Rich Eisen, Michael Lombardi, Steve Wyche, and Simon Wilcotts discuss the Panthers' first pick.

Wilcotts loses ALL credibility when they are discussing the 08 Falcons going out and getting Matt Ryan by saying that rebuilding team had WAY more talent than the current Panthers. If nothing else, let's go back and look at how many Falcons were in the 07 Pro Bowl: 2 - Alge Crumpler and Deangelo Hall. Panthers: 3. What good players did the Falcons have that just didn't make the Pro Bowl that year? I would count Joe Horn (WAY past his prime), Warrick Dunn (at the end of his prime), John Abraham (on and off, sometimes a top 10 DE, sometimes nobody), Keith Brooking (solid LB), Lawyer Milloy (good safety, by 07 on the down slope of his career), Ovie Mughelli and Morten Anderson. They did have some young guys who weren't really good yet but are now at least kinda good: Roddy White, Tyson Clabo, Brent Grimes.

That group can't touch the talent level we have in Deangelo, Stewart, Gross, Kalil, Smitty, Beason, TD (when healthy), James Anderson, Johnson, Gamble, Godfrey not to mention our young guys could that fit the same argument as White/Clabo/Grimes: Goodson, Gettis, Lafell, Martin, maybe Fiametta, maybe Otah, maybe Schwartz judging by that recent article.

Well, that's my little tirade against Simon Wilcotts. Idiot.

IMO with the threat of a lockout and shortened season, Patrick Peterson should be the clear choice, with Dareus a close to mid second choice. If Hurney's philosophy is BPA, Peterson is the closest to a sure-fire prospect as we can get in the 1st round. Check out this article from Brian Baldinger @ nfl.com:

http://blogs.nfl.com/2011/03/10/baldinger-mock-top-10-peterson-is-the-pick/?module=HP_spotlight

For all of his athleticism and star power, Cam Newton is still a project that will take 1-2 years to develop. Likewise, Blaine Gabbert is an unknown pending his his pro day workout next week and will take time to develop. We currently have no veteran QB as a potential starter/mentor for any of these young quarterbacks whether on the roster or coming via the draft. Considering these circumstance and having such a high pick, the Panthers can not afford to pass up a player that could be a potential impact player right off the bat as I believe Peterson will. The theory of not picking a top-caliber CB within the top 5 is just that - a theory and is not a good reason based on status quo. The Panthers are going to have a lot to consider before the April draft.

None of these people have actually studied the Panthers. When they're talking about Panthers DE's, they act as if Nick Hardy doesn't even exist, but I believe most of us feel that kid has a lot of good football ahead of him, and his measurables are right there with Quinn and Bowers.

Who is Nick Hardy.

Half cousin of Nick Hayden and Greg Hardy?

    • Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons
    • My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.
    • I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
