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 ;)

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
