There's a lot of people saying picking number one doesn't mean much...

I only have one name to say in relation to this argument, and if it wasn't for him a franchise would have been stuck in mediocrity with Blaine Gabbert.

#1 overall pick, 2011 NFL draft- Cam Newton

Sometimes the tank is worth it in order to have the choice of the guy you want. Poo me all you want on this post, but I'm sorry that I don't want to watch another failed retread get us to 5 wins again next year with no hope in the next year either.

We are pretty clearly taking a QB no matter where we pick in round 1.  If we win enough that we're around 8-15, then I see us trading up to get one.  Simple as that.  There's as of now, 3 (maybe 4) high first round QBs so I'm not going to waste the time getting frustrated if we're sitting at 1 one week, 4 the next, etc.

Not true, they could have taken Von Miller AJ Green plenty of others that QB class was super weak after Cam.....

 

This team has never truly escaped mediocrity no back to back winning seasons and no super bowl championships.

There's 4 QBs in this draft I would be good with. 

The cam Newton year, he was the only one (I mean after luck reconsidered). I wanted nothing to do with yo Gabba gabbert at any point in that season. It was cam or nothing.

That's not the case this year.

i agree. people who say the number 1 pick doesnt matter are not very knowledgeable of the game. having your pick of the litter could be the difference between like u said cam or blaine.. or payton manning and ryan leaf... Get your guy first and not pick off the leftovers.

I wonder if the Bears felt the same way about Trubisky or the Browns about Baker....

So I assume you want to lose out so we can get that "Franchise QB" that we are so longing for?

The hell with playing to win, working hard to get better.  It's all about that mystic Super Bowl winning QB.

I want a QB that can be a 10 to 15 year starter as much as you but, I cannot support nor believe a franchise, Carolina or anyone else tanking for a draft pick.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
