Down to three guys???

Saw this earlier today via twitter from Wesley Bunting...

Hearing 3 names for the #Panthers pick at one...#Alabama DL Marcell Dareus, #Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert and #Auburn QB Cam NEwton #NFLDRAFT

I know we have discussed quite a bit about these guys over the past few weeks but if the list IS down to these guys how do you rate them? FYI I hope petersen isn't out of the equation but I think Bunting is referring to the the number one pick...if we trade down all bets are off.

I personally wouldn't be upset with any of these guys but this is how I would rank them:

1a Blaine Gabbert: I'm really warming up to Blaine and as much as I like Cam's upside I think Gabbert is the safer pick. But safer doesn't mean better.

1b Marcell Dareus: A lot of people want this guy (cough JOAT cough) and I'd be happy with him but I can't imagine passing on a QB at number 1 overall when our QB situation is shaky. He isn't as good as Sue was and St. Louis went QB. But he does fill a big hole for this team...a hole that HAS to be filled one way or another. I'd just hate to reach for a role player with a potential franchise QB sitting there.

2. Cam Newton: you can talk about what he did in his past...and some love to (cough JOAT cough) but let's be honest, the FO will do their diligence on Cam and if he is that big of a risk he WILL NOT be the pick. If every thing checks out and they don't feel Gabbert is worthy, then I think they take Cam at number one.

AJ Green is flying under the radar right now but I truly think he is still in play. Schefter said he talked to 7 personnel guys and he thinks Green just might be BPA over even Peterson on a lot of teams boards. He hasn't gotten a lot of love at the top of the draft and it might be counter intuitive with all the receivers we drafted last year.

But just keep it in mind. I won't be shocked if he ends up being the guy.

Really if we don't trade I'd be disappointed. If I just have to chose someone Marcell or Peterson will do. If we get a QB I would feel like we need to have a nice vet lined up for the next two years or it's a stupid choice.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.

      Panthers Preseason

      Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
