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?

      This is an important point.  When you let the offense choose the matchup so easily you are only hurting yourself.  At least make them work to get the matchup they want.

      This is incredibly dishonest, and you know it. We didn't cherry-pick a "small amount of deep throws late in the year." We reviewed every one of Bryce's deep throws using the NFL's own film and data via NFL Pro. The analysis was thorough, transparent, and contextualized with game film. Dismissing that as cherry-picking is not only incredibly disingenuous, it is textbook gaslighting as well. Let's walk through the actual data: Top-10 in deep ball accuracy Top-5 in short-range accuracy Bottom-10 in intermediate accuracy (not ideal, but not "league worst" either) If you're going to lean on the "no pressure" qualifier again, his deep passing under pressure was covered. So no... it wasn't cherry-picked. Look, you don't have to believe in Bryce. That's your right... but misrepresenting clear, consistent evidence crosses the line from skepticism into willful intellectual dishonesty.

      big picture though, that largely sounds like a horrible idea to go about things.  Not saying I think they did that.  Think the illusion of that is largely just PRish of presenting a image of things working out well.  But yeah, you don't want your WR influencing who you draft at TE.  Players are going to be bringing crazy bias into the equation and a 23 year old struggling QB shouldn't be making your top 10 pick.
