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.

    • I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though   
    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
