Mehhh we win more than losing drafting just look at the pipeline 

Recently but a lot of Rutherford’s picks were flat out luck (Aho, Slavin, Pesce, etc.)

We missed on a ton first round talent during JR’s tenure to select guys like Jake Bean, Julien Gauthier, Haydn Fleury, Ryan Murphy, Philippe Paradis, and Zach Boychuk.

Success occurred once we started nailing first round picks like Svechnikov, Necas, and Jarvis.

Those came around when Rod became a part of the coaching….

And Waddell took over for Francis/JR.

Though I believe Necas was a Francis pick.

In reality the best picks during that tenure didn’t even have their best years in Carolina (Lindholm and Hanifin).

Waddell has done a lot of good for this franchise.

So, is Donnie Wads better at drafting or making deals?

Tough to say but I’d lead toward drafting.

Svechnikov, Drury, Kochetkov, and Jarvis are NHL’ers.

Nikishin, Ponomarev, Blake, Morrow, FUS, and Nadeau all look promising.

The only disappointment is Suzuki and injuries killed his career before it even got started.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
