Best 1,2 pick in Panthers history?

[JawnyBlaze]

Just some fluff chatter while we're all still on our adrenalin highs from the realization this is our year and we're going to the SB. Was reading some articles talking about Short's dominance and it for me thinking. Have ever had a better first and second round combo than Star and Short?  You could say that Cam and no pick in the second was more critical to our success, but I can't think of a pair of first/second round actual picks that were better for us. A few years ago I would have said Beason and Kalil would be in contention. But not any more. Considering our often miserable choices in the second I can't think of any other pairs to contend with our current middle of the DL.

I'd say Beason and Kalil was just as good.   Beason was the RIGHT pick, he just got hurt, but it was still a great pick.

Dan Morgan and Kris Jenkins has to be considered.

Yes but didn't Kalil go 3rd? I believe we drafted Dwayne Jarrett before Kalil.

Both went in the 2nd I believe

I do agree that Star and Short are the best successive draft picks. The best overall draft year has to go to 2012. Drafting Kuechly and Norman in the same year that's rare to draft two all pros on one team in the same draft.

Well hot damn. I totally staying in the "1,2 box" of his question.

Great reminder my friend. I think we both can agree that this thread is closed.

2010:

Round 1) Pick to San Francisco

Round 2) Jimmy Clausen

 

2009:

Round 1) Pick to Philadelphia

Round 2) Everett Brown

 

Which of these were the shittier early drafts? Jimmy is Jimmy. But Everett Brown was that tiny little speedy DE from Florida State that had a Freeney-esque spin move that just never did anything.

We've been pretty good in the first 2/3 rounds under Hurney/DG.  With Hurney, the later rounds just weren't productive and I think that's truly where you make a great team.

[Captain Morgan]

we were very very fortunate that KK fell to us in the second.

Both were in the 2nd, Jarrett # 45 overall, Kalil # 59 overall.

[shaqattaq]

our worst first 2 picks: Jimmy Clausen (round 2) Brandon Lafell (round 3). But hey at least we saved the draft by snatching up Armanti Edwards late in the 3rd!!! (obvious sarcasm)

Yea adding third to the equation it's that year for sure. I'd still put Short and Star over Morgan and Jenkins, at least for the time being. I thought about them, but with knowledge of how it all turned out I gotta give it to the newer guys. If Short/Star end up with short stays on the Panthers it will obviously change.
