Panthers best draft vs. worst draft?

[YourLastThought]

I was reading another thread and seeing some debate on drafts and how good they are based upon how many starters are taken away from each one as the years go on which made me curious......What year do you all feel we had our best draft and what year was our worst draft? Some science behind it I guess but opinions will vary slightly im sure.

[Mr. Scot]

There's gonna be a lot of contenders for part two of that question

 

[Mr. Scot]

Best draft: First one that comes to mind is 2017. McCaffrey, Moton, Butker (oy), even Samuel and Armah had some value to them.

Worst? 2009 was just awful. 2010 wasn't much better, and of course everything after Newton in 2011 was almost useless.

best is 2001

worst is 2009

[electro's horse]

worst is 2009 or 2010

 

best is probably 2001 or 2007 as far as quality and quantity of good players

2001 was a phenomenal draft...

...followed by a horrible season and the firing of the guy who ran it

[4Corners]

That one with Vernon Butler is certainly in the conversation.

The 2009 TRADING a 1st for LB EvBRown.....and 2010 had hardy and lafell.

 

That link, for me a big factor is games played. Rare to get 4 players over 100 games played. Yea some are not with panthers, still rare....

Peppers at 266, crazy.

I don’t know. Maybe. The Vernon Butler draft is top 3 worst ever. 

[electro's horse]

It's really gotta be 2009, just because they traded another first rounder for Everette Brown

[CRA]

Best is 2001.  Followed by 02 or 07. 

[Shotgun]

If I could have the players from any single draft we've had...I'd go with 2011.

Thats close, clear #2.

Just a reminder- Smarty Marty Herniay traded a future 1st for a 230 LB that larped as a DE= EvBrown. The "spin move".......
