Let's say Bradford, Suh and McCoy were in this draft class....

I was pondering this earlier today amidst all of the frustration at what to do with our #1 pick. So, all things are the same for our team (current roster, needs, position, etc.). Just add Bradford, Suh and McCoy to this class as if they were coming out of college. Knowing our gaping hole at DT, young inexperienced quarterback, 3 wide receivers that we took last year, etc. who would you take at #1 overall. Would you add Sam Bradford? Would you lock in the anchor that is Ndamukong Suh? Maybe Gerald McCoy? AJ Green still? Nick Fairley still warrant the #1 overall? Is Peterson still in the mix at CB/S?

Thoughts?

Take Bradford or Suh, that would really be a tossup imo. Suh is that good....

Easier to see Suh will be great than to say the same for Bradford.. QB is a bigger need though..

I guess you'd have to go with Bradford based on need.. our defense is good, this big gaping hole at DT doesn't change that and there are options in FA.. all of that should cancel out drafting a DT..

Bradford has a chance to be a really good QB for years to come.

Suh has the abilities to become the greatest DT ever.

I would take Suh in a heartbeat over Bradford. Suh, Landri, Johnson, and Hardy would be a NIGHTMARE front 4. Especially if you could nab up a better FA DT. Landri though was pretty good and next to Suh could be a pretty decent DT.

With the #1 overall, I would want the guy that has a chance to be the GOAT at his position, not the guy that could be pretty good in a few years.

here's the thing, you don't have to have the greatest DT ever to have at top defense.. you can do well by FA..

you have to have a top QB regardless...

This question really points out a lot on how people think... you can get that DT, but you're still stuck.. not so if you grab that QB..

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
