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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
