Carolina Draft History

Some notable players drafted by Carolina at 8 or later in the 1st round. This isn’t a comprehensive list and when you factor in the same logic with 31 other teams I’m sure the list would be impressive. Do with this information what you will and feel free to add someone I have left off as I’m sure there are at least a couple.

I think more interesting list would be QBs taken at or just after the 8th pick. 

I don't think anyone is arguing you can't get a talented player at 8 overall. the question is will a franchise QB last that long when, undoubtedly, one would have been there at 3

Wouldn’t say undoubtedly. Carson Wentz was drafted in the top 3 and he’s about to get a first class ticket out of Philly.

Undoubtedly as in there are 4 "potential" franchise QBs in this draft and by my math picking number three overall guarantees you one of the four

Of course none of these guys are a sure thing again I don't think anyone is going to argue that either

The reason I bring it up is because there are several who would rather make the reach even for a lesser chance at an elite player simply based on position.

That could also be because it is the most important position in football by a very wide margin.

Why is it we have people on here that always try to undervalue certain things? Like this guy showing how the Panthers picked good players, but yet the QB we want/need probably won't be there because of "winning culture" by Matt Rhule. This is very, very, confusing.

No debating that. Doesn’t necessarily translate to success either if he’s not surrounded with talent.

Right now if I could have any 3 QBs in the league it would be: Mahomes, Rodgers, and Wilson (in that order). None of them taken in the top 8.

Then maybe Josh Allen - taken 7th.

Also another valid point

I think you may need to check the definition of “undervalue.”

That's a damn good point sir. 

Good teams draft well. They're good teams. So they don't pick in the top 10 every year.

Alex Smith was the only QB taken before Rodgers (and the first pick no less), Mahomes was taken 10th with only 2 QBs before him (perhaps more interesting that Watson went 12th that same year), and Wilson is a rare pick that pans out.

I say this because unlike those years this is a year where so many high-picking teams are looking for QBs that they are absolutely overvalued, but you gotta pay to play. It will be unfortunate if more draft capital.is required for Carolina to get a guy they believe in. If there isn't one then no harm, no foul.

I'll also note that I have faith that the team can figure it out even without moving up in the draft.

    • Nah you are just haven't watched all of the playoffs....   And im referring the playoffs were hes currently sitting at .895 % and over 3 gaa    But again gotta beat the best.   Those of you who are gonna act like chicken littles before a matchup is even decided lol
    • No, I don't root for drops to be what loses a game, especially from a player who has/had drop issues, as that's not showing improvement. And no, I don't resent it if they win, just as I don't "celebrate" if we lose either.  But I don't get upset if we lose because I know it's for the best for our future, just like I don't go running through the streets celebrating a meaningless December win that doesn't do anything other than hurt our draft stock in a lost season. In a year like last year and this next year, where we've put considerable assets into the offense at the expense of our defense to be fixed later, something both fans and the team themselves know, as you can only add so many players in any given offseason.  Then I'm looking for us to click offensively, have everyone looking better than the year before and show growth.   But then the side of our team we know is a weakness, to be the reason we lose in a high scoring game.  Give me Bryce going down and taking a 2 point lead with 2-3 minutes left in the game, but then our defense almost holding the other team from getting into scoring position and they end up needing a 55 yard FG to win the game and beat us. That can happen while our young defensive players show tons of promise, but still have one or two too many holes and/or just inexperience that it costs us games in the end, but it's still a successful season of growth and improvement. Or even better, just look great on both sides in a close game and end up getting totally screwed by the refs with a bad late call that hands them the game. And again, those are the kinds of things I'm wanting to see happen once it's already a lost season.   And I'm only saying I'd rather not make the playoffs when the alternate scenario is making but losing in the first round. Because those are the scenarios where we improve as a team, get better draft picks, and an easier schedule the next year.  You then use the cap space and higher draft picks to fill the remaining defensive holes with impact players and you're then cooking with gas in that next season and have real potential.
