20 - Too early but if Derrick Brown doesn't show strides of elite status this year being selected that high, then he starts to fall into that category. You take a DT that high, he should be Donald level.

19 - Little. Not even close. Grier was a reach when we needed something. Had some playing time. It's Little. 

18 - Gaulden. 

17 - Samuel simply because he's not here. Good top 3 draft.

16 - Eesh. Butler. Worley still in the league but he's awful.

15 - Funchess

14 - Both Ealy and Benjamin had their moments. Williams is still on the Bills. Have to go Ealy.

13 - Star because injuries and Short ended up being better

12 - lol amini

11 - Cam. Never won us a super bowl.

10 - Pickles is a given, but he fell to the second. I'm going Armanti Edwards

09 - Brown

08 - Otah. One good year. Pure garbage.

07 - Jarrett. Cost us keyshawn too.

06 - Butler never did squad. Rest had solid career.

05 - lol shelton

04 - Colbert

03 - We need one of these drafts next year. Seidman was a blocker, that was it.

02 - Out of the three, Foster

01 - Damn, who was our GM? Ron Wolf? Maybe Morgan because of injuries?

00 - Anderson

99 - Terry

98 - Peter

97 - Carruth

96 - Biaka

95 - King

Uuuuhhh, yeah. This is a horrible list.

Why do some of you guys always hate on Otah? The man was a stud RT when healthy during his short career in Carolina. Injuries derailed his career. It’s not like he couldn’t play. 

Wasn’t just the injury. He got lazy. But I wouldn’t consider him a bust.

Grier was technically a 3 round pick, beat out by a practice field/XFL guy…I’d say a third rounder than can’t even get a backup QB slot is a bust. But he meets Hurney’s requirement of being homegrown, apparently that means a lot to some people.

It’s the Panthers, and considering they didn’t even have 2/3 for a a lot of the years in the past decade, this is pretty sad, generous definition of the word bust:

Clausen, Edwards, Little, Gaulden, Fua

Butler, Worley, Brown, McClain, are teetering.

Past that…a bit better:

Irving, Jarrett, Nelson, Seidman, Anderson, Marrow (injuries), Carruth (duh, Tatum, Oliver, Price (injuries), 

Teetering: Jordan, Terry.

So roughly the same number the past decade as the first decade. Don’t know exact number of 1-3 picks each decade had but I’d guess at least 5 of not near 10 more 1-3 round picks for the first decade of Panthers existence.

Blocked that one out of my memory.  
 

I would say the top bust was Clausen. He was truly one of the worst QB’s I’ve ever seen play.  Hurney apparently wanted to trade up for him too, which probably would’ve been our 2011 1st rounder aka #1 overall pick.  Dodged a bullet there.  But his abysmal play has granted him my top spot.  

He was awful

fox even played that guy off the street one week he was so bad

I personally consider third round picks to be rolls of the dice - well at least for a franchise like ours.

The franchises that consistently win consistently hit on those old 'first day' picks. 

So, with my criteria of ruling out third round picks as potential busts, my top 5 (in no particular order):

  • Dwayne Jarrett
  • Bruce Nelson
  • Rashard Anderson
  • Rae Carruth
  • Eric Shelton

Jeff Otah has to be on that list.

Vernon Butler never gets mentioned, but is definitely Top3

Jimmy Clausen and Armanti Edwards should tie for 3rd. 

Vernon Butler is in no way top 3 haha, definetly a bad pick but he stayed on the team for 4 years and his last year here picked up 6 sacks.

1. Armanti Edwards ...waste of time and draft capital. Think of converting a lesser version of Russel Wilson to WR. 

2. Dwayne Jarrett ... smdh

I wanna say Grier but it may be too early. I'd still take Clausen over him at this point in career. That said...

#3: Jimmy Clausen ...+ we tried to trade into the back end of the first for this guy. I've atleast seen him throw a few catchable balls.

    • I actually was reading something today that pointed out how Cousins could only get one year in Atlanta. Don't remember the exact specifics, but think only about half of the guaranteed money going to Kirk in this deal was from a signing bonus, a lot of it is just guaranteed salary in years 2 and 3.  Which is the key in determining how big of a dead cap hit the team would have to take if they move on from him after 1 year in a trade. They'd have to take a decent dead cap hit if they trade him next offseason, but with Penix on a rookie deal, it's easier for them to take that hit. They can't cut him though, as cutting him would then put them on the hook for the guaranteed salary and give them a massive dead cap hit.  He also has a no trade clause, so they'd have to get him to agree to it as well, but knowing this now, I wouldn't be surprised if they look to trade him after the season to someone like the Raiders or something.
    • https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/arts/music/steve-albini-dead.html He was highly controversial, politically incorrect, and a self-described asshole early in his career before mellowing out, but he's an absolute icon of music engineering/production (although he disliked the label of "producer").  He recorded Nirvana's In Utero, Surfer Rosa by the Pixies, and countless other artists including The Breeders, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Helmet, The Stooges, and so on.  He famously refused to take residuals on albums he recorded, passing up what would have been millions of dollars because he considered the practice unethical.  His own bands Big Black and Shellac were also influential in their own right. His later efforts focused on running his studio in Chicago, Electrical Audio, which catered to both independent and major label bands and artists until his death.
