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

 

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

3rd - WR Steve Smith
5th - S Jarrod Cooper

 

Highest Miss:

4th - QB Chris Weinke

2nd - C Ryan Kalil
3rd - DE Charles Johnson

2012

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?

    • There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years. 
    • All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens
    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
