Well guys, Julius Peppers didn't get traded. I was wrong. I thought that he would be gone, but for some reason John Fox thought differently of it. No matter, we still have a draft to do.

The 1st day of the draft was pretty nutty, from its mood right now to the selection of the players. Depending on how you look at it, the Panthers may or may not have participated right along with the kookieness of the draft, you will have to look upon it and judge it yourself.




The Panthers traded away their 1st round draft pick in 2010 in order to pick up Everette Brown at pick #43, a defensive end from Florida State. The Panthers will also receive another pick in the 4th round. Whether or not you like this pick, it fills an obvious need the Panthers have in the D-Line. It gives the Panthers another good guy to pair up beside Julius Peppers, and hopefully he can contribute a good amount of plays with Julius Peppers taking all the double teams.

The question is this: Was it worth it?

There were many teams that ranked Everette Brown in the first round, as well as countless mock drafts. He's a fast, speedy defensive end with plenty of room for additional athletic growth. When you think of Brown, think of the Indianapolis Colt's Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis and you'll have a good image of how he will play. We'll have to wait till training camp to see whether he has the talent to start as a rookie, but he's going to have to play like a 1st round pick if he's going to placate the Panther fans from getting pissed this time next year.
