I really think when April 28 get here the panthers will select Quarterback Cam Newton. The reason why is because we have the best opportunity to pick up a Good quarterback. I have no problem with taking Marcell dareus or Patrick Peterson or AJ green. But our biggest need is quarterback and we are in a good position to take the best one. I know there is alot of people on this board do not want us to take Newton. But when Andrew Luck was thinking about coming out people was like we can pass up on taking a potential franchise quarterback. And you should feel the same way about Newton because he can be a potential franchise Quarterback. But alot of people dont feel the way because of character issues and coming out of a one read offense.

If Im Ron Rivera and Hurney I am doing my homework day and night on all my prospects. I dont think what he does ont he field is what people question. What i think the questions is will he come in and be a gym rat and a film rat and do what it takes to be the best Quarterback and be the face of a franchise that had problems at the quarterback position since forever. I know that there is alot of anaylst that say we should trade down. But tradeing back is a bigger risk then drafting a Quarterback. Because there is a chance that we might not get one. And then people are going to look at us as been stupid because we didnt take one when we had the chance. Especially if that player works out.

You might as well face it; Cam talk is going to define this offseason for us. Even after we draft him the debate will still be raging.

If we draft Newton, even though I'm against it, I will support him 110% and will trust that Rivera and Hurney made the right decision. You can't be upset with whoever they decide to take, because Rivera is coming into his first head coaching job, he's doing everything he can to make sure it starts off right and that his career here lasts a very long time.

      There is a possibility that however people were measured it differs from what is being done elsewhere.  There were apparently a number of prospects that disagreed with their measurements at the combine... Maybe I just missed it but I'd never heard of this level of it before.

      https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp Going by this chart that won’t get it done, at all.  both of our 5th rounders are worth 56, total.    The 51st is valued at 390. Moving to 41 takes 100 points. In the second where we are, it is basically 10 points per slot. You can get in front of TB for 60 points. Baltimore at 45.  Which who would do that for 56 points? You are on a wing and a prayer.    To realistically have a good shot at these top guys, outside of Golday, it is gonna take at least 100 points, I am thinking.  And when they go, Golday’s market probably gets a lot hotter.  Just going by the rankings/valuations, I am thinking if you realistically want to assure you get your guy it will take trading back in the first. Which is why I have been saying to do that if we can.  For example 19 is valued at 875. 21 is 800. That, plus one of the 5ths gets you to 100 points which you theoretically could use to get to 41.    I think there are going to be several good options for us at 19, if we are good with taking what is left at 21-23 we can get a good player plus fund a trade up for one of these LBs which is what I am thinking makes sense.
