What was the most pumped you've ever been for a Panthers 1st rounder right after it happened?

For me, unfortunately it was Jimmy Pickles. I live in NW Indiana, about 35 minutes from Notre Dame and I remember sitting in my friends living room at the time asking him what the chances were Clausen fell to the Panthers (because we didn't have a 1st round pick) he said the chances were virtually nonexistent because he was pegged as a top 10 pick.

Wouldn't ya know it he fell to us and the rest is history.

Careful for what you wish for folks. I learned a very valuable lesson that day that I still carry with me to this day.

I was also excited for Cam because I figured there was no way we'd take a QB #1 overall after just taking one with our highest pick the year prior. But Jimmy was really THAT bad and again, the rest is history.

It's really close between Cam and Pep, but probably a slight edge to Cam because he plays the most prominent position in the sport.  And both lived up the the hype.

I was thrilled with Pep when he was picked. Wasn't sure he would live up to the hype. Never more glad to be so wrong. Forgive me Mr. Peppers.

It's all good. I've loved some bad picks and hated some good ones. Really wanted some guys we passed on who went onto become good players and loathed passing on some guys who were busts. The draft is a crap shoot and everyone needs to keep that in mind.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
