strangely enough, some of our draft picks have been great starters, some have been busts.

...sounds almost like the draft isn't a guarantee.

Haven't all of our first rounders at least turned out pretty well? I'm probably missing someone obvious but it seems like in Fox's tenure, anyway, they've all been starters.

I was trying to remember who we picked up when we traded down. Good call.

While I think that you have a definite point, you also have to consider that we've gotten some really, really good players with some of the moves.

Not lately. We could take this all the way back to 1995 if you wanted. I think Brown, Edwards, and Otah was worth where we got them but not what we gave up.

Back to '95 wouldn't really be fair, considering Hurney hasn't been here that long.

How do you figure Otah was not worth what we gave up?

I can see a point for Brown and Edwards, but Otah??

if Otah can stay healthy......he could easily make a run at being the best RT in the NFC or NFL. It is unforunate he has been injury prone......but he worth his 1st round price when on the field.

Agreed...the guy is a monster and is the best run blocker on the team and maybe in the league. You just can't get to our RBs when he is the lead blocker and I think its pretty apparent who the most valuable player on the OL is.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
