Gallery of every Panther ever drafted

Chad Cota was a steal for a 7th rounder.

Mike Minter single handedly saved the 1997 draft.

I don't think we had another player worth mentioning until Jeno James in the 6th round '00.... and he ain't worth mentioning.

Those were some horrible drafts.

At least we got some light at the end of the tunnel in 2001.

The draft is probably the #1 reason John Fox is still around. Seifert gave us those great 2001 picks, but Fox made them stars.

Was Shaun King's pic a mug shot?

LOL, that's what I thought when I looked at it...

You can call Polian a genius if you like, but there were some pretty empty drafts under his watch.

It's easy to look like a genius when Peyton Manning falls into your lap and word is that Polian almost traded that pick to the Panthers.

The Panthers' moves in the 1995 draft were epic. Trading away the weak #1 and coming out with 3 1st round picks? Holy wazoo.

I always wondered why Polian went to the Colts. I mean, he is responsible for the Titans' success a decade ago. He passed on McNair (RIP) to get Kerry Collins, and Eddie George to get Tim Biakabutuka,

I'm still waiting to see good things from this pick. After we released Lucas, we needed some secondary help. There was talk he might become a WR, but Fox put him in exactly the role I thought he would be a good fit for (CB).

He started off quiet, but played well in Arizona, then kind of went quiet again. I'm hoping he comes alive this year.

You didn't see the 3 INTs he got in the short amount of play time he got last year?

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
