Why and how the Panthers should draft Ndamukong Suh

Okay hear me out.

IMO Suh the most special player to have come out of the draft since, well, Julius Peppers. So, if Peppers is going to leave in the offseason, pick up a guy that could actually be better than him.

Heres out it could happen.

The Panthers trade Peppers to the Broncos for their 1st round pick they got from Chicago. The Bears are currently setting somewhere between the number 7 and 10 spot in the draft. But looking ahead to the schedule they could end up being as high as 6th spot. Anything higher would be highly unlikely to impossible.

For the sack of this argument, lets say they do get the 6th spot. Denver then aquires that pick via the Cutler trade and then trades it to Carolina for Peppers. Now Carolina is sitting with the #6 pick in the draft.

As for the #1 pick, currently that is being held by St. Louis with only 1 win. Detriot and Tampa are at 2 and 3 with only 2 wins. Worst case senerio would be Tampa getting the #1 pick because you can forget about trading with them but Detriot and St. Louis, both having picked in the top 10 for several years now, would probably be very willing to at least listen to trade offers. And considering that the contracts for this years draft class will be astromonically high due to fears of a rookie cap in 2011 some teams will actually be looking to trade down more so than ever and subsejuntely other teams will take advantage of the situation.

The Panthers could be that team. The big question would be how much would they have to give up to move up 5 spots. I think the #6 pick along with a 3rd this year and maybe a 3rd next year might get it done. And don't forget the Panthers are looking at picking up two additional 3rd round picks for compusation for Hangartner and Omiyale.

I'm know I'm dreaming here but I really like Suh and think he would be worth it in the long run.

Thoughts?

Yes and thus the reason for trading to the #1 pick to get him.

And Delhommy I usually agree but I this isn't a dumb idea just highly unlikely and a wishful thought on my part.

Hell, no playoffs and currently no 1st round pick. All thats let is wishful thinking...

berry won't go 1st overall. suh will

Sorry, thread confusion... my post was in reference to the one quoted above yours... not the one about Berry. I don't even know who he is... :(

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
