How did our 2008 draft picks work out for us?

Obviously Otah and Stewart were amazing. But what about the rest?

I can't remember who all we drafted but here are a few that we can still be excited about:

1. Hilee Taylor - injured of late (calf or something) however could this be our version of John Abraham??? Showed some promise however needs to gain some weight and strength. I'm excited about him!

2. Dan Conner - lost him for the season due to ACL but he could really add great debth next year. Another very promising player.

3. Gary Barnage - Not sure about this guy. I think he plays special teams for now. Could this be our next Jason Witten?

Who else do we have that may make the Panthers even better next year? Did I miss anyone?

I think we should draft another defensive lineman (for sure) to add depth and perhaps even another offensive lineman (games are won/lost in the trenches folks).

Yea this is a bit early to be talking about but I'm bored waiting for our next game. :D

I will be suprised if Dan Connor works out here, for some reason we keep drafting 3-4 LBs to be our back-ups, like we are specifically drafting them to play special teams and never take a snap

we have davis, beason, diggs and anderson, these are the only guys i think really fit in our system

the rest are stocky guys with good instincts but marginal physical skills to play in a 4-3 as far as coverage and blitzing is concerned

I've always been confused by this

The reason Dan Conner was taken was because he was amazing value for a third rounder. It was almost like getting someone like Felix Jones in the third round.

I like BPA, and Connor was definatley BPA, but will it be worth it even if he doesn't fit here?

I mean when we drafted richard marshall it seemed odd because we already had two good corners, but he was BPA, but he also fit into what we were doing

Jstew= big plus

The big O= plus but only played in 11 games

Godfrey= plus Has done very well for a rookie translatting to FS. much room for improvement

Connor= push looked good but tore his ACL early

Barnidge = push

Nick Hayden= push, I havent seen him much but he has much to improve

The rests are pushes as well

The Falcons have had four winning seasons in their illustrious franchise history.

Saw this coming but you'll notice i wasn't pointing out that the Panthers have a bad history for such a young franchise (it's actually damn good for an expansion team) and it's more than 4 actually. Was just saying Dynasty? That's just a lot premature

EDIT: we have 10 winning seasons.

I haven't seen much of Nick H either. What round did we draft him in?

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.
