The Carolina Panthers Have Only Drafted 2 Offensive Linemen in the First Round Since 2000. Guess Who They Were??

[Hoenheim]

Jordan Gross. 2003. 

 Jeff Otah , 2008 

And you wonder why we have consistently shitty olines.. 

[Mr. Scot]

Not so much about Fox, but Rivera is the kind of coach who thinks a mobile quarterback means you don't have to prioritize O-Line as much. You can concentrate on the defense instead.

He got that from one of his mentors (specifically Buddy Ryan).

Wow that's true isn't it.

5 linebackers though.  6 if you include Burns.

There's no excuse for that. Damn near 20 years and ONE huge investment in a Olineman. 

Reap what you sow.

You got me, I'll correct the thread.

2 first rounders in 2008, Otah and Jstew

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Don't worry Hurney has a plan for that!

Honestly I don't remember? Was Gross a high level player as a rookie or are people overreacting on Daley and Little, two players that showed something as a rookie!

Another half baked thread to try and make a point. Can’t even read a Wikipedia of our long line of first rounders before you post this poo.

name some other studs at T we should have taken all those times who also went round 1.

[Jared Patterson]

I mean if Wirfs or Thomas is there you take them, but I think they both go top 7

to be fair, what happened in the two drafts right after that one? Two of the worst in post 2000 panther drafting history, 2009 and 2010 draft classes were abysmal lacking first round picks.

And then Cam was the only player that saved the 2011 draft. That's basically 3 classes worth of picks almost down the toilet totally. That will set your franchise back a long, long , long ways

You don't need to draft first round of linemen to have a good line. They've hit with 2nd and 3rd rounders. What's been killing this team has been injuries every single season. There has not been a linemen that hasn't had an injury in this line in the last four seasons. No one stays healthy. That is a huge problem.

it wasn't in the first round, but taking Cordy Glenn over Amini Silatolu probably wouldn't have hurt.

i call bull poo, it still makes a relevant point IMO. Only 2 times in 19 years did you ever really try to address the Oline in the first round. That's a problem to me.

And why do you think we always constantly get burned way down the field? Because we almost never draft safteys either.
