For What It's Worth....

For what it's worth, which ain't much, I've been doing my annual pre-Draft routine and research, and have come up with what I believe the Panthers will do this April... I'm not sure who I feel the Panthers will select would be my first choice, but I also believe if they go this direction it's because they believe in what they've learned through their private workouts and interviews... All of the usual suspects come with a fair amount of positives and negatives, and can be debated to death (as I'm sure they will be by April, if not already)... You can easily make a case for any of Fairley, Bowers, Peterson, Green, Newton, etc... You can easily make a case for trading down... Again, though, I'm not saying this is what I would personally do if I was the one who made the decision, I am saying that right now, if the pick were made today, this is what I believe it would be... And in the end, regardless of who the Panthers select, this team has enough holes that almost any of the top prospects fit in one way or another... The only thing is, they'd better not miss... They miss on this one, and it's entirely possible they get a chance to 'do over' next year... Hit on this pick and you're respectable... Miss on it, and you're Oakland...

That said, enjoy the debate Panther fans... With the first pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select: Quarterback from Missouri, Blaine Gabbert

I wouldn't complain if they drafted Gabbert. I just wish I had seen him play more because my last memory of him was that boneheaded INT he threw in the bowl game, which left a bad taste in my mouth. He does have a very quick release, and they said he did very well on the chalk board, so he is definitely a possibility.

Agreed... I like his size/speed ratio... His intangibles are fantastic... He has excellent arm strength... There's quite a bit to like about him as a prospect... There are quite a few concerns I'd like to have addressed, of course... Glad that's not my decision to make... Or rather, glad my ass isn't the one on the line if we take him and he busts...

I still prefer Green, because I feel like we're going to be losing Steve Smith soon but I also understand that going in with a purely green receiving corps is recipe for a disaster.

I like Peterson a lot - he would basically solidify our secondary enormously.

Dareus I don't know enough about, but I understand the need at DT. It's just such an unsexy position to draft I have trouble getting into it... but I would certainly be happy if we did fill that need.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
