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.

    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit. 
    • Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
