SportsCenter On the Clock: Carolina Panthers

[Dpantherman]

The Carolina Panthers are next in our On the Clock series. That also means they’re last in the series because they hold the No. 1 overall pick.

Mel Kiper, Trent Dilfer and Chris Mortensen talk about what the Panthers should do with that pick and they don’t have any clear-cut answers. Although there has been a lot of speculation about the Panthers taking Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, none of the experts seem sold on that idea.

Dilfer points out that a quarterback who played in a spread offense in college might not be the ideal fit for coordinator Rob Chudzinski’s offense. Kiper and Mortensen talk about the possibility of the Panthers trading down and how a rookie wage scale could help make that easier.

All three say the Panthers might be wise to stay clear of Newton and Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert and go with a defensive player.

And this why I don't watch ESPN. If it were Dallas Newton would be a great pick. But no they want us to take a TE.

I think its more of they view our owner Jerry Richardson as extremely cheap and view it as highly unlikely he would draft and pay a QB #1 overall like all the other normal NFL franchises. Them suggesting we take a defensive player instead is just a nice way of saying that.

is it the 28th yet?

I watch that segment not to long ago. And nobody knows what they think the Panthers should do. The scary thing is the draft is next week and nobody really has a idea on what we should do. So what most people believe in first is speculation and thats Cam Newton maybe the favorite to be the pick.But by the end of the week everybody should almost have an good idea on what we should do or what we might do.

Any player you take #1 is going to get a boat load of money. You fail again King Troll....

:lol: at y'all thinking the media doesn't view us having a cheap owner/making conservative decision this is basically what they're trying to say without saying it.

This is why a lot of us are waiting to see the choice we make to compare it with how they ran things during the Fox era.

Mel Kiper cant project us with a QB because that would show that he was wrong last year about Clausen.

So if they don't take Newton or Gabbert then Jerry doesn't want to win???

If anything It will show that we will sadly still be making conservative decisions though which put us in the position we are in now though so...:rolleyes:
