general stuff. if he had to make the pick tommorow they could and feel good about it, but things are still subject to change. they will have their meeting with the college scouts tommorow and bring all the information they've learned on prospects together. asked about other players not being named cam newton being the safer choice like dareus and peterson. said something like both can be impact players at their postion, hopes the player they draft will be the most impactful player they could get for the team. brian murphy was on the phone and talked about the impact of the kickoff rule change and that having a premier KR might be even more important. Hancock didn't really pressure Hurney to tell him who they were going to pick but he did ask sort of in jest..probably more but i'm paraphrasing from memory. Some stuff about how Cam's interviews went but if I remember he danced around that question too.

I do think you can infer that he kind of let the questions about PP and Dareus roll off his back and then said they hope the player we get will have the most impact on the team at his position...

Sounds like PP and Dareus aren't the pick. I've always said that PP is probably the safest bet out of all the guys being talked about - you can plug him in immediately and he's gonna be a Champ Bailey type of guy IMO. But, that isn't going to win you games by itself. Especially when we already have talent at pretty much every position on defense, with DT being the weakest. But, same thing, Dareus isn't going to win games with his performance alone, and that's what we need with the #1 pick.

I'm thinking Green or Newton. I hope Newton.

      Everyone Says BPA. Panthers Won’t.

      I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
