Last team to have the #1 pick two years in a row?

It was the 1999 (QB Tim Couch) and 2000 (DE Courtney Brown) Cleveland Browns. They were in their first and second year of "new" existence, so it was understandable. Before that it was the 1994 (DT Dan Wilkinson) and 1995 (HB Ki-Jana Carter) Cincinnati Bengals.

If the Panthers achieve this feat two years in a row, regardless of drafting Andrew Luck in 2012 (can't believe I'm still talking about him), what would this say about the franchise?

Could you endure the embarrassment of having a franchise draft #1 overall two years in a row, if you knew you had a shot at the next "Peyton Manning"???

the rams would have probably picked number 1 three years in a row if it werent for the lions infamous 0-16 season

and i would rather get the next manning instead of going say, 5-11, and getting something like a DE

I can't believe anyone is actually deciding that we are picking #1 next year when we have only just finished this season.

Honestly this makes more of a reflection on your over reaction to this season, because only someone completely missing the point would assume one season would indicate the next.

Hey I'm not hoping or predicting it...I'm just saying it's possible and both of those teams picked absolute busts with all four of those picks. Odds of our pick being a bust are pretty high.

the bengals actually traded up from the fifth pick with us to grab the first overall in 1995

The Jets pulled off the daily double after the 95-96 seasons, but traded the #1 pick in the 97 draft to St. Louis
