Players you completely whiffed on

Sparked by a post in the Panthers forum. Time to eat some crow.

Cam Newton - didn't want him, looks to be a future star

Matt Moore - thought he would be the next great undrafted QB

Dwayne Jarrett - thought he would be a perennial pro bowler

Aaron Curry - thought he would be a star, safest pick in the draft, etc

Golden Tate - proclaimed him the next Steve Smith

Mardy Gilyard - thought he would do great things

I also thought MM would be the next great undrafted QB

Thought the same as OP on G. Tate

Didn't think Jarrett would be a perennial Pro Bowler, but I thought he'd be a good solid #2 to take over for Moose.

Thought EB would be the next Freeney (even bought his jersey ugh)

Thought Naanee woul be a great addition, at least a good #3

I literally broke my TV remote when I heard Clausen's name announced because I wanted Tate sooooo bad. I mean he's shown flashes of being a play maker but not what I expect of him.

I also thought Sam Bradford would get sacked into a coma his rookie year and be a constant injury magnet his entire career. Proved out to be tougher than I thought.

Duke Robinson, loved the pick

thought he had a chance to be a day 1 starter but definitely by year two he's starting and a stud at that

f**k me

thought Duke would be alright but figured he dropped for a reason

I'll one up you on that though.

Thought Bernadeau would be a stud.

    • Poor kid. Here's hoping he someday gets a chance. In the meantime, someone else will be getting an opportunity and hopefully they can make the most of it.  
    • This is it. The Panthers don't have the draft picks or salary cap to approach the offseason position-by-position. That's for teams much further along. They'll have to address "mission areas" rather than individuals, and they'll need to be creative rather than taking a linear approach. I'd add "improve the pass rush: as 1B with "improving the run defense" as 1A. Trying to upgrade every weak position is just not feasible. It'll take 2 or 3 great drafts. For instance, a guy like Luvu that can play the run and rush the QB would be huge in both areas. A fix? No. But a definite improvement. We're focused on a WR1, when a guy like CMC would provide a playmaking option that defenses will have to account for in the passing and running game. And I think an explosive playmaker is more important than adding another guy that can catch the ball in traffic. We have that in spades. Can't solve this riddle in one offseason without taking away from current areas of strength. It's a puzzle that won't be easy to solve. And they'll need to be future focused while being current competent.  My opinions/approach: I'm thinking the focus should be on defensive players that are good at both the run and pass pressure rather than specialists. A stout run-stopping OLB that can also pressure the QB is the better option for the Panthers right now, rather than a sack specialist. We had a pure pass rusher with Burns. Teams just ran the ball at him and took him out of games. A DT that can consistently get in the backfield and disrupt plays rather than a run stuffing NT is probably a better option for the Panthers right now too - Mason Graham. That addresses both the pass and run. Neither of these players would have great numbers, but they'd improve the defense and force offenses to scheme rather than just impose their will. That's when we'll see what Evero is really about. A later round speed WR that forces defenses to keep a safety over the top would really open up the offense - a Ted Ginn Jr type. Maybe a true pass receiving RB that can make guys miss in the open field. These guys aren't usually conventional early round draft picks but they'll improve the team in mission areas rather than focus areas.
