Your Ideal Draft

What direction would go with the draft this year? I feel there's a few different routes, depending on what happens this offseason. I doubt the Panthers front office will follow this direction, but hey, its nice to dream.

Let's say that all starters are retained(except Vincent) and Delhomme retires. :rolleyes:

Rd.1 - Traded to SF

Rd.2 - Golden Tate/WR/Notre Dame

He may have to slip a few picks, but with WRs, you never know. Think of the 2008 draft. He's a lot like Steve Smith, he even contains the same passion.

Rd.3 - Tyson Alualu/DL/Cal

Great against the run and although he is not a developed pass rusher, could see some time in our rotation as a rookie in the case of an injury. Primarily a DT but he can also slide out to DE.

Rd.4 - Ted Larsen/OL/North Carolina State

He's a sleeper in this draft and would provide a solid backup behind Ryan Khalil that we dont have currently. He also has experience playing guard.

Rd.5 - Traded to KC

Rd.6 - John Jerry/OL/Mississippi

Just a monstrous linemen who has good potential as a run-blocker. He is on the slow side, but can occupy multiple defenders at the LOS.

Rd.7 - Tim Hiller/QB/Western Michigan

I refer you to: http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/carolina-panthers/27024-late-round-ufa-qb-options.html

Just to back up Matt Moore.

Let's see yours...

Rd 2: Ndamukong Suh DT

Rd 3: Jimmy Clausen QB

Rd 4: Eric Berry S

Rd 5: Dez Bryant WR

Rd 6: Rolando McClain LB

Rd 7: Joe Haden CB

My ideal draft.

(I'll update with a serious one later lol)

Talk about a DREAM draft (Would be mine as well). Every guy there is going round 1.

Rd 2: Brian Price DT (UCLA): We need a 3 tech that can bring interior pressure. He is in my opinion second only to Suh (which I wouldn't pay that much for him anyway).

Rd 3: John Skelton QB (Fordham): Huge frame and arm (think Flacco) and has improved every year he has been at Fordham. I like to see that out of any QB that I consider to be draftable.

Rd 4: Riley Cooper: Everytime I see this guy play he impresses me. He is one of the best blocking WR in the draft. He has deceptive speed and has a solid set of hands.

Rd 6: Legarrette Blount RB (OU): IMO as far as talent he is one of the best in the draft. He is a load to bring down at 6'2" 240 lbs and has a lot of the same playmaking that made Stewart so successful at OSU. I think he actually would be better in our O then Stew (he is a more powerful runner). He has character issues but at this point in the draft the risk is worth it. This is assuming either Stew or Dwill get traded (Stew most likely).

Rd 7: Aaron Webster SS (Cin): This guy is one of the most underrated players in football. He has great size 6'2" 215 and he uses that size very well in the running game. He is also very good in coverage which is where we need help at the SS positon. They lost every single player in there secondary to the NFL this year (except him) and they still went undefeated in the reg season thats saying something.

Any chance The Golden Calf of Bristol lasts until our pick in the second round? I know about the Heisman jinx, but danm he was nearly flawless last night and you can't argue with the kid's college record. I really want DL in the second, but if The Golden Calf of Bristol is still there I think we'd be stupid not to take the kid.

Cooper is not projected to go until the 5th-7th round.

      You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold

      Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
