How has your opinion changed if at all on the following players?

Cam Newton

Marcell Dareus

Patrick Peterson

A.J Green

Nick Fairley

and any other highly rated prospects?

Me personally, I have been on the Cam bandwagon for a while but I didnt start that way immediately. I thought man what a great risk/reward guy but the more I learn about him I see less alot less risk. Initially I was convinced he was to raw to develop, but his work ethic and other glowing reviews of his ability to learn have me feeling really good about him.

Dareus, wasnt even in the conversation for me until probably the last month and half or so, but now he's somebody I could embrace pretty easily if the Panthers draft him

Patrick Peterson..I'm really indifferent on this guy. Just dont see any corner being worth #1 overall. Think he'll be good for somebody but not the best value at # 1 overall

Green was my guy for a long time, back when I still held out hope for Clausen and before it was clear we'd have the # 1 pick. Yes I would have always taken Luck ahead of him, but always thought Green was the next best option.

Now I feel Green is still a good option and would prefer him if we dont get Newton # 1 overall

Fairley I liked alot at one point but and wouldnt be totally upset if we drafted him but like Peterson I think he's a reach at # 1 overall

agree, i think cam should be the pick, he is the one player that has the potential to single handedly change the franchise, he could just as well be a bust but its about time a carolina pro sports team goes big.... if he isnt the pick trade down and take either dareus, green, jones, peterson,

I've been on Team Newton since about December...I wanted either him or Luck but was leaning towards the savior Luck. All the other guys did not really interest me since the QB issue has been killing our team for years...

1st Choice: Newton or Gabbert

(based solely on if we draft them, the coaching staff saw franchise QB potential..)

2nd Choice: Green or Peterson

a DT can be had elsewhere and later in the draft. And it's just a feeling, but Fairley is the last person I hope to hear we draft.

if we pass up the above guys, then that DT better be close to 75% of what Suh brings to the table. Of course, that's my feeling about any prospect/position..

    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
