Is anyone else out there pissed off that the Panthers have the #1 pick in arguably one of the worst drafts in recent memory?? Other than that Jamarcus Russell draft I can't remember one that has been much worse. I mean Nick Fairley and DaQuan Bowers as the best overall prospects? Those of you predicting Fairley to be the next Warren Sapp and Bowers to be the next Mario Williams need to go back and watch some film and also look at the size of these two guys.

How much better of a player is Bowers than Gaines Adams was when he came out? How much better is Fairley than Glenn Dorsey or Sedrick Ellis?? These were guys drafted really recently at the top that have essentially turned out to be decent players but not anything special.

If you are drafting #1 overall the you better get a player that is going to change your franchise. You better either get a QB that is a franchise player or a player at a different position that is going to change the game for your team and win you games. IMO neither Fairley nor Bowers are of that caliber. AJ Green is the only player that IMO you could look back on in a few years and wonder how he didn't go #1. I'm not saying that is a reason to draft him....but IMO he is the only can't miss eventual superstar player at the top of the draft.

I am beginning to agree with all the A.J. Green talk. Although I don't believe we need him. I think he's the best player available and the one player in the top 5 rankings of prospects with the most upside outside of Gabbert who is nothing but upside.

As far as Gabbert goes, yes we need a franchise QB, but this guy is all hype. He has the exact same pros and cons as Cam Newton, but he's white, he's not a national champion, and he's not a Heisman winner. So there's no reason to draft a qb in the first round they all suck.

I'm pretty sure we are going to be bringing in a vet qb, so that will give Pickles a chance to sit back and watch, and A.J. Green and our young guys from last year will have someone to get them the ball and help them develope.

I'm honestly hoping someone gets so enamored with one of those guys (most likely to be Bowers, actually... based on measurables and ability) that they'll convince us to trade down a little...

If we don't move down, the safest pick is still Green, to me... he has the most limited bust potential of the three of them, and even if you include Peterson...

There are no sure-things in any draft, so it is always going to be a risk/reward scenario, and the best bet is to go with the least risk...

It'd be great to somehow snag one from Green, Bowers, Fairley, or Peterson, and then somehow also get someone like Kyle Rudolph (this coming from a major opponent of drafting a TE all these years) or a top RG prospect in the beginnings of the second round by trading down...

      A 12 year old playing madden can draft better than anyone the panthers have had under David Tepper

      A lookback at Morgan's first draft

      Throw in the fact that you have to overpay free agents to come here.  Everyone wants to win--or at least have a decent chance at winning. This followed the Bryce Young trade up draft.  That is the draft that crippled an already crippled franchise.   They moved up to #1 and paid the king's ransom only to admit that they weren't sure who they were going to draft--then they picked the wrong guy....amazing incompetence. Now let's take a look at the AT trade--we basically got some future mid round draft capital.  Minnesota has a QB on their roster who reads quickly, is accurate, and is only 24.  (Brosmer).  Minnesota is keeping him on the roster because on the PS, they would lose him.  Is he the answer if we traded AT for him?  Maybe not, but there is potential--as much potential as you will find on day 3 of the draft.  He would be, at worst, the best backup QB on the roster.  Now, did we give Dalton a ton because he has a good relationship with Young?  What if Young does not work out?   Then you have 2 mistakes and no QB. I dunno--I believe in competition, and I believe there should always be efforts to improve the roster--are we trying to make ourselves not look inept?  With Baker and Darnold leaving Charlotte for successful turnarounds, are we capable of having a good QB?   Cam was natural ability and he had the Alpha gene, and we drove him into the ground.
