1st - Kelvin Benjamin (traded)
2nd - Kony Ealy (cut)
3rd - Trai Turner (Pro Bowler)
4th - Tre Boston (cut)
5th - Bené Benwikere (cut)
6th - Tyler Gaffney (never played a down)

One Pro-Bowler, one pretty good wideout, three bit players (at best) and one player who never played a down. Not a great draft.

You can't fault DG for the next terrible GM trading away a great player. Ealy wasn't cut either but was ultimately a risk reward pick that didn't work out and you can blame DG for that. Boston and Benwikere contributed to success for us, that's more than can be said for the large majority of 4th and 5th round picks. And who's to say Bene wouldn't still be here and/or contributing in the league if he didn't have that brutal broken leg? Boston ain't so bad in LA either.

KB wasn't great and he wasn't getting a second contract here anyway.

Yea, Carolina hasn’t had a great GM ever. I don’t trust JR to hire us one this offseason, either. Gettleman was a conservative gm, an a**hole who’s drafts look pretty bad as each day passes. He was just good at managing the cap of the players here, and picking up a low risk player every once in awhile. With him, around here, the mantra was always, “we’re building for the future” “who would you rather have, ‘such and such free agent or “name in current panther who’s due a contract”. That was repeated every year, while we never saw any sustained success.

Hurneys just trash, and has no business being a GM. 

All starts with the top, though.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we do still have at least one Hurney apologist on board. 

This is the type of sh*t i’m talking about when I say the Huddle has a stance on Gettleman. Anything short of literally kissing his ass is Hurney apologism, apparently.

Lest we not forget our current acting GMs great ones

2011

1st: Cam- obvious good but hard to choke the #1 pick away from a class that has a potential 7 HOF draftes in the top 11 that year

 

2nd (33rd pick): traded away the year before for Armanti

3rd: Terrell McClain- lasted 1 season on the team

3rd (#2): Fua- lasted 2 years on the team

4th: Bradon Hogan- lasted 1 year on team

5th: Kealoha Pilares- lasted 2 seasons

6th: Lawerence Wilson-practice squad rookie season, realeased halfway through the season

6th (#2): Zachary Williams- 1 season then to arena league

7th: Lee Ziemba- 1 season

Blah blah I like my FUPA man he is always right but that coach Rivera who led us to the SB appearance an fielding top 10 Defense  is is poo  even though  FUPA man limited the offense with minimum investment

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
