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

[Jackofalltrades]

I think Gettis is our best WR and the offense he used in college just didn't feature him or any of the WR's really. He's still a little raw, but I think he's a very capable #1.

I'd have no problem drafting Green, he's a freak of an athlete and a natural hands catcher, rarely letting the ball get to his body.

Green, Peterson and Miller are probably the three cleanest, safest picks in the draft.

Gettis has star potential no doubt. Him and Green together would be insane. I still think Smith is the best WR on this team even if we draft Green. If we take him we could put Smith in the slot and run Gettis and Green down field. Smitty will make Welker look like a joke.

If we took Green the potential of our WR core would be pretty insane. Not to mention if Armanti ends up to be half the player that Hurney expects him to be then my eyes might pop out of my head.

No reason to think that Smitty and Rivera don't like each other. I think that they just have an understanding that if Smith wants to leave then Hurney and Rivera will try to honor that.

I like Gettis just as much as the next panther fan, but I think it's a little homerisim saying star potential. If gettis has star potential then I think it's atleast 25 plus Wr's who would fit in that catergory.

When Calvin Johnson came in he showed star potential on the field, randy moss, dez bryant... these guys came in and early you had to gameplan for them... some even with below average QB's... That's star potential IMO.

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?

Just my opinion, but unless Jimmy makes huge leaps I see that scenerio setting us up for mediocrity.... No team consistently wins or are relevant year end and year out without above average to top QB play.

Gettis has the physical tools that rival some of the best prospects coming out even this year. He's just raw as hell. He seems like a pretty intelligent guy though. I've got confidence in him.

I think 'star potential' is a bit premature but he certainly has the potential to go far.

I also like Lafell, I just wish he could stay focused. He drops too many easy balls.

[Mr. Scot]

A couple of draft analysts said the "Green at #1" train is starting to pick up steam.

Not sure I buy it.

[mav1234]

yeah, two people have picked him so he's "gaining steam." Heh.

Sadly, other analysts picking them in mock drafts is often what qualifies as "gaining steam".

The assumption is that those analysts have some actual logic behind it as opposed to just pure speculation.

The assumption is often false.

My brain tells me there is no chance we draft him but for some reason I can't shake him off either.

Schefter CLAIMS he has spoken to seven personnel guys who have Green number one on their board. Take that FWIW.

Then the very next day some mocks starting mocking him here. I really think a lot of that derived from that Schefter tweet.

[Mr. Scot]

Not surprising. They feed off of each other a lot.

I think we shouldn't draft Green. Not gonna try to predict whether we will or not.

The board already has plenty of Psychic Friends. I don't care to be in the prediction business.

When I talk about the draft, it's pretty much always what I think we should do, only rarely what I think we will. There's just too much misinformation and wild speculation that goes on at this time of year for me to take any of the predictions seriously.

Someone will get it right, others will get it wrong. Whether any of it comes from actual info or just wild guessing won't really make much difference.

You've got a one in eight chance (assuming the Panthers don't do something really off the wall).

draft a QB in the first and take Greg Little in the 3rd if you really want a WR..if not fill other holes.

You don't take a QB first overall unless you're absolutely sure he's the real deal. If they have any questions about Cam succeeding they shouldn't take him.....period. Same goes for Gabbert, Locker, Mallet or even Luck if he was in the draft....
