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

Someone else mentioned the 2008 Draft. There's a little more to that one, and while this overall might be a little bit of a reach, it's something I've heard people mention before.

In 2008, the Panthers got a very good runningback in Jonathan Stewart. They then did their first trade of a future first rounder to move up and select Jeff Otah who was also good, but unfortunately only on a short term basis.

It's been pointed out that had the Panthers chosen a lineman in the first round instead of Stewart (Branden Albert, Duane Brown and Gosder Cherilus were all available) they still would have been in a position to draft Matt Forte in round two.

The Panthers got a solid runner and a good blocker out of that Draft, but could conceivably have gotten those same things - and for longer in the case of Otah - without giving up that 2009 First.

And yeah, there were good players not named Everette Brown who were available where we would have been picking.

1998 - Jason Peter instead of Randy Moss

Then Panthers personnel guy Dom Anile told UNC DL Vonnie Holliday that if he were available when we picked, he'd be dancing on the table after sending in the card with his name on it.

He was indeed there, and we picked Jason Peter instead.

Anile made some kind of lame, asinine joke about it afterward. Sadly, the bigger joke was how bad Peter flopped, how good Holliday turned out and how stupid we wound up looking because of it all.

Trading up for Armanti Edwards instead of literally anyone else. Dude should never have been drafted and we traded up lmao

wasnt JPP on the board here?  Think i remember that. 

 

This is a never ending thread. Same is true for every franchise.

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

You don't want to know what almost went down to secure Clausen...

Which would have been the worst move in franchise history

Amini just couldn't stay healthy. I don't really think you can blame the player for that   .

Biggest draft bust, taking into consideration what was spent to get them and what the panthers received, has to go to either Everette brown, armanti Edwards, or Eric Shelton. 

Everette brow was weird, had no position in the nfl, and didn't want to play. Eric Shelton got hit once in training camp after never really playing anyone at Louisville and said fug this. Armanti just didn't belong on the field. 

Not sure if it was the health that did him in. He wasn't that great even when healthy. I think the bigger problem was he didn't have the mind for it.

Yeah pretty much.  I always thought we should have drafted a blue Chip qb.
