TD, Gamble, Otah, Fua, Colbert (shh)

I'll be honest and say I didn't see DeAngelo coming. I remember the drumbeat being quite big and annoying for Lawrence Maroney lmfao

I thought Beason was a stud but for some reason (I can't remember) that pick surprised me. There must have been a few other names people were screamin' for that year.

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.

This is hillarious because it sounds exactly like me. I remember wanting Rashaun Woods soooo bad and then SF took him and I was pissed. Just like you, it's a good thing I'm not running things because I am a complete mush at draft wishes.

Cam, DeAngelo and Dwayne Jarrett

Hated the Beason and TD picks. Go much further back than this and I was too young to know much about the draft.

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

This was the year we selected DeAngelo. Most people thought LenDale was the perfect compliment to Deshaun Foster and that DeAngelo was too similar to Foster to select.

This is a great thread. As others have said, I feel very similar to NJPanthers12's post.

How good does it feel when the Panthers actually pick the player you want so bad?

My Happy Picks/Calls (When the player I wanted more than any others came to us; judging by how I felt at the time):

2002 Julius Peppers

2003 Jordan Gross

2004 Chris Gamble

2006 DeAngelo Williams

2011 Cam Newton

Unhappy Picks/Calls:

1998 Jason Peter

2000 Rashard Anderson

2005 Thomas Davis over Derrick Johnson (ugh!)

2006 Richard Marshall over Leonard Pope (I was so mad when Hester went one pick before Marshall)

2007 Jon Beason over Greg Olsen (so mad, but as I have said before on here, I am happy to have Olsen eventually get to us)

2009 Everette Brown over standing pat (I could not figure out this pick for anything--I thought we were unexpectedly trying to go to a 3-4)

2010 Jimmy Clausen over anyone else (I hated him in high school, at Notre Dame, and always thought he would be a bust)

Others:

1995 I didn't follow the draft that year

1996 I liked Biakabutuka and Muhammad

1997 I thought Rae Carruth had talent

1999 Felt good about

2001 Pretty happy, especially with Morgan once I figured out more about him

2009 I was pretty happy with that draft, although I didn't have favoritism for either player

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
