The Recent History of Draft Picks No. 25, No. 57 and No. 89

 

Voth gives a ten year history of who's been picked at these positions.

 

Among the notables...

 

25

 

MLB Jon Beason, 2007 (having traded down from #14)

QB Tim Te-bow, 2010 (Broncos)

 

57

 

WR Devin Hester, 2006 (Bears)

DT Terrance Cody, 2010 (Ravens)

 

*Ryan Kalil was picked two spots later in 2007.  We also picked at 59 in 2009 and took Sherrod Martin.

 

89

 

The Panthers have picked at this spot (ironically enough) three times in the past ten years.  The results were...ugly :unsure:

 

DT Atiyyah Ellison, 2005 (traded up to get him; he didn't even made the team; bounced around for a few years but never stuck anywhere)

OT Rashad Butler, 2006 (kept him one year, he never played; spent time with the Texans; last seen when he signed with the Steelers and quit two days later)

WR Armanti Edwards, 2010 (traded up, giving away the 2011 second round pick which turned out to be #1 in that round; the rest is history)

 

 

Oy :(

 

More from Voth...
 

 

- Only three of the past 10 players taken at No. 25 are still on the teams that drafted them, and all three are on their rookie contracts.

 

- Of the 30 picks listed above, just seven remain on their original teams...11 are out of the league.

 

- While the best player in franchise history wore No. 89, that number has not been kind to the Panthers in the draft. Armanti Edwards, Rashad Butler, and Atiyyah Ellison combined to make zero starts in Carolina.

 

- Other notable picks at No. 57: WR Mark Carrier (’87, Tampa Bay), QB Frank Reich (’85, Buffalo)

 

Both Carrier and Reich ended up on the original Panthers roster.

Not a very good history. But I'll rest assured that DG hasn't picked at 25, or 57 or 89 yet. He can break the trend. At least that's what I tell myself.

 

Gettleman's first three rounds in the last two drafts...

 

2013

 

1 (14) DT Star Lotulelei

2 (44) DT Kawann Short

3 (74) Pick was traded by Hurney to move up the prior year and get Frank Alexander

 

 

2014

 

1 (28) WR Kelvin Benjamin

2 (60) Kony Ealy

3 (92) Trai Turner

 

 

Voth credits Gettleman with being "great" in the first three rounds ("5 for 5" in one tweet).  We've also seen guys like Bene Benwikere and A J Klein taken in the fifth and Tre' Boston in the 4th, all of whom have shown promise.

 

I'll take that.

This.  I know it's one of the slowest times of the year for NFL news, but surely there's something better than this to write about.

 

I actually do find it interesting to note the quality of players taken at those draft slots in prior years.

 

Helps form an idea of what we might get at those spots.

I don't see the point at all.  Every draft is different and every draft class is different in terms of depth.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
