Are we the worse at picking second round picks or cursed?

Seriously.. after the Brooks News just broke i had to think.. when is the last time we hit in the second round?  Off the top of my head the number of second round busts from Clausen to mingo to Marshall to whoever else you want to name is sickening....

what's crazy is most teams find starters in the second round or atleast contributors.. we have 3 that should be on their rookie contract either not on the team or out of the league.

Let's think about what the second round often is. Guys you may have had a first round grade on fall. Other teams see issues you don't and pass. He reaches you. You get giddy and jump on him. Those issues others saw are real and now you're left holding a lemon.

The deeper in the draft we go, the more it's like "ok this guy here makes sense". The first round and 5-7 are often pretty easy. 2 and 3 are where your gambles happen. We suck at gambling.

Ryan Khalil would agree. He's the last 2nd round pick I can remember worth a damn.

Donte Jackson-Curtis Samuel-James Bradberry was a decent stretch.  Compared to our usual, anyway.  Too bad Samuel was always hurt and Jackson was inconsistent as hell.

Still though thats 2013...lol. Hopefully Brooks has a great career and this was a small hiccup before it started. Also makes extending Chuba a little easier to swallow. But damn it never seems to fail with this team. We just cant seem to get it together

I blame Sir Purr. He's cursed. Should change the name to the Carolina Reapers.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
