Can we nail our first round pick for the third straight season?

Even though we have a different GM, are you guys confident we will bring in another franchise superstar like Cam/Luke with our first pick?

Cam and Luke are about the best two cornerstones to build your franchise around and we should feel absolutely blessed to have these two for the next 5-10 seasons. That being said, could we find another stud at receiver/defensive back/offensive linemen at 14 or are we due for a stinker?

You guys can complain about the direction of this franchise all you want, but with Newton, Kuechly, and the possibility of another young superstar, I genuinely look forward to the next decade of Panther football.

I think a key factor is the interview process, and finding guys we know want to be here for the long haul no matter what. Gotta bring in superstars that wont part ways when it comes time for a new contract. We've always been fairly good at this minus Peppers...

I have a gut feeling - that's all it is, probably just my desires influencing my gut - that Star will not be deemed completely 100% free of all possibly health problems for the rest of his life, but he will be cleared for football and his heart guesstimated to not be a significant risk. This will cause him to fall to us (few, if any, teams in the entire NFL need a DT as bad as we do so others decide not to bother with the chance and pick from a different need of equal or close value to DT for them), we take him, he turns out to be everything he's hyped to be, and we ace 1st round pick #3 in a row.

Other then Otah, Carolina has nailed the first round for the last decade or so.

Even Otah was great when he actually played. The Panthers haven't missed on a pick since 2000, when Tony Softli took over college scouting. Don Gregory replaced him in 2006, and he's still here.

Assuming Gettleman listens to his scouts as well as Hurney did, we shouldn't have to worry about our first pick.

And also consider Gettleman has a scouting background and he can have his own opinion of players. Hurney more or less had to rely on reports.

Although it will be hard to beat or match Hurney's success in the first round.

    • When we drafted Bryce....no one was arguing that was his game.    It is Dave's.  And he has drafted a roster post Bryce that fits it.   I still think Bryce is sort of the misplaced character in the present day build of the Panthers.  Think he naturally fits a spread them out game and nickel and dime them.  Not the chunk play vertical game on the perimeter game that is the Dave tree.  I still think Morgan is building something more along the lines of his 2003 era team.....and the best fit at QB is a downfield gambler (which is also what Dave Canales did at Tampa and Pete did at Seattle). 
    • Couple of other things that I remember even though I never rewatched the game: Play after the cotchery catch (because yes it was a fuging catch) was the strip sack fumble 6.  Can’t remember which broncos defender left early/ jumped offside on the missed field goal but it wasn’t called.  Aqib Talib (seriously fug that guy forever) getting beat by Philly brown so bad that he grabbed his face mask and yanked it like he was trying to break his neck. We got the penalty for it, but honestly he should have been thrown out of the game. Can’t remember which drive but I remember ginn running out of bounds when he seemingly had space to gain another 5-10 yards on a drive where we didn’t score.  Kony Ealy would have likely been the Super Bowl MVP had we won which sounds absurd to say since he basically disappeared from the face of the earth after that game
