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".

      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

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      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.
