Way, way, way too early, but someone has put one together.

2. Carolina Panthers

Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU : In NFL history there has never been a cornerback selected this high. Several have been chosen third overall -- most recently in 1997, when the Seahawks took Ohio State's Shawn Springs. Peterson comes in as highly touted as any cornerback since Springs. With the NFL becoming more and more reliant on the passing game, a cornerback who can shut down half of the field like Peterson is more valuable than ever.

food for thought.

I want to address QB but passing on either Peterson or Green would be hard. If we have a coach that is drafting based on BPA then you take Peterson. If we have a coach drafting based on need you take Green. If we have the #1 pick...you take Luck. This is how I see our big board based on a mix of BPA and need:

#1 - Luck

#2 - Peterson

#3 - Green

#4 - Locker

#5 - Dareus (even though I will HATE this pick and would rather trade out)

#6 - Ingram (take BPA and don't worry about signing Deangelo to another contract)

#7 - Amukamara

#8 - Quinn (again...hate the pick b/c I think he's overrated after not playing in 2010)

#9 - Julio Jones

#10 -Ryan Mallett

The good thing for us is that I don't think there is a chance in hell that we are drafting any lower than #5. So, depending on what teams are valuing in the draft we could have a shot at Peterson who would be a steal at #5.

The "value board" could change real quick if Matt Moore starts sucking again (like I think he will). It could shoot Mallett into the top 5 with Luck, Peterson, Green, and Locker.

Top-two pick and Luck stays in school? DaQuan Bowers please.

DaQuan Bowers with a top 2 pick?? I hope you are being sarcastic. He's a top 25 player but not a top 10 or top 5 player at 6'4'' 280. DEs his size are a dime a dozen in the first round...

Quinn, Clayborn, Heyward, Bailey...

Any of those guys are probably going to end up being just as good as Bowers. IMO to drat a DE in the top 5 they better be 6'6'' and upwards of 290 coming out and be freak athletes (Peppers and Williams). If you hit on a guy like Tuck, Osi, or Freeney somewhere else in the draft then count your blessings but there is no way I take a risk on a guy who is solely a pass rusher in the top 5 picks. That is one reason I don't like Quinn as much as a lot of people. You could get a Lamarr Woodley later in the draft and not risk taking a Vernon Gholston in the top 5...

Nice post I pretty much agree with this 100% except for the Ingram pick. I would hate to pick Ingram unless I knew we were going to spend the DWill contract money on someone like Vincent Jackson or Richard Seymour.

Bowers is a great athlete, has the numbers this year to match, and he also plays one of the most important positions on defense in a passing league. Considering all those things, I really don't see how being 6'4, 280 is somehow too small to be worth a top pick especially if youre potentially an elite pass rusher, and especially in this draft which is weak overall. And I definitely prefer Bowers over Clayborn, who is overrated, Heyward and Bailey who are both defensive tackles in a 4-3 or 3-4 ends, and a guy who hasn't played this year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
