HOLY CRAP! We drafted who???

[ncbobcat]

A. Ellison pissed me off. There were a few other DTs on the board I wanted before him.

Wasn't Corvey Irvin a 3rd rounder? "What?" He was 5th to 7th on most boards.

Ditto on Ellison, again it's like they have a dart board in the war room after the first round. We generally do well in the first, but flounder as high as the second.

Irvin, I was only upset about the person not the position. I've been on the DT bandwagon for 3 DRAFTS now... When we drafted Irvin I was like, 'NOW we decide to take a DT...and a reach at that'.

Not gonna lie, was pretty upset with the Beason pick. Boy was I wrong.

Stewy

I was all, "Why the f**k are we drafting a fake news anchor when we just got a RB?"

i'm ok with it now.

I know this is about who you were pissed about and it turned out ok, and I know it's too early, but i was absolutely furious with the Clausen and Armanti picks. I have never been a fan of Clausen Kool-aid, and the armanti pick seemed like a stretch and like we gave up waaaaaaaaaay too much for.

Totally called Stewart and T.Davis. Both picks were long-shots before the draft and people were calling me crazy.

I hated the Clausen pick.

I didn't like the JStew pick. I am a terrible person for it. I was wrong m(._.)m

Everyone is going to laugh at this one, but I'm going to man up and eat some serious crow. (Maybe somebody already stated this draft pick, I haven't read all of the posts)

I was angry when the Panthers picked up DeAngelo. Considering that Fox was a ground and pound guy and we needed to replace Stephen Davis, I was thinking it would be best if the Panthers picked up LenDale White.:hat:

Just from seeing all of White's highlights with Reggie Bush, I was completely convinced this was a no brainer. So when the Panthers selected D-Lo, I was thinking "Who in the world is this!?!" Then they showed his size and the college team he played for, and I once again found myself thinking "Why did they get this Barry Sanders wannabe when they could have had a powerful, fast RB with White?"

And now here we are, forty-two hundred rushing yards (averaging 5 yards a carry) and over 30 touchdowns later, and I couldn't be more relieved that I was very wrong. Plus, we got a true powerful back in Stewart a couple of years later.

My two first rounders that I didn't call correctly since 2002 were Williams and Beason. Both turned out pretty darn good though. Each were later first rounders and I think BPA takes over ideology/philosophy at that point. That's where I messed up.

A lot of people thought that.

Plus there was all the pre-draft news that we told White not to run the 40 at his pro day and Hurney and Fox had supposedly taken White and Darnell Bing to dinner.

I wanted Williams, but half expected White.

I thought drafting Clausen instead of a receiver was a horrible move. Also, Armanti would've dropped to AT LEAST the 5th round. Drafting him that high was stupid.

I second all 3 of those points

[Actionman0z]

Anderson, I cant remember his last name.. He was a safety, Siefert drafted him.. I watched him in the senior bowl, and I was like.. man I want anyone else but this fuging guy.. and sure enough we drafted him, in the 1st round... he eventually retired with neck problems.

[Mr. Scot]

Rashard Anderson.

For the record, like others I hated the Clausen pick because I was fine with Matt Moore and I thought it cost us a chance at a top receiver.

After we drafted Brandon LaFell, I became okay with it.

After the season was over, I went back to not liking it

[Tarheels23]

Let's see if I can get this right since no one else seems to be able to. I can remember being pissed about the D. Williams pick. I wanted LenDale White or MJD instead.

Damian Williams and Golden Tate went between Clausen and LaFell being selected.

If you had to go back, would you have taken one of them over LaFell? I was hoping for Tate at first, but I like the LaFell pick and despite as bad as Clausen has been, I guess I at least like the "intent" of picking him. I don't know. I prefer to look at it more as, "This is what we have," now more than anything else

Armanti we paid a lot to get, but NE DID take a WR with the very next pick. There very well could have been a chance that he wouldn't have been there for the team's next pick.

Jury's still out for me, honestly.

If I recall correctly, Tate never even cracked the starting lineup. Williams? I'd have to look him up.

LaFell actually looked like he was coming along nicely by year's end. Hoping that continues.
