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... :(

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
