PFW: Carolina seeks second-round pick By Nolan Nawrocki

Although Panthers GM Marty Hurney has remained steadfast expressing interest in a quarterback, the way we hear it, the Panthers' decision at the top of the draft will come down to three players — Alabama DT Marcell Dareus, Georgia WR A.J. Green and LSU CB Patrick Peterson.
"Marty wants everyone to believe he is taking a quarterback," said one rival executive. "He would love to get his second-rounder back (traded to the Patriots last year to land Armanti Edwards in the third round). Marty does not like taking quarterbacks in the first round out of principle — there is too much boom or bust. Look at his history — he has been there (nine) years, he has never had a great (quarterback), and he has never done it."
"The owner (Jerry Richardson) wants clean," said an inside source. "He struggled taking Julius Peppers because of (rumored) issues."

Was the principal of no QB i the first his or John Fox? This exec seems to be going off the way things were not the way things are now. This could all be a ruse but I just don't see the point. You hold all the cards..you don't need to play games to get your guy.

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
