when he ran our scouting dept we took alot of risky picks that didn't pan out, under gregory we have drafted more guys who can atleast play in the nfl. you can never spend enough money in the scouting dept IMO

just looked at some past drafts and just thought some of these were interesting..

in 05' RB Eric Shelton was taken 11 picks before Frank Gore, 56 picks before Brandon Jacobs and 76 picks before Darren Sproles..

Elvis Dumervil was picked 5 picks after Nate Salley in the 4th round of 06'.. and Jamar Williams was picked 1 pick ahead of Salley.. and Brandon Marshall the pick before Jamar Williams..

in 07' WR Dwayne Jarrett was picked in between WRs Sidney Rice and Steve Smith

and Tank Tyler was taken with the pick right before we nabbed Charles Johnson..

Ryne Robinson was taken 42 picks before Steve Breaston..

Softli made enough of an impression on the Panthers that he rose quickly through the organization. He was finally promoted to Director of College Scouting in 2000. Softli helped the Panthers become one of the premier franchises in the league.

Along the way, he helped the team secure the likes of Julius Peppers, Steve Smith, Kris Jenkins and Dan Morgan. His drafts were successful and, according to NFL.com’s Gil Brandt, he had helped the Panthers procure the highest percentage of drafted starters in the league at 37 percent.

While Softli was a great success in Carolina, it had become clear to him that he had essentially hit his ceiling for some time with the organization. Of course, that didn’t stop him from becoming an innovator in professional scouting.

didn't say he couldn't do his job cause he did and he also put some nice touches on the way we keep track of prospects, it's that the panthers have over the last couple of drafts as a organization have placed a emphasis on production that players have in college and not reaching as much as they had in the past(their always exceptions to this but look at how many picks have made the team and contributed from 07 thru present)

To play devil's advocate, Eric Shelton, Dwayne Jarrett and Keary Colbert all had tremendous productivity in college.

i did say their are a few exceptions, but 22 of the 24 players the panthers drafted since 07 are still on the team and 23 of the 24 are still in the nfl that's a very good percentage(this includes every pick in 08 and 09)

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
