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.

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.

    • Got to give some credit to the coaching staff on these. You can grab top talents but without good coaching, they just fizzle out. We've seen that a lot around here.  
    • Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?
    • Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc.    I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter.  Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer.   UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find
