How many players that you wanted...

Julius Peppers and Dwayne Jarrett.

2003: I wanted Byron Leftwich over Jordan Gross

2004: There is nothing I wanted more then the Panthers staying at 31 and drafting Ben Troupe instead of trading up and getting Gamble.

2005: I was praying Troy Williamson would drop to us. Then I felt sick to my stomach when we drafted Thomas Davis over Derrick Johnson.

2006: I thought LenDale White was the PERFECT compliment to DeAngelo Williams.

2007: Could not have been more pissed the Panthers traded down when they had the perfect opportunity to draft Reggie Nelson or Brandon Merriweather. I hated the Beason pick.

2008: Wanted Ryan Clady over Jonathan Stewart and Mendenhall over Otah. I still believe that would have happened if Broncos didn't take Clady right before us.

2009: Was very excited and was convinced we were going to draft Jarron Gilbert.

2010: Did not want Clausen and was extremely high on Taylor Price. Was pissed we did not draft him in the second.

2011: I was for everyone but Cam. Could not decide between PP7 and AJ Green.

Looking back to all the drafts since Julius, I could not have been more off. Thank god I am not in control of the draft because I have been off literally every year. This year I am high on both Morris Claiborne and Janoris Jenkins, which probably means we should stay away from both.

    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
