How upset were you with the Panthers 1st round pick?

[kungfoodude]

This will be interesting to compare to the pre-draft poll.

[Mr. Scot]

There were people who were upset?

[LinvilleGorge]

I would've preferred to trade down but I'm not upset at the pick. I don't know that Ekwonu will be the best OL out of this draft but I think he was the safest. Worst case scenario, I think he's a damn good guard. No, that's not what you want at #6 but it sure beats a bust of an OT who can't kick inside.

[Jon Snow]

Upset? If they were they know nothing about how this game is played.

[AggieLean]

I wanted to be. I wanted a QB, but in the end, it was a smart move and probably the right move. 
 

I also wanted to trade down.

TBD

I did this as a Huddle temp check prior to the draft.

Did you use a rectal thermometer?

I hope he is the LT of the future for us but I agree that his floor SHOULD still be an elite OG. It's nice to have that.

This is going about how I expected it to.

not many but I thought I saw some people upset "we took a guard" that high. I completely disagree but there were non-Panthers analysts out there pre-draft who thought Ekwonu fit better as a guard. That's the only real concern I could possibly imagine regarding this pick.

 

Or those who desperately wanted one of these (bad) QBs...

[mav1234]

Not upset at all.

Was interesting to see how the draft shook out after all the speculation about multiple QBs going *before* we picked, haha.

QB is still our biggest need but its not like I trust this shitshow of a coach to be capable of developing one, so I'm glad we got an OT that could in theory anchor the left side for a decade to come.

You don't want one of these QB's as anything but a #2 anyway.

I don't know, I still think Pickett is probably much better than a #2, I just don't think he's someone that really carries a team. I don't see him as ever in the conversation for one of the top 5 guys in the league - and that is the kind of player I wanted as our QB. One thing I'll say... he did hit probably one of the best possible places to fall, all things considered. 

Willis, I really liked his potential, but... well, surprise, I'm not an NFL talent evaluator for a reason, lol.
