Panthers ranked 24th, with the armanti trade, we should be 32nd.

Yea we should be last....despite the Oakland Raiders drafting one of the biggest busts in NFL history.

We have a ton of our picks still on our team and contributing... but will be more interesting will be to see how many we have in Rivera's second year depending on how well we do... If Rivera keeps our guys and we do well, or if Rivera releases a bunch and we do well.. That will tell us exactly how good our drafts really have been IMO.

Actually I think this list is crap. If you look closely you'll see that we have 13 starters drafted, most in the NFL. We also have 34 drafted players still on the team, most in the NFL. And screw him if he says having the best RB's in the NFL on your team is a bad thing. No one has the depth or quality of RB's we do and I'm proud to have them.

We are more talented than most teams we just need to to show it at QB. We've also refused to get a DT worth a sh1t in 5 years.

If Rivera gets us rolling right we will be a very fast, very dangerous, and very young team.

Yeah, but a number of our starters and a number of the players we drafted and kept happened because we didn't sign any vets last year etc. For instance, while one of our 2 great rookie wideouts may have ended up a "starter" on this list, both of them wouldn't have. The same is true of some of our linemen... on both sides of the ball.

That's why I think the coming years will be more telling.

Still, our drafting has imho been above where he puts us. You can't just go "Well, RBs can be had in later rounds, who cares if they got two of the best RBs in the league."

24th when they don't have the disaster of 2005 on there? nah i disagree.

I hate to sound like a homer but i don't trust this guys opinion if he's got us that low.
