Our First three picks in 2017 draft our best in team history?

[thunderraiden]

Well are our first three selections of 2019 better than any other of our first three of any other draft we’ve had?

[Car123]

2001 and it's not even close.

What have they done to make u think that? McCaffrey has looked really great but I wouldn't say this is best ever not even close. I would say our last couple of drafts have been pretty much garbage. So now u see why we have to bring in old ass people because we have no good youth. Now we are paying for it as a team killing Cam's and Luke's SB chances.

Yeah, why can't we just draft a new team every year? Don't we have 52 1st rd picks?

Our last two drafts have been good. 2014-2016 were awful.

It would be almost impossible to beat Dan Morgan, Kris Jenkins, and Steve Smith for your first 3 picks. It was an all-time great draft for any team, and unquestionably the best in Panthers history.

That is how you go from 1-15 to the Super Bowl in 2 years. Along with the FA signings of Stephen Davis, Jake Delhomme, & Ricky Proehl 

Also shows how dramatically things can change in 2 years in the NFL and the utmost importance of the draft.

Back to OP, I assume he was referring to this past draft (2018). It does look like it was the best draft we have had in a lot time, although need more time to fully evaluate.

Also gives me hope in the ability for the 2019 Panthers to bounce back despite the changes on the team provided we have another successful draft like we did last year.

I had to go back and look. And I agree.

2011...  Cam is that good!

No good youth? What an idiot. 

McCaffrey at RB, Turner and Moton on the OL, Moore and Samuel at WR, and that’s just the starting point.

The Panthers have quietly reloaded a lot of the offense the last 2 years. Still need help on Oline but the offense should be explosive provided Cam is healthy.

Need to have another good draft, especially on defense/Oline, but this team is not that far away from competing... so much of it hinges on Cam.

Exactly. If we find good dline pieces, get rid of Mike Adams, and Cam gets healthy again we could be turn into a contender.

Yes

[Cpt slay a ho]

Hinges on how good Samuel can be, of course he needs more snaps , but his availability has been shaky. We’ll see next season for sure
