rashard anderson, biakabatuka, kerry collins, carruth, peters...pretty much everyone drafted in the first round before hurney/fox

This. Drafts used to be a big "so what" for the Panthers. In the 90s, our first rounders were:

Kerry Collins - here for a few seasons before killing the locker room and quitting

Tyrone Poole - lasted three years before leaving for Indianapolis

Blake Brockermeyer - A pretty forgettable tackle who battled injuries for four seasons before we let him leave in Free Agency

Tim Biakabutuka - Played in 50 games over 6 seasons, and scored only 14 touchdowns over that time.

Rae Carruth - Even if he hadn't been a murderer, he was still a crappy NFL receiver who wouldn't start on our current roster.

Jason Peter - Gave us three injury-filled, 'roided up seasons.

Rashard Anderson - Never started, and played just one year before getting cut after violating the league's substance abuse policy

Dan Morgan - A tackling machine, he couldn't stay healthy. Played in 59 games over 7 seasons.

What's funny is, Hurney could never draft a second rounder who stuck (Kalil excepted), but before he got here, our second rounders included Muhsin Muhammad, Mike Minter, Mike Rucker, Deon Grant, and Kris Jenkins.

Here's to hoping that Gettleman drafts like Hurney in the first, and Capers/Seiffert in the second. :)

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
