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

[RetiredCollegeCoach]

There's a clear right answer, but go ahead and give me your thoughts.

[London Loves Luke]

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

This guy , don’t be like him Hurney and pass over  a HOF TE because of ego and draft a rotational DT/WR/CB.

Ealy stands out as a true bust. 

2017 is to early to tell. KK of course is awesome, I think ok but not spectacular sums up the rest of the first and second rounders. 

Can you really bust in the third? 

[Eazy-E]

Edmund Kugbila. The guy never even played a down for us.

[KillerKat]

Definitely Kony Ealy

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.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. But you can definitely fall short relative to other thirds.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Wasn't Kugbila a fourth round pick tho?  I don't think that would be considered a bust. 

[Moo Daeng]

I didn't reall6 consider 2nd and beyond for defining busts. Maybe second but certainly not 3rd or lower.

[Moo Daeng]

Walt played decently. Not a bust as a 2nd IMO.

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

you clearly have an agenda with this thread, stop being passive aggressive and spit it out.
