[DaveThePanther2008]

 AV( approximate value) Based on All-Pro and Pro-Bowl Selections Seasons Started and Games Started.   We are 5th.

Should also be noted we are the highest ranked team with only 6 picks.   Cam and Luke Clearly help but our other picks have been solid starters.

We are probably the best first round drafting team in the last 15 years

[ChuckWag78]

I was about to blow this off because of the rams at #1. I didn't remember them have exceptional 1st round picks. I was wrong:

2016	1	Jared Goff	QB	California
2015	10	Todd Gurley	RB	Georgia
2014	2	Greg Robinson	T	Auburn
2014	13	Aaron Donald	DT	Pittsburgh
2013	8	Tavon Austin	WR	West Virginia
2013	30	Alec Ogletree	OLB	Georgia
2012	14	Michael Brockers	DT	LSU
2011	14	Robert Quinn	DE	North Carolina
2010	1	Sam Bradford	QB	Oklahoma

If you averaged the AV/number of picks you would be correct.  Probably why they didn't post it that way.  God forbid they list the Panthers at #1 in any survey.

That just tells you how sucky of a coach they got.  How do you have these great players and still be at the bottom of the league year in and year out.   Jeff Fisher should be ashamed.

and it took them FOOOOOREVER to make a change. It's comical how long they let him stay there

We get some heavy hitters, quite obviously. 

What I also find interesting, if not a little telling, is that for all the ragging on Belichick's drafting ability here in the Huddle, he seems to hit on impact players about the same as us, and all near the end of round 1.

For whatever reason he always got at pass.  Kind of like what we are doing with Shula.  Seems he always gets a pass.

15 years being the key word.   We haven't missed much on Round 1. Otah probably the worst and he was good but was a Big P.

There's some busts in there though. Goff looks like it so far but too early to tell. Robinson total bust. Austin I'd consider a bust for where they took him. Bradford bust because of injuries. Quinn, Donald, Gurley all great picks. Brockers and Ogletree all are solid, but when you pick 1st twice and 2nd once and all 3 seem to be busts I don't know if I could rank them as the best.
