2009 was a bad year for the draft in general, tons of busts in the top 12. Only two solid players in the top 12, then you get a few good players through the rest of the round.

1) Matthew Stafford QB- solid

2) Jason Smith OT- bust

3) Tyson Jackson DE- semi-bust

4) Aaron Curry OLB- bust

5) Mark Sanchez QB- likely bust

6) Andre "3000 lbs" Smith OT- semi-bust

7) Darrius Heyward-Bey WR- bust

8) Eugene Monroe OT- decent

9) BJ Raji NT- solid

10) Michael Crabtree WR- bust

11) Aaron Maybin OLB- bust

12) Knowshon Moreno RB- injury bust

Is this draft class for the Panthers the worst ever for the Panthers?

You have to add to this the Panthers were also getting fugged hard by Julius Peppers and his Franchise Tag scenario.

Marty Hurney, hellova job!

I hope 2013 will be a good year. We can expect at least two players this draft to be decent backups, and one decent starter. The rest will be busts. Hopefully 2013 will be decent and we can fill some more of these glaring holes. WR should be adressed in 2013 imo in the First.

    • I don't know if Canales is any good as a head coach yet, but he has done well with our non-XL receivers. I personally think he is handicapped by a key personnel and that is partly out of his hands for the next couple weeks. He's also very young, so will absolutely have head scratchers and growing pains. But outside of Wilks he's probably already out best HC since Rivera, which isn't saying much, and imo his ceiling is unknown vs Wilks' which is unfortunately very well known.
    • That's not what Bryce was pitched to be. Nor was the, what, 4th or 5th Tepper rebuild iteration? That's the problem with all this. You trade all this draft capital up to get these guys(Bryce, XL, etc) and then when they get their opportunities they can't hack it. As I have said many times, I view this as less of a development issue as I do an evaluation issue. We just suck at identifying talent correctly. It fails us all too often. If it was solely development, so many of these guys that left here after being failed draft picks would be studs. That is literally almost never the case.
    • I remember the days when it would take WRs a few years to figure it out in the NFL...  What a time that was! Getting to the point of guys finding success else where after flopping here:  patience and a vision. Thanks to Tepper, we haven't been able to develop a vision.  Without patience, everything is a reaction. That's not to say sometimes you can tell when a fit it bad and people need to move on.  In XLs case, it's not going to hurt us to be patient.   Sure, fans see how Tmac is doing and are like "XL who??"  I get it, but I also think reacting for the sake of reacting isn't the best thing to do. Should XL get off social media for a bit and focus on the game?  Yes.  As Cam screamed "Lock in bro!"   I know being patient is hard when you see guys get off to fast starts in their careers.  Tepper can't really afford to be reactive right now.  He's got to let Dan and Dave have the time to build their team. Most of us are Panther fans.  We're the idiots here, year after year, hoping things have changed.  Most of us will continue to do so, and hope things turn around.  While some of us will balk at the salary cap, contracts and wasted years; it doesn't affect us personally since we're just fan. Now for those folks on the teams...yeah...they need to get it together before they lose their jobs and have to move!
