McShay's Mock 4.0 has us taking Dareus...

Carolina Panthers

Record: 2-14 | Top needs: DT, QB, CB, OLB, DE

Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama

I would think long and hard about passing on Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert with this pick, but general manager Marty Hurney drafted Jimmy Clausen last year and signed Matt Moore in 2007 so there might not be as much support in Carolina for drafting a quarterback as there's rumored to be. Dareus, CB Patrick Peterson and OLB Von Miller are the cleanest of the elite prospects in the 2011 class and defensive tackle is Carolina's top need so Dareus appears to be the most logical choice with his size, quickness and versatility.

Dareus is the best option at this point. I know Peterson is a popular pick too, not that I would mind him, but we need a, well I don't want to say stud and get the Bull's horn's, but we do need a DT that can rain down havoc. I know we need QB, and CB, but I'd like to think we can get decent FA help in those area's once this CBA mess is over. Cam, Gabbert, Mallett, and Locker just don't seem to fit the situation the Panthers are in. How would another rookie QB fix the mess were in at that position. Did Fox think Delhomme would never age or get hurt? I'am not bashing Jake, just don't know why Fox and Hurney let the QB position get so bad.

Thank's JOAT, but I don't want guy's to think I'am saying those QB's I mentioned are bad, but our situation is, and Jimmy NEVER shoud have been put in that position. Maybe with Rivera at the Helm Jimmy might, I say might show some promise. It could be that we will need A vet. free agent. It was'nt that long ago I thought Cam was a sure #1 pick. After a closer look, I'd be floored if they pick ANY of the QB's in this class. Maybe Moore can get back to his 09 form, that would be sweet too.

It's about time he got it somewhat right lol. I ahve my opinions on who the panthers to take but I'm less critical of mocks. Still, when someone says that we should pick Bowers/Quinn with our top pick... for months on end nonetheless... yeah that pisses me off.

    • https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking
    • I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
    • i have not watched many gt games.  is it his accuracy that hurt his draft stock his armstrength or all of the above?
