What fans thought would be a boring day one of the NFL draft turned into one that potentially could help transform the face of the team for years to come.
Most fans in the Carolinas don't know Martin. He played collegiately at Troy University, a school in Alabama that's produced such players as Leodis McKelvin, DeMarcus Ware and Osi Umenyiora in recent drafts.
Sometimes when High School ends, people aren't ready to face the world. Georgia defensive tackle Corvey Irvin was one of those people.
It all started when the Panthers released do-it-all back Nick Goings a few weeks ago.
The Panthers took a big step on Sunday drafting fullback Tony Fiammetta from Syracuse, who was widely regarded as the top fullback available in this years' draft. Fiammetta, a powerful run blocker, should fit right in here in Carolina.

WCNC Sports Director Greg Bailey sat down with Bobcats forward Sean May recently and discussed May's situation and the way that the fans perceive him. For the first time, we heard May's side about his comeback from microfracture surgery.
What if Hurney, Fox and Pepper's people all sat down before last season, when they were negotiating and conceived a plan in which the Panthers, knowing Peppers would NOT be resigning with them, made a last ditch effort to win the Super Bowl with him in 2008.
Every year there is turnover. This year the Panthers could part ways with a homegrown star and a few other players.
Where is Peppers headed? The recent news of Julius Peppers wanting to play elsewhere hit the Panthers fans like a ton of bricks. One of the most popular players in Panthers history, Peppers won't easily be replaced.
Not a Pro Bowler? No problem. DeAngelo Williams couldn't care less. He's got his eyes on a bigger prize. And while he won't admit it -- he's modest like that -- he should be considered for the NFL's MVP.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but Indiana Jones has finally been conquered — by a roly-poly panda. I thought Harrison Ford's newest flick would be the blockbuster to beat this summer. Turns out I was wrong.
On the evening of March 21, if you were one of the people who came to The Blue Vine to enjoy Two Man Gentlemen Band, then you remember who stole the show: Pokey LaFarge.
