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.

    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
