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

 

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

2nd - DT Kris Jenkins
3rd - WR Steve Smith
5th - S Jarrod Cooper

 

Highest Miss:

4th - QB Chris Weinke

 

 

 

 

2002

2nd - RB DeShaun Foster

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?

    • Yeah lol well the interest isn’t really about seeking stimulation.  I wanted to see how actually bad it was.  And how much of it was women setting him up to be their cash cow.  That is the stuff that leveraged the Panthers into David Tepper’s hands. It is important in that sense.     The worst that I have heard is that he got them in the car and clumsily reached across to help them with their seat belt and made contact. With his arm. That was probably his big slick move. And I can almost guarantee he wasn’t rejected every time. It is easy to picture that action bringing his head close enough to the woman’s head to where he could go in for the kiss if he thought he got the green light.    I really don’t care if JR was a horn dog. We heard all our lives up until the last few years that one of the perks of being really old is that you can flirt with the young women and it is not just tolerated but expected. So he was keeping a tradition alive at some point 😂
    • Well I rubbed some dirt on it and am still here just not optimistic about the future of the QB position. Even what I had accepted as a ceiling raised to an acceptable level turned out to be a bit of a mirage, upon rewatch of the WC game.  Good plays were there yes, but some pretty bad ones too that the good ones late in the game kind of obscured. I have to downgrade that a little.  Especially after rewatching the last 4 plays. I remember the arguments about he did his job the WRs didn’t but that was really just that last muff by Coker I think it was on our final offensive play.   To the future: I know what my level is for paying him and recommitting, but I don’t have any confidence that the team shares my high bar.    But thanks for the pep talk
