Panthers own the 47th pick in the NFL Draft

[Dpantherman]

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Carolina Panthers will have the 47th pick in the second round of the NFL draft by virtue of an early-morning coin flip with the Tennessee Titans.

Panthers general manager Marty Hurney lost the coin flip with the Titans, but that affected Carolina's first-round selection, which was traded to San Francisco last year. As a result of the flip, the Titans will pick 16th and the 49ers 17th.

The draft order is reversed in subsequent rounds, meaning the Panthers (47th) will pick ahead of the Titans' selection (48th), in Round 2, which Tennessee already has dealt to New England.

Bottom line: It actually helped Carolina to lose the coin flip.

#17 area. It is actually a good place to draft. You still get high quality players, without top 10 money.

Otah, Flacco, Maclin, Alex Mack, Brian Cushing, Revis, Lawrence Timmons were all taken within a few picks +/- of the 17th pick.

[Phil Dees]

I don't think he meant EXACTLY the 17th pick. He meant it was a good area. Top 5 picks are too expensive.

Unless they pick a 1st round bust and Everette Brown has a couple of sacks in the 49ers/Panthers game...
