Best ever Panthers draft?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

So what year saw the best draft in the Panthers relatively short history?

 

Here are summaries from the ones I would consider as contenders...

 

 

2001

 

Contributors:

1st - LB Dan Morgan
2nd - DT Kris Jenkins
3rd - WR Steve Smith
5th - S Jarrod Cooper

 

Highest Miss:

4th - QB Chris Weinke

 

 

 

 

2002

 

Contributors:

1st - DE Julius Peppers
2nd - RB DeShaun Foster
3rd - LB Will Witherspoon
4th - S Dante Wesley

 

Highest Miss:

5th - QB Randy Fasani

 

 

 

 

 

2007

 

Contributors:

1st - LB Jon Beason
2nd - C Ryan Kalil
3rd - DE Charles Johnson
5th - Dante Rosario

 

Highest Miss:

2nd - WR Dwayne Jarrett

 

 

 


2012

 

Contributors:

1st - LB Luke Kuechly
2nd - G Amini Silatolu

3rd - TE Greg Olsen (via trade)
4th - DE Frank Alexander
6th - P Brad Nortman

 

Highest Miss:

4th - WR-RS Joe Adams

 

 

 

Out of these choices, what year would you say offered us the best value of the bunch?

 

Are there other years you would consider just as productive or more so that I might have missed?  (feel free to list them)

2001 got us to the Superbowl.

 

You could definitely argue that.

 

I believe 2007 arguably could have been the best ever, but that nasty whiff in Round Two really knocks it down a peg.

 

Had that one high pick not been a colossal bust, who knows?

    • IMO, I wouldn't consider either one of them a JAG, or Norwell or Mike Jack. I define a JAG as someone that can be easily replaced cheaply on day 3 of FA. A perfect example is Nick Scott. A deent enough back-up but not a starter. We let him test FA this offseason, no one made a good offer, we brought him back then drafted his replacement (I hope). Luvu, Shaq and Norwell were all starters that we let walk for financial reasons... And they all got picked up immediately by other teams. After they left us, they were missed. I fear that the same thing will happen next year with Jackson.
    • No he is not. On any other normal team he would be a backup if not off the team. 
    • You could be right. I feel like if Bryce has a year basically the same as last year we're better off trading him because there are likely several teams that would be interested, despite what his naysayers on this forum will tell you. Not saying we'd get a 1st or 2nd rounder, but I feel confident some team would be willing to cough up a 3rd rounder for a former #1 overall QB that has shown at least some flashes.
