Who is the Panthers biggest draft bust?

Kerry Collins is up there--his play was OK, but he did not want to be here or a teammate.

Rashard Anderson sucked.

To me, the Armanti Edwards pick was so stupid (even thought it was a third rounder) it has to be included because it was the dumbest pick (even dumber than Clausen)--giving away the 33rd pick in the draft to take a tiny, small school QB to convert to punt returner / wildcat qb / WR. What the hell was Marty thinking? We needed the draft more than ever that year because we were not doing a thing in free agency. The pick followed Marty's attempt to move up for Clausen. Marty sucked.

Jimmy Clausen was being compared to Kurt Warner and had people saying that he should have been the #1 overall pick. We were unanimously praised when we took him. Despite him being a fine young male I got excited and bought the hype.

Pickles is and hopefully forever will be our biggest bust.

I made a very lengthy post once about how Clausen was the best choice at that time.

We needed a QB BADLY, took him, and look at the rest of the players from that draft and it is not like we passed up on anyone worth a damn.

    • Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.
    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
