The amount of times the Panthers have missed on a wr is a lot. I am trying to think, but can not recall any great to even good wr's they have drafted besides Steve Smith.  Everyone else, the best wr's in Panther history all came via trade or free agency.  That totally sucks, and this failure at drafting wr these past 10yrs has been detrimental to the organization.  

did you forget about DJ Moore?

Duh, I did forget DJ.  For Moose, don’t not know why I was thinking he was somewhere else first so yeah him for sure.  I guess overall I think of all the misses since Cam was drafted. And there has been a bunch.

The Carolina Panthers have been abysmal at drafting Wide Receivers for some reason:

 

  • 2023- Jonathan Mingo | Round 2, Pick 39
    WR, Ole Miss
  • 2021- Terrace Marshall Jr. | Round 2, Pick 59
    WR, LSU
  • 2021- Shi Smith | Round 6, Pick 204
    WR, South Carolina
  • 2019- Terry Godwin | Round 7, Pick 237
    WR, Georgia
  • 2018- DJ Moore | Round 1, Pick 24
    WR, Maryland
  • 2017- Curtis Samuel | Round 2, Pick 40
    WR, Ohio State
  • 2014- Kelvin Benjamin | Round 1, Pick 28
    WR, Florida State
  • 2012- Joe Adams | Round 4, Pick 104
    WR, Arkansas
  • 2011- Kealoha Pilares | Round 5, Pick 132
    WR, Hawaii
  • 2010- Brandon LaFell | Round 3, Pick 78
    WR, LSU
  • 2010- Armanti Edwards | Round 3, Pick 89
    WR, Appalachian State
  • 2010- David Gettis | Round 6, Pick 198
    WR, Colorado State-Pueblo
  • 2007- Dwayne Jarrett | Round 2, Pick 45
    WR, USC
  • 2007- Ryne Robinson | Round 4, Pick 118
    WR, Miami (OH)
Wow, look at this list!!!! Something I noticed is the Carolina Panthers would often go two years without drafting a single Wide Receiver, but damn they had to take a Linebacker almost every single year! When they did draft a WR with the exception of DJ Moore (good 1st round), Brandon Lafell (serviceable) and Curtis Samuel (just ok). They have almost NEVER drafted a WR in the first round! This organization needs better talent evaluators on Wide outs!!!!!!!

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
