Why does ESPN make you pay to read half their articles...it's ridiculous. Anyways, does anyone have insider, Mel kiper had his four round prediction of what each team will do and I was curious as to what he says about the panthers.

Also, isn't it crazy how different people view different prospects? NFL.com has Desmond briscoe listed as the number 3 WR prospect...ahead of demaryius Thomas, golden Tate, and Damian Williams. Most other websites have him listed as a 5-6 round prospect at best.

Carolina Panthers

Top needs: WR, DT, LB, DE, QB

First round: No first-round picks

Second-round (48): DL Tyson Alualu

Third-round (78): QB Dan LeFevour

Fourth-round (112): TE Garrett Graham

Summary: I don't want to bring up again why the Panthers aren't drafting until Round 2 ... anyway. What I like about Alualu is the versatility. He can be a penetrating tackle in a 4-3 scheme (a 5-technique), or become a 3-4 defensive end. He sheds blocks well and gets into the backfield with regularity. LeFevour is a quarterback who I think will need work in dealing with the small windows and timing of the NFL, but he has the athleticism and the arm. He's a guy worth developing. Graham caught a lot of passes at Wisconsin.

No way the Panther ignore WR. Poor job by Mel.

I actually wouldn't be shocked if we didn't address WR till round 6. I know sounds crazy; but a couple of years ago, everyone knew we needed safety help; and we didn't look at safety till like round 5 or 6.

If some guys that Hurney and Fox like get picked early; they'll pick someone who's higher on their board. Regardless of position.

Wasn't it just a couple of seasons ago that defensive tackle was easily the biggest weak spot on the team and we didn't select one until the 6th round and Nick Hayden?

It wouldn't surprise me one iota if we don't go WR in the 2nd and it shouldn't surprise anybody that's been following this team for a long time either.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
