Dark Horse For Panthers #1: Von Miller?

Article about Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller going #1 to the Panthers

I don't know how anyone else feels about this kid, but to me he seems like the kind of guy that the front office would want to add to the roster. He seems to have his head in the right place, and when combined with his excellence on the field, he would be a perfect fit in Carolina. But, as we all know, college awards and great stats don't necessarily translate to NFL success, regardless of how highly regarded the player was in college (history provides us with plenty of examples). However, Miller appethears to have the talent required to succeed at the professional level, and his measurables (6'3”, 246 lbs.) are difficult to ignore.

I think this would probably be the safest pick at #1. Linebackers have had instant rookie success on a regular basis. Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews come to mind. Wouldn't be against the pick, but they'd better do something at QB some other way, because when you draft #1, it's usually because you don't have a QB.

the #1 reason why the Panthers won't draft Von Miller is because if they do draft him, they will not have solved any problems on their team. he is going to be very good for some team in the top 10, maybe top 5. i think he's a legit stud LB for a long time if he stays healthy.

As "ridiculous" as it is to spend #1 overall on a CB, it's doubly so for a LB in a 4-3. If we were running a 3-4 then I could see it, since he'd be considered a pass rusher rather than just a LB. At least CB can shut down half the field. He's a great athlete, but I think a team that can better utilize his talents will take him in the next few picks after us.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
