How many players that you wanted...

TD, Gamble, Otah, Fua, Colbert (shh)

I'll be honest and say I didn't see DeAngelo coming. I remember the drumbeat being quite big and annoying for Lawrence Maroney lmfao

I thought Beason was a stud but for some reason (I can't remember) that pick surprised me. There must have been a few other names people were screamin' for that year.

Julius Peppers and Dwayne Jarrett.

2003: I wanted Byron Leftwich over Jordan Gross

2004: There is nothing I wanted more then the Panthers staying at 31 and drafting Ben Troupe instead of trading up and getting Gamble.

2005: I was praying Troy Williamson would drop to us. Then I felt sick to my stomach when we drafted Thomas Davis over Derrick Johnson.

2006: I thought LenDale White was the PERFECT compliment to DeAngelo Williams.

2007: Could not have been more pissed the Panthers traded down when they had the perfect opportunity to draft Reggie Nelson or Brandon Merriweather. I hated the Beason pick.

2008: Wanted Ryan Clady over Jonathan Stewart and Mendenhall over Otah. I still believe that would have happened if Broncos didn't take Clady right before us.

2009: Was very excited and was convinced we were going to draft Jarron Gilbert.

2010: Did not want Clausen and was extremely high on Taylor Price. Was pissed we did not draft him in the second.

2011: I was for everyone but Cam. Could not decide between PP7 and AJ Green.

Looking back to all the drafts since Julius, I could not have been more off. Thank god I am not in control of the draft because I have been off literally every year. This year I am high on both Morris Claiborne and Janoris Jenkins, which probably means we should stay away from both.

This is hillarious because it sounds exactly like me. I remember wanting Rashaun Woods soooo bad and then SF took him and I was pissed. Just like you, it's a good thing I'm not running things because I am a complete mush at draft wishes.

Cam, DeAngelo and Dwayne Jarrett

Hated the Beason and TD picks. Go much further back than this and I was too young to know much about the draft.

2006: I thought LenDale White was the PERFECT compliment to DeAngelo Williams.

This was the year we selected DeAngelo. Most people thought LenDale was the perfect compliment to Deshaun Foster and that DeAngelo was too similar to Foster to select.

This is a great thread. As others have said, I feel very similar to NJPanthers12's post.

How good does it feel when the Panthers actually pick the player you want so bad?

My Happy Picks/Calls (When the player I wanted more than any others came to us; judging by how I felt at the time):

2002 Julius Peppers

2003 Jordan Gross

2004 Chris Gamble

2006 DeAngelo Williams

2011 Cam Newton

Unhappy Picks/Calls:

1998 Jason Peter

2000 Rashard Anderson

2005 Thomas Davis over Derrick Johnson (ugh!)

2006 Richard Marshall over Leonard Pope (I was so mad when Hester went one pick before Marshall)

2007 Jon Beason over Greg Olsen (so mad, but as I have said before on here, I am happy to have Olsen eventually get to us)

2009 Everette Brown over standing pat (I could not figure out this pick for anything--I thought we were unexpectedly trying to go to a 3-4)

2010 Jimmy Clausen over anyone else (I hated him in high school, at Notre Dame, and always thought he would be a bust)

Others:

1995 I didn't follow the draft that year

1996 I liked Biakabutuka and Muhammad

1997 I thought Rae Carruth had talent

1999 Felt good about

2001 Pretty happy, especially with Morgan once I figured out more about him

2009 I was pretty happy with that draft, although I didn't have favoritism for either player
