What was the Panthers best draft class?

[Happy Panther]

Have we ever had an outstanding draft?

Here is every draft class.

'07 was actually pretty good as well. 3 out of the top 4 anyway.

'01

Agreed... Morgan, Jenkins, Smith.

'07 and '08 might be in a tie for 2nd.

07 or 08, it's tough to pick one. I was leaning 07 but 08 is good as well. But I think Steve Smith is the best pick the Panthers ever made for sure.

[Stumpy]

I gotta go 07 right now, we got two perennial pro bowlers/all pros, one player on the cusp of that level, and two special teams aces. (Rosario and Wilson) And if Rosario can break out this year as a top flight TE that will definitely solidify 07 as one of the best NFL draft classes in recent memory.

The verdict is still out on 08. The only proven commodities we have so far are JStew who would be the starter on almost any other team in the league, Connor who we still haven't found a place for yet, but could be a very solid starting MLB, and Godfrey who is an average to good safety who is still improving. Then you have Otah, Barnidge, Hayden and Schwartz who are all still big ?s IMO.

The 2001 draft class, we had 3 potential HOFers, but all fell short of their potential. Morgan couldn't stay healthy, Jenkins couldn't stay out of the pantry and Smitty never had a consistent offense around him.

2001 followed by 2007 then 2008.

Several strong drafts there.

That's true, we did get an injured LBer and like 3 compensatory picks out of that draft.
