I was bored so i started looking at the panthers draft classes and when i got to the 2008 draft i couldnt belive how good it was out of 9 picks there could be 6 starters.

1 rd 13th pick Jonathan Stewart starter

1 rd 19th pick Jeff Otah starter

3 rd 4th pick Charles Godfey starter

3 rd 11th pick Dan Connor starter

5 rd 6th pick Gary Barnidge could be a starter

6 rd 15th pick Nick Hayden

7 rd 14th pick Hilee Taylor

7 rd 34th pick Geoff Schwartz maybe a starter

7 rd 43 pick Mackenzy Bernadeau maybe a starter

So GOOD JOB front office!

Looks like there's only 3 starters on there to me...Dan Connor has never started a game and isn't a lock to start this season, either...

Your right but i put starter there im pretty sure he will start this year

as a whole really good draft. we nailed both 1st round picks. i think we nailed the 3rd round. Gary Barnidge should be starting i still think hes the best of the 3 TEs. and 2 all time steals in the 7 round imo. if not for Hayden id give it an A+, so A-

I could care about Hayden. There are no drafts where there isn't at least one goof. To me the biggest sin was losing a 2nd and 4th rounder while taking a RB with the 13th pick.

RB is one of the lowest value positions in the NFL in the first place, and that was an especially deep draft in RB's and OT's. It turned out OK for us, but that trade makes it a B+ in my mind.

They fell too much in love with Stewart.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      IDK, the NFL will want to showcase Cam Wards debut. But I've also seen rumors that the Titans will open against Denver, not NO.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      I'm impressed with the way Tillis is structuring the books. The team is currently spending more on non-premium positions like iOL and S, but that’s because they’ve got rookie deals locked in at several key premium spots: QB: Bryce Young LT: Ikem Ekwonu EDGE: Nic Scourton, Princely Umanmielen WR: Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker The only veterans at those premium positions on second contracts are Taylor Moton, Adam Thielen, and the recently extended Jaycee Horn. Given that setup, it makes sense to allocate bigger dollars toward non-premium roles - especially if those pieces support the development and success of the younger core. Investing in iOL helps our young QB. Strengthening the DL helps both of our young EDGE guys and our high-paid CB. I can see the vision. Fingers crossed that it works!

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I don’t know why the tanking concept is not understood. Coaches and players are not involved at all. It’s always the front office. If we had actually traded players like we should have back in 2022, we would have effectively tanked and gotten a better pick than 9 so we lost all the draft picks to get Young. We traded CMC. We should have traded Burns for the haul and taken GB’s offer of a 1st for Moore. We could have easily traded anyone else. We see it in every sport, every year. Trade deadlines where bad teams give up current assets for future assets. Unfortunately, we were stupid and decided we only wanted to trade CMC for peanuts even though we clearly had a plan to go after Young. We were dumb and there is no way you can tell me that we shouldn’t have tanked via trading away Burns, Moore and anyone else. We’d be a much better team right now had we had a fire sale and tanked the 2022 season. Trading away your top players for future draft picks or prospects (baseball) is tanking. Shoeless Joe and the black Sox is not tanking. That’s point shaving/betting on your sport/team. Again, I just don’t get why this concept is so hard to get when MLB, NFL and NBA teams trade players for future assets every single year and usually end up with better draft slots (or at least odds since Hornets never win the lottery).
