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.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
