Every single LB they ever drafted under the current regime except Jerod Mayo was a total scrub (Crable, Guyton, and Woods have potential but haven't been great yet and those are all just the past couple years). They eff up too. They are worse at drafting WRs in the second round than the Cats are. Colbert & Jarrett > Chad Jackson and Bethel Johnson. What they do better than the Cats is cover up their weaknesses.

I was just throwing a name out there of a guy in the "meat" of the draft (Rounds 3-7) who had a lot of potential but hasn't amounted to much. As Herm Edwards said on the ESPN telecast today, the foundation of teams are built in the last 4 rounds. Not everyone is the superstar, so the guys picked in these rounds are what really makes up a team.

That being said, to our credit, we have made several nice selections late in drafts. Problem is the best ones we usually let go: Rashad Butler (I believe he became a starter with Houston), Jovan Haye (became a beast with TB), Stanley McClover (think he got some PT with Houston too, but he had a lot of potential). CJ Wilson has been well worth the value of where we got him.

But with guys like that DT we took from Missouri in 2005, Eric Shelton, Stefan Lefors, etc., that kind of negates the small contribution we've gotten from later round picks. The Pats cover their weaknesses well because the guys they get late contribute more than most 1st and 2nd rounders other teams draft (Brady, Asante Samuel, Ellis Hobbs, etc.)

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
