2011 NFL draft revisited, would you take JJ Watt over Cam?

I was reading the 2011 CBS remock and both of the writers had JJ Watt going first overall. Cam slipped to 2nd and 3rd in the redrafts, btw.

Knowing what we know now, would you still take Cam over JJ Watt, who is quickly becoming the best pass rusher the league has ever seen? If you spent this offseason shitposting about "BPA! BPA!" would you still think that Cam is BPA over JJ?

 

Oh yeah and please don't turn this into yet another "CAM HATER!!" witch hunt/circlejerk please, you have a bunch of other threads to valiantly defend a million dollar athlete against the legion of evil sports writers who are probably saints and cowboys fans.

Tempting, but if you take Watt over Cam the Panthers essentially become what the Texans are now: dominant defense with no QB stuck in mediocrity because of Brees in New Orleans and Ryan in Atlanta who would far outperform whatever we managed to pick off the scrap heap.

The defense would be too good to tank for Luck or RG3 the next year but maybe we pick Tannehill which then leaves another generational talent Kuechly on the board.

There's still an element of need when it comes to BPA so I doubt DG would have passed him up. If Hurney saw the talent was there I'm sure DG would have as well.

Look at it this way in a redraft with the two first rounders and the one second rounder from 2011 and 2012:

 

Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly

 

or

 

JJ Watt and Andrew Luck 

 

or 

 

JJ Watt, Luke Kuechly, and Russell Wilson

 

3 options to find that QB.

Fun fact, if you reverse our first round draft orders for 2011 and 2012, we could have picked JJ Watt and Luck instead of Cam and Luke.

I think the results would have been the same to this point. Luck would have had as much success as Cam. however, Cam has the higher ceiling if he can solve his accuracy issues.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
