If you were GM, how would you use our that first pick in round 2?

[Samppson]

The notion that free agents wont come to Carolina, or any other not so ideal place is just never true. Sure, you probably aren't getting the aging vet looking for one last chance at a ring, but in almost all cases, the free agent signs where the money is best, regardless. Obviously they compare two situations if the money is the same, but these guys have short careers, they will go where the money is.

we need interior lineman. center too. bozeman is below average nowadays. 

[Mr. Scot]

Ask the owner who he thinks we should pick and then take someone else

[Panthers Fan 69]

This team needs help ar every position. Also, winning teams are built for ten trenches out. Prob a good place to start. 

[Bear Hands]

This is a situation where we could use an upgrade at every position sans safety. But playmakers are key and we need the best playmaker available  whoever that is. Troy Franklin, whoever.

[AceMan]

I think it has to be a WR or OL. We sorta HAVE to push everything towards offense this upcoming offseason to make Bryce Young work...

[electro's horse]

Trade down for another first in 2025

[DJ feed me moore]

I think bryce is a bust too but we cant take a QB next year...

[PanthersGTI]

I don't know how realistic it is but QB if our team has one ranked as a starter/potential franchise guy. If not it has to be the best linemen available O preferably but D would work too. Build the lines and things will start to fall into place. 

A good question would be : If there is a top ranked QB the team thinks is the guy that falls to late 1st round do you dare move up? 

 

Note : This is all under the assumption that I/We are comfortable with the decision makers next year ( Lets just say Ben Johnson and the GM from the 49ers ).

Well, it's going to depend, a lot!  Total cop out right?

Were I the GM, I would be looking for an OL that matches the scheme of the offense we're playing.  Need more dancing bears?  More boulders?  If the OL was a poor value I'd look for a separation specialist WR.  Maybe they are an average athlete, but all they did was produce in college and schooled folks at all star/bowl games?  Sign me up!

If that doesn't workout value wise, I'd look on the defensive side of the ball.  Edge and DBs are massive needs.  Heck, if there's a true nose tackle, I'd go for that guy too (again, matching what our DC is doing).

So yeah - the Panthers should have a multitude of options.  And of course folks will covet that spot so I could totally see use trading out for more picks.

If he's there, Emeka Egbuka would be my current pick. Of course I haven't really studied the prospects.

[catnip]

Draft o-line   and look at  Sam Hartman in a late round   .  He is  the qb at Notre Dame in a pro style system

I think injuries might just gift him to Carolina.
