There is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the top pick and in reality the Panthers themselves may not know who they are going to take until shortly before draft day. However, the quarterback talk seems to be gaining a lot of momentum and if history is any indication that is the direction they may ultimately go. The opportunity to nab a potential franchise signal caller doesn't come along every year so if Carolina has any doubts about Jimmy Clausen's ability to be that type of player they must grab Missouri's Blaine Gabbert at #1. Gabbert isn't a finished product and will have to adjust to a pro style system but he has all the physical tools and intangibles that you look for. Some feel Gabbert has come out of nowhere and is only being mentioned as a potential top overall pick because there isn't a true stud quarterback prospect in this class. However, Gabbert has always been a very highly regarded pro prospect and the only reason he was flying under the radar is because few expected him to come out early. Auburn's Cam Newton is also in the mix but keep in mind that Panthers owner Jerry Richardson has shied away from guys who make headlines off the field for the wrong reasons. Others under consideration include Alabama DT Marcell Dareus, Clemson DE Da'Quan Bowers and LSU CB Patrick Peterson. Keep in mind that new head coach Ron Rivera is a defensive-minded guy and may push for a [sic] impact talent on that side of the ball, especially up front.

Gabbert is surging up to #1 across a TON of mocks. I've been tracking it from a mock draft compilation JOAT shared. It's crazy.

http://www.dcprosportsreport.com/MockDraft.htm

With Gabbert's recent #1s, he has held the lead in #1 forecasts to us roughly since his Pro Day.

According to the above link, in the month of March, Cam Newton has had 43 mocks place him at #1, Gabbert has had 37 (almost all in the last few weeks), Fairley has had 25 (almost all of them earlier in the month), Bowers has had 36 (ALL of them at the start of the month), and 29 for Dareus who has surged as the other big pick other than Gabbert.

Many of these mocks are updating more than once a month now. heh.

      Bruce Arians said when evaluating a college prospect they have to win on 3rd down and in the 2 min drill to be successful in the nfl.

      Dane Brugler’s panthers mock pick

      By TD alt · Posted

      We took Luke when we had Jon Beason, and a hurt Jonathon Brooks when we had Chuba. Just noting.  I don't think teams are going to pass up on an impact player regardlessly if whether they need something else. There's a good argument that drafting an inferior player, and especially an obviously inferior player, based upon need is a pathway to failure.  I'm glad we took Tetairoa McMillan even though there were arguably bigger needs.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      As much as I'd love Cam or Mahomes I'd also settle for a QB that is at least better than average at something other than 4th quarter comebacks/game winning drives. He's literally bottom third in the league in most categories (yards, completion percentage, int percentage/turnovers, YPA, IAYPA, QBR and QB rating) and right around average in a couple others, notably TD % where he is 15th and YAC/PA where he is 9th. If Bryce can improve I'll be happy with him. But all this stuff about us asking for perfection / insane ability is a bit ridiculous. Most of us "haters" just see a QB that is basically below average over his career to date and has shown relatively little consistency in his third year.  NFL offenses don't need 400 yards every week at all, but they do require a QB that can move the ball, and Bryce struggles often with that (hence why our overall offensive rank is so bad despite an overall good rushing rank).
