What was the most pumped you've ever been for a Panthers 1st rounder right after it happened?

[Proudiddy]

It's really close between Cam and Pep, but probably a slight edge to Cam because he plays the most prominent position in the sport.  And both lived up the the hype.

[XClown1986]

Easily Luke Kuechly. I have never been more excited about a player selection

Luke

[DamnItJake!]

McCaffery!! Loved his dad with Denver.. Awesome work in college. But now he stays broke.. grrr

I was like who when he was selected!! But when he started playing.. I was like oh yeah!!

[t96]

Cam easily. Then Star.

[App Panther]

CMC no doubt.

[Double Trouble]

Star. I never thought he would fall like he did. Was not excited about Shaq/Butler/Horn. Horn will be a good player but I wanted Slater or Fields.

For me, unfortunately it was Jimmy Pickles. I live in NW Indiana, about 35 minutes from Notre Dame and I remember sitting in my friends living room at the time asking him what the chances were Clausen fell to the Panthers (because we didn't have a 1st round pick) he said the chances were virtually nonexistent because he was pegged as a top 10 pick.

Wouldn't ya know it he fell to us and the rest is history.

Careful for what you wish for folks. I learned a very valuable lesson that day that I still carry with me to this day.

I was also excited for Cam because I figured there was no way we'd take a QB #1 overall after just taking one with our highest pick the year prior. But Jimmy was really THAT bad and again, the rest is history.

Has to be McCaffrey for me since I live in west coast and watched a ton of Stanford & others PAC 12 games and I know the kid is the baller. Plus I don't think we can land him with the #8 spot. Super stoked!

I was thrilled with Pep when he was picked. Wasn't sure he would live up to the hype. Never more glad to be so wrong. Forgive me Mr. Peppers.

[Call Me James]

Cam and Pepp.

It's all good. I've loved some bad picks and hated some good ones. Really wanted some guys we passed on who went onto become good players and loathed passing on some guys who were busts. The draft is a crap shoot and everyone needs to keep that in mind.

I remember Star ‘s crazy good outing in that Utah-USC game and never thought we’d wind up with him. Was very stoked.
