The good news: The Panthers have drafted in the top 10, 5 times in this century

Out of those 5 times we drafted in the top 10, 4 are Hall of Famers, and the other one is the best tackle in franchise history

8 - Christian McCaffrey
9 - Luke Kuechly
1 - Cam Newton
8 - Jordan Gross
2 - Julius Peppers

80% chance of a Hall of Famer

A lot to look forward to in the coming months

Yep and then Marty will pick players with cancer and other crippling deficiencies rounds 2-7 and the star first rounder will be driven to dust by the staff because we have no good players

Thing is he gets these guys because he likes their stories or because they interviewed well. 

Thats what you get when you hire a media guy to do a general managers job.

Yay another HoFer wasting talents on a crappy team going nowhere.

They is unless we can get a GM who can do more than draft well in the first round and a HC who knows how to put his people in winning situations.

Luckily Ron is gone and Marty will be a glorified GM (hopefully). I have a surprising amount of faith that Just the Tepper will hire the right HC. The kind that could have cemented Cam as a first ballot Hall of Famer instead of Shula’ing him.

I already posted a topic on panther draft position.  It’s going to be tough to get into the top 10 and best case scenario is probably 8th with having to have a lot of right.  As of now we are 11th and likely won’t improve anymore this week.

If you miss on a top 10 pick, you absolutely SUCK!  *I'll throw this in for QBs; high bust rate.

Less than 10% of top 10 picks go on to the Hall of Fame

The Panthers are at 80% this century

That's over 10 times the expected frequency you should expect from the top 10.  It's extremely difficult to draft Hall of Famers, anywhere in the draft.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
