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 ;)

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
