I'll pass, DT's or defensive players in general don't win Playoff games. At some point you've got to take a chance on hitting the homerun, with the 1st pick in this years draft now's as good a time as any. :)

Give the fans a reason to be excited, with good/above avg defensive production (especially considering how long we were on defense) and a defensive minded coach to improve us even further. I say you go after a player to improve what many try to sidestep as the NFL's 32nd overall offense. No defensive player we draft is going to help us offensively THAT is our biggest need. Space eaters can be found in later rounds. SF out :smash:

I could very easily see us picking Dareus, even after all this courting of Cam Newton.

I have my opinions on who they should pick, though even there I'm not really settled (back and forth between Peterson, Dareus at the moment; still think Fairley could be an option too).

As far as who they will pick, I'm not even gonna try and predict that, especially not this far out.

Fairley played a bigger role then Cam in the national championship....and Dareus is better than Fairley :)

True, I was not impressed with Cam in the national championship game at all...

The other thing Dareus has going for him is that he's not a one-year wonder like Cam, Fairley or Bowers.

I would if I felt like reading 157 mocks :lol:

Truth is, regardless of who the Panthers take, a significant portion of the fanbase will think they completely screwed up and should have picked someone else.

Over time, those factions may be proven wrong, or they could be proved right :eek:

(obviously, you wanna hope for the first option)

If we are going best player available it should be petersen...Dareus isn't really considered the top player by any means. Fairley is a one year wonder who has maturity issues and Newton is...well there is no use getting into that.

If we are going to take the player who could have the biggest impact I'd have to go with Newton. He could change this franchise for the next decade. Dareus, Petersen, Fairley nor anyone else could do that.

It depends on if you want to run a draw play on third and long and punt...or you want to drop back and throw up a prayer. What kind of man are you?

It could very well be Dareus, but you have to think about Fairley 2. It seems like everybody forgot about him. But trust me he want fall there far from Carolina list. I know I wouldnt mind us taking a QB but in April if Ron Rivera is really serious about having a good Defense he might just get his stud DT in Dareus or Fairley. But I kind of feel that Dareus will be the pick. He is the only DT that can have that opportunity to have that Suh impact. Great against the run and his pass rush aint have bad. Very strong and stout and could have a long Career.

Also Mr. Scot on Mcshay new Mock Draft he have the Carolina Panthers taking Marcell Dareus number 1 now.!

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
