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... :(

      Moton is the man through and through. 2 things I'll always give Gettleman credit for, 1 is drafting Moton, the other is building a SB contending roster and blowing it up in one off-season

      Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…   I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press 😂).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.😂
