Panthers are the Best in 1st Round Picks


Section 505

Recommended Posts

In the Fox/Hurney era (since 2002). I did a little research and looked at all other 31 teams' first round picks since 2002. The Panthers are the ONLY team to have a first round pick from EVERY year 2002 through 2008 be on their roster and be a full time starter. Yes Jonathon Stewart is not, but Jeff Otah is, and he was a first round pick.

Pittsburgh is the closest still having every 1st rounder since 2002 still on the roster but their 2007 pick (Lawrence Timmons 2 starts/16 games played) and 2008 pick (Rashard Mendenhall 1/4) are not full time starters.

Colts are the next best. Colts didn't have a pick in 2004, and 2007 pick (Anthony Gonzalez 2 starts/16 games played) wasn't a full time starter in 2008.

Then Dallas. They didn't have a first rounder in 2004, and their 2006 pick (Bobby Carpenter 0 games started/3 games played), 2007 pick (Anthony Spencer 0/12) 2008 picks (Mike Jenkins 3/14, Felix Jones 0/6) aren't full time starters.

Then the Bucs. They didn't select a first rounder in 2002 and 2003. Their 2004 pick (Michael Clayton 9 starts/15 games played), 2005 pick (Cadillac Williams 1/6) and 2008 pick (Aqib Talib 2/15) weren't full time starters in 2008

Most every other team doesn't have all those picks still on their roster.

So Fox/Hurney arguably have been the best in the biz in first round picks. If you argue that a first round pick should be a starter. It could be argued that if a team is good enough, no first round pick would be able to start for them. But the Panthers lowest first round picks (Beason 25, Deangelo 27) are two of their best 1st round picks.

Now 2nd through 7th is a different story and there they have a lot of room for improvement. So unfortunately that does not bode too well for the 2009 draft.

You really have to look at 2 drafting eras under Fox and Hurney. 2006 and earlier versus since. We turned over college scouting personnel in 2006 so the last couple of drafts are markedly different than the 2005 draft which was awful for example. If you look at 2007 and 2008 a majority of those players through the first several rounds are all starters or contributors. We seem to be getting better at later round picks.

Yes the Fact that we have Peppers, Jordan, Gamble, Davis, Williams, Beason, Stewart and Otah starting or getting valuable minutes is quite impressive. Most other teams would be very content with that.

I agree completely with this. Since the new regime we have done wonders in the draft.

2007 We are missing only one of our 2nd round and on pick

2nd Round Dwayne Jarrett expect to step up big in 09

2nd Round R. Kalil Beginning of a solid Career started 08

3rd Round C. Johnson Really has the talent and has what it takes to step up in 09

4th Round R. Robinson Injured in 08 but should resume role as KR/PR in 08

5th Round D. Rosario Needs to continue on promising start.

5th Round T. Shaw odd man out in a deep Linebacking Corp

7th Round C. J. Wilson expect to move into Nickel spot.

2008 We have everyone we drafted and most should contribute.

3rd Round Godfrey Starting

3rd Round Dan Conner (returning from injury should contribute)

5th Round G. Barnidge Saw PT last season should see more this year.

6th Round N. Hayden got valuable PT late last season should help with little depth at DT

7th Round H. Taylor Productive PT could easily take Peps spot or at least be in rotation

7th Round G. Schwartz will be relied to fill the void in the depth for the OL

7th Round M. Bernadeau with Hangman gone he could be back up center.

Very impressive that all 4 - 7th rounders are still with us. Show solid picks. in 07 and 08.

Couple more years of this and we will have a very solid team and win the Super Bowl. You build through the draft. Counting 1st Rounders we have 16 of our last 17 picks still on our roster.

Great Job... Lets go for 5 for 5 tomorrow.

Go Panthers

Pointless thread. Ok, we've been good with the first round picks. We...don't have one this year. What we DO have is a second-round pick.

Do some research and get back to me on how good the Panthers have been in THAT round under Fox/Hurney. :D

Are we a little cynical this morning?

I think our whole scouting dept deserves a raise. If you can hit on just half your picks constantly you will be a playoff contender almost every year.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
