I think its safe to assume that if we don't trade back Cam Newton will be the firs pick in the draft. So what do the panthers do after drafting their franchise QB??? One thing I'm worried about is reaching for players in the third...mainly defensive tackles. DT is a deep position in the draft but most of the starting caliber prospects will be gone by our second pick. I would hate to pick a guy like Drake Nevis or Jarvis Jenkins too soon bc we need help there.

So assuming Newton is the pick...what do the panthers do next???

After Newton gets picked? I think the next team in the draft order is the Cardinals at #5, but I'd have to look.

(unless he goes to the Bills at 3 instead, but I think they'll pick Gabbert)

Mr Scot...come on. One of these three things will happen on draft night.

1) we draft Cam and JOAT's head explodes.

2) we trade back to 5 and pick petersen and a collective sigh of relief happens.

3) we pick someone else confirming the biggest and most elaborate smokescreen in Panthers history...and teeray is banned for a week.

Now honestly...which one of those is the most likely scenario???

Cam is going to be the pick. Accept it and move on.

I'll do that shortly after it actually happens.

He may be, but I'm not convinced that decision is made just yet. And media speculation doesn't count as "evidence" no matter how much of it there is.

Any of 'em, except the part about JOAT's head exploding.

Regarding the smokescreen notion though, tell me this. Are the Panthers actually putting out pro-Newton info or is the media speculation frenzy fueling itself?

You guys are high if you think Carolina is going to give up on Clausen after one year. He is Hurneys pick. Cam newton will not be selected by Carolina. So it has been written, so it shall be done.

It's about RIVERA he doesn't want Clausen! So accept it already, and stop living in denial.

I don't think the media is just making things up...yes I understand they do this at times. But too many people are saying Newton will be the pick for it to be something just created out of thin air.

Edit: and where has anyone said any other name??? If the media was making something up wouldn't another propects name be out there from somebody as the front runner???

But that's not really the point...IF newton is the pick what do you see the Panthers doing in the third round and beyond.

Do you think the media has any actual source? If so, tell me what it is.

And Newton isn't universal just yet. There are still guys predicting other picks, and have been for some time.

Regardless, it's all speculation on all sides. No one has any substance, It's just what they think reading the tea leaves.

The mistake is in thinking that just because there's a ton of media speculation, it somehow must be true. It might be, but it's not a lock.

Like I said, speculation - no matter how much of it there is - doesn't qualify as "evidence".

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
