when he ran our scouting dept we took alot of risky picks that didn't pan out, under gregory we have drafted more guys who can atleast play in the nfl. you can never spend enough money in the scouting dept IMO

just looked at some past drafts and just thought some of these were interesting..

in 05' RB Eric Shelton was taken 11 picks before Frank Gore, 56 picks before Brandon Jacobs and 76 picks before Darren Sproles..

Elvis Dumervil was picked 5 picks after Nate Salley in the 4th round of 06'.. and Jamar Williams was picked 1 pick ahead of Salley.. and Brandon Marshall the pick before Jamar Williams..

in 07' WR Dwayne Jarrett was picked in between WRs Sidney Rice and Steve Smith

and Tank Tyler was taken with the pick right before we nabbed Charles Johnson..

Ryne Robinson was taken 42 picks before Steve Breaston..

Softli made enough of an impression on the Panthers that he rose quickly through the organization. He was finally promoted to Director of College Scouting in 2000. Softli helped the Panthers become one of the premier franchises in the league.

Along the way, he helped the team secure the likes of Julius Peppers, Steve Smith, Kris Jenkins and Dan Morgan. His drafts were successful and, according to NFL.com’s Gil Brandt, he had helped the Panthers procure the highest percentage of drafted starters in the league at 37 percent.

While Softli was a great success in Carolina, it had become clear to him that he had essentially hit his ceiling for some time with the organization. Of course, that didn’t stop him from becoming an innovator in professional scouting.

didn't say he couldn't do his job cause he did and he also put some nice touches on the way we keep track of prospects, it's that the panthers have over the last couple of drafts as a organization have placed a emphasis on production that players have in college and not reaching as much as they had in the past(their always exceptions to this but look at how many picks have made the team and contributed from 07 thru present)

To play devil's advocate, Eric Shelton, Dwayne Jarrett and Keary Colbert all had tremendous productivity in college.

i did say their are a few exceptions, but 22 of the 24 players the panthers drafted since 07 are still on the team and 23 of the 24 are still in the nfl that's a very good percentage(this includes every pick in 08 and 09)

      Legette. Wrist surgery?

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      Daniel Jeremiah: Panthers prime trade candidate

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
