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.

    • I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...
    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
