Who's still going to be ok if we don't draft the guy you want?

I'd like Newton but would be ok if we choose someone else. Also, even though I think taking DT #1 in a deep class doesn't make that much sense, I would be content with it. I mean we are a 2-14 team. Anyone we pick would help. We can't be set back any further by any pick we choose when John Fox has already set us back. Can't go anywhere but up from here.

Meh as long as we don't reach for a guy who has a second round grade at number one overall I won't complain to much. I have faith that the coaching staff has done their homework and is ready to make the pick that benefits the team the most....

"With the first pick in the NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State."

I don't believe the whole "reaching for a guy" thing people complain about. If a team wants a guy and believe that he will help the team out, that's all that should matter. The ones who create these charts to tell us whether we're reaching or not are just a bunch of talking heads anyway.

See above post.....no way you should draft a guy like Ponder number one overall when his stock is anywhere from 15-40. If you want that guy fine, trade down and pick up extra picks and get him or trade back up and get him if your scouting department has him as a franchise guy.....

This is exactly right.

I wouldn't mind taking Christian Ponder, but definitely no where near the #1 pick. If you want a player like that, that you know not many other teams have high on their board, trade down and get him + picks, or, package some picks and trade up.

Well i didn't mean that far of a reach...i think if it isn't a HUGE reach then we should be content with it because in the end what the coaches think trump what talking heads think.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
