Has there been a bigger Carolina miss in the NFL draft?

COLLINS OVER STEVE fuging MCNAIR. 

Wasn't really possible once they traded down.

Of course, trading down was a choice.

Letting Lee Ward go undrafted.

Based on draft position, the trade up for Armanti was bad, but the pick it garnered was used on Ras-I Dowling

Who's now with us.

Amini was garbage when he was healthy too.

Carruth was trash, whoever said he was on his way to being a star – nope 

[Carl Spackler]

Our biggest miss wasn't a pick

It was trading what became Champ Bailey for Sean Gilbert

The one that stilllllllll burns deep in my football soul, was passing on Anquan Boldin. Honestly Im still pissed about it.

My cousin played at maryland, so I kept a close eye on ACC during that time. Loved boldin and there he was in 2nd....... I in utlra rare mood, started to scream at the TV " DRAT BOLDIN!!!! DRAFT BOLDIN!!! " OVER AND OVER. Nope second round bust expert (why didnt you learn form kalil) Marty herniay drafted Bruce fcuking Nelson......... Nelson had a back injury and never played a snap. Boldin is currently a FA after 13 great years.

Yeah Cordy Glenn, or imagine if we had Gettleman and his tendency to double dip that year. Kuechly in the first and Bobby Wagner or Lavonte David in the 2nd.

Just imagine a LB trio of Davis, Kuechly and David. Unfortunately if we drafted David we probably would've never given Davis another chance.

Sean Gilbert for two firsts. Wasn't a draft pick, but does it matter? Wasted primo picks.

I followed the team on the field since inception but didn't pay as much attention to the draft until the mid-to-late '00s so the Everett Brown move was the sweetest one for me.

I mean, trading next year's first round pick for Everett Brown? Could have been the 1st overall pick haha. You don't go and trade a 1st rounder for the 43rd pick in the draft.

Hurney felt he had a franchise QB locked up though so go ahead and trade that 1st round pick for the 43rd.

Eric Shelton over almost any other player in that draft.

Clausen vs Whoever else was on the board.. what a waste of a pick.. That was a face in the palm moment..

I feel like Jarrett kinda gets the shaft in this conversation. He was failed as much by the team as he failed himself. He had Keyshawn ecstatic to mentor him, only to be cut 3 days after the draft. This left him with just Steve Smith as a mentor, under whom we never developed a single quality rookie WR and who (though I don't have any inside info into it) was notorious for doing everything he could to wreck any young WR we acquired. On top of that, Jarrett was on the team through Delhomme's meltdown and then a revolving door of terrible QBs until he was cut for DUIs. Despite all of that, Jarrett managed to catch just about all of the few passes thrown to him and scored a pretty sweet TD on the Saints.

I feel like if Jarrett was drafted in 2014 instead of 2007, and joined this team with this QB and this leadership, he could have developed into a pretty damn good WR instead of a burnout drunk.

How about all the QBs the Panthers could have drafted and didn't,  believing Delhomme was the guy and that arm was fine . With Fox probably just as well...if you go back and look,it will make you cry
