a bust at QB sets your team back 3 years.  Panthers really got the pick of the litter with Cam.  We are very fortunate as Panther fans.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
