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.

      So.. anyone remember Matt Kallil

      By CarolinaRideorDie · Posted

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      Ah yes, my bad. It's easy to forget those handful of games Frank coached. LOL

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
