Name a time when you were totally wrong, when we drafted a player that just pissed you off at the time because you thought the player sucked or was not a need player, only to discover how wrong you were later.

I will be man enough to admit that I was PISSED when we drafted Jon Beason. Morgan was the man in the middle and I thought Beason was a second rounder. I think we had the 14th pick, that year, but traded it to NYJ.

I was also pissed when we drafted Ryan Kalil. I think Hartwig was the center and I thought the second round was too high for a Center.

I thought drafting Clausen instead of a receiver was a horrible move. Also, Armanti would've dropped to AT LEAST the 5th round. Drafting him that high was stupid.

And I will be honest, I HATED the J-Stew pick. Everyone thought he would be the new starter with Foster gone, but I was a VERY strong believer in Williams before he even started.

I hated the Clausen pick.

I remember being confused about Stewart.

I remember hating the Sherrod martin pick because it said he was a safety on the TV. I wanted to draft Duke Robinson:eek:

Jon Beason was alright with me I remember not liking some scouting report said he thought he was better than he was.

I remember i was steaming mad in the 6th round of this years draft when we took pugh and gettis , while steve smith 2.0 ( looks wise muscular frame and even same basic face look ) Kyle williams was still there and low and behold he went 4 picks later to San Fran ..

Gettis proved me wrong .. pugh needs another year before we'll know, but the potential seems to be there ..

Another one was more of i was pissed at the luck of the draw.. 07 draft 2nd round Minnesota was picking ..mel kiper was talking all about dwayne jarrett and how he'd go there .. and i was like hell yes now WE can get Sidney Rice!! .. then hell broke lose , sidney was drafted and we drafted jarrett the very next pick.. and .. well you know how that turned out

- Kerry Collins over Steve McNair

- Tim Biakabutuka over Eddie George

- Jason Peter over Vonnie Holliday

- Chuck Wylie and Mitch Marrow over Leonard Little

- DeShaun Foster over Clinton Portis

Oh, you said times I was wrong (doh).

Not trying to brag, but I can't think of any draft picks I absolutely hated that wound up winning me over.

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
