Who is the biggest Panthers bust of the last five drafts?

I'm gonna get scientific. Bust = highest draft position x ability demonstrated x chances they've had to demonstrate ability / Injury. 

Using this formula our biggest draft bust since 2012 is ...... Kony Ealy.

 

Closely followed by Amini Silatolu and Daryl Worley. 

 

Don't @ me.

 

Silatolu was 6 drafts ago. The Ealy mention is one I hadn't thought of.

I keep being drawn to Butler even though I don't believe he can't become a more useful piece. But we had to pickup a free agent DT instead of using our first round selection

Ealy is still in the league and graded out as average last year for the Jets, becoming a key piece in their rotation.  He didn’t pan out for us, but I wouldn’t say he’s a bust since his pro career is still ongoing.  Kugbila fits the bust description much better.

Were only going back to 2012?

 

A few more

Everrette Brown- traded away the next seasons 1st round pick.  Brown was with the team for only 2 seasons.  And only started 3 games.  Was on and off a couple other teams before being out of the league 3 seaons later 

Armanti Edwards- traded away what was the #33 pick in the 2011 draft.  Edwards had 0 starts in his 4 seasons here and had a career 5 catches for 121 yards

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
