I don't think he's legitimately in the mix for the first pick, but I could understand why they'd be interested in him.

I don't want him, but I do think he'll be the best pro out of this crappy class.

Also, I'd be really surprised if he, Hurney or anyone else definitively ruled anyone out as a possibility.

Sure he does, he's got his poker face on right now... what he's really saying is: if you like Mallett, call me.

i don't see it that way. i don't think ANYONE is liking mallett enough to call about the #1. Now if they want gabbert or newton, and they know we like mallet enough to trade down and take him later, then this is to let teams know we're open for business.

You never know... look at how much did Denver gave up to jump up and grab The Golden Calf of Bristol :out:

I do.

Wouldn't be my choice either, but like I said in the other thread, what we see from guys like Mike mayock and Mel Kiper has no bearing on the Panthers. Their scouting department may grade Ryan Mallett higher than any of us think.

I think it is hard to believe for the number 1 pick. I think this is for a situation we trade down or trade back into the second round if he is available and we don't pick a QB number 1.

You may be right but it is hard to believe when there are reports out there like this:

Per CBS Sports:

"Multiple sources inside the league" tell CBSSports.com that Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett is viewed as no better than a borderline first-round prospect.

Mallett is "very much fighting just to stay in the first round," the sources say. Panthers coach Ron Rivera recently suggested Mallett was one of his team's targets at No. 1 overall, but the coachspeak can't be taken seriously. All in all, we'd be surprised if Mallett was drafted in the top 25.

I think this is bs personally and still think he is off the board much higher than he is being projected. But number 1 is hard to believe.

You never know though, you could be right. :confused:

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
