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

but you never know

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.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
