Teams with #1 Picks and their record the next Season


Recommended Posts

Of the Last 10 drafts only 2 teams made the playoffs. Both losing in the 1st rounds. I think of all the teams listed below we have the best lineup to do better than any of them.

2002 Houston Texans David Carr 4-12 1st Season in the league.

2003 Cincinnati Bengals Carson Palmer 8-8 Palmer didn't play that season.

2004 San Diego Chargers Eli Manning... Trade with Giants and received Phillip Rivers and 3rd Round Pick Nate Kaeding.. (1st and another pick in 2005 as well)12-4 Lost in 1st Round

2005 SF 49ers Alex Smith 4-12 Last NFC West

2006 Houston Texans Mario Williams 6-10 Last AFC North

2007 Oakland Raiders JaMarcus PURPLE DRANK Russell. 4-12 Last AFC West J. Russell didn't play until week 16 and started week 17.

2008 Miami Dolphins Jake Long 11-5 1st AFC East Lost 1st Round Playoffs

2009 Detroit Lions Matt Stafford Last NFC North 2-14

2010 St. Louis Rams Sam Bradford 2nd NFC West 7-9 missed playoffs in the last week of the season.

2011 Carolina Panthers Cam Newton ????

I believe with our talent. We could actually surpass Miami and SD and go from worst to deep in the playoffs. I think if we can get through the 1st month of the season. 2-2 or better. We can really surprise alot of people.

Go Panthers

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
