Man look at the receivers taken ahead of him

8. David Terrell

9. Koren Robinson

15. Rod Gardner (remember when we brought him to be a #2 receiver??)

16. Santana Moss

25. Freddie Mitchell

30. Reggie Wayne

33. Quincy Morgan

36. Chad Johnson/Ochocinco

41. Robert Ferguson

52. Chris Chambers

Wayne and Ocho were great, Moss had a good career and Chambers wasn't bad, but the rest...yikes

" ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. had Moss ranked as the fifth-best receiver and Smith at No. 18." 

Why does Mel Kiper's evaluation not surprise me?

Mel and apparently 30 NFL GMs. Not having Steve Smith at the top of the board is not that egregious an error. The Panthers only had a 3rd round grade on him.

Great read. How Steve Smith became a Panther.

You never know how that chip on a shoulder will affect a player.  In Steve Smith case that chip put him in the Hall of Fame. (I'm betting first ballot)

What a great article.  I don't know how many times I have watch that video but still get excited watching it.  Probably the greatest moment in Carolina Panther history.

To be fair to the Panthers they took a HoF talent in the first round and an All-Pro talent in the second round.

Clearly they were feeling it that year.

      Another, Another Bryce Breakdown

      I mean the interception injury he ran down that KB gave up on and the TJ Watt shoulder hit basically did Cam in. He could probably still launch a better 30 yarder off platform than BY

      Another, Another Bryce Breakdown

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean, Cam had the arm strength to make those throws without his feet set but it also was one of the factors that led to his arm getting destroyed over time. No QB needs to be making those off platform throws or without their feet being set often, because they are lower percentage throws(usually) and they are more difficult on your body overall. Bryce's physical limitations weren't a complete unknown. He is a moderately below average NFL arm even if his feet are set and he has time. That's not what will solely keep him from being successful. It definitely is a career limiting factor, however.
