With the 1st pick in the 2011 NFL Draft Carolina Panthers Select....

With out question we should be picking at minimum in the top 3. What position or player would you take?

Currently I would look at these 4 in no particular order. Green being the sexy pick and Peterson being the one I hope they make but hate the idea of paying a CB that kind of money.

Bowers DE Clemson

Amukamara CB Nebraska

Green WR Georgia

Peterson CB LSU

CB is really deep. I can see us trading down a couple times and still getting a very good starter there.

My best case scenario...

#1 overall pick, sell Luck to the Bills for the #2 and #34 overall picks.

Trade down again to the 7-10 range and get another 2nd.

1) Prince Amukamara CB

2A) Ryan Broyles, WR

2B) Mike Pouncey, OG

Only in a perfect world. Why would Buffalo give up that much just for Luck? QB is pretty deep.

Alot of people have a huge gap in talent between Luck and their #2 QB (being either Locker or Mallett depending on who you talk to). If you look at the QB prospects as being a Peyton Manning/Ryan Leaf situation then it's really not out of the question. Sell the idea that you will draft Luck yourself or trade down to someone else who will and the Bills would have to trade up if they want him.

Honestly, I think the most unlikely trade in my scenario would be trading down the 2nd time after Luck is off the board, even though you're trading down more spots for the same price.

Like you said though, this is all pretty much perfect world/dream scenario type stuff.

It all depends on who we hire as coach, and if Hurney is still here. Hurney will not draft a QB. If Hurney isn't here, then Luck is ours, and Jimmy is trade bait.

All depends on who has the first. Has anyone noticed Ricky Stanzi? He has looked better than both Locker and Mallet.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
