A.J. Green...Number-1 to Panthers?

So the latest mock has us taking Green @ the top, certainly wouldn't disagree with that move, he along with PP7 to me seem to be the MOST pro ready and talented at the top.

But with the lack of support around here for the "The Clause" would you be ok with them improving the offense around Jimmy to see what he can do with weapons and a less predictable offensive philosophy?

The thought of Smith, Green, Gettis/LaFell in the slots, Shockey at TE, our stable of backs, with a bit of AE in the "Wild Panther" and hopefully a cohesive and healthy line could Jimmy prove the haters/doubters wrong?

I can't say I wouldn't mind seeing this scenario play out...thoughts?

I really like Green as a receiver. He has some of the softest hands ever...when he catches, the ball just seems to melt into his hands.

But someone has to get him the ball to be effective, so I view him as a luxury pick at this point. We have much greater needs elsewhere.

who did this mock?

if we draft green it will be b/c smitty wants out and we intend on trading him once the CBA is agreed upon...that's the only way drafting him makes sense...i just don't see it happening...hurney just spent 3 picks on WR's last year...he's not gonna turn around and draft another WR with the first overall pick...not when we have far more glaring holes to fill

It's posted on NFL.com, I saw it this AM when I checked the App on my phone. As far as the WR's drafted last year, do you see any of them reaching a status comparable to #89? I really like LaFell and Gettis, not sure about AE because he hasn't played. I do not think they will be what Smith was as far as a WR who demands bracket coverage, they seem like #2's, and slot WR's.

Green on the other hand is reguarded as that rare talent in the realm of Moss, Calvin Johnson, has the size, and speed he's a "natural" as some would say. If you're going to have the first I could see a good deal of reasoning to select him. Worst case, we suck again, but we have our replacement for Smith, and we look to draft early again with another shot at a QB potetially.

An even deeper/improbable scenario, season's locked out and we get Green this year and Luck next year....WINNING!

ahh, here it is. was supposedly on Path to the Draft, Walterfootball reported it:

Charley Casserly's mock draft: 1) AJ Green. 2) "Marcellus" Dareus. 3) Patrick Peterson. 4) Blaine Gabbert. 5) Von Miller...

Charley Casserly's mock draft: 6) Robert Quinn. 7) Prince Amukamara. 8) Nick Fairley. 9) Tyron Smith. 10) Aldon Smith.

Charley Casserly: If I was betting on it, I don't think Carolina takes a wide receiver (so why mock Green to the Panthers?)

I really like Green too, I just don't see us going with him.

The 3 players I like most outside my homerism are Peterson, Dareus, and Green. I'd be fine with any of those 3, or a QB. I personally feel going defense is a better idea, but that's just me!

Here is another mock draft that has AJ Green coming to Carolina.

It's by the dude that ripped Cam Newton a new one.

Most interesting part of that Mock Draft?

Despite criticism of Clausen, there remains interest in the league for his services via the trade market should the Panthers give up on him too soon.

Get it done, Hurney. Get our 2nd round back!

and by "trade value", he means we could give someone a 6th to take him off our hands ;)

    • Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO
    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • 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
