With Rivera/Chud factored in? I would feel okay....

Considering what Fox/Davidson where able to do in 08 and parts of 09.

I think it's unrealistic to think that even assuming the Panthers will take Newton, he will start in the 2011 season.

Even with Newton on the roster, the Panthers will almost certainly have to find someone in either a trade or free agency to start ahead of him for at least one or two seasons while he learns the offense.

Newton, just like any player in a skill position fresh out of college will be a project of sorts. This is only compounded by Newton's lack of experience with a pro-style offense.

Even with his undeniable athletic prowess, the quickest way to lose your first round pick (again, assuming it's Newton) to a potentially career ending injury will be to stick him, a confused kid, out there and let him get destroyed by those monsters. It's a miracle that Jimmy Clausen isn't freakin' dead and he had a leg up by coming from a pro-style offense.

Jimmy Clausen (a 2nd round pick) started 10 games as a rookie for us last season. Cam Newton (our 1st round pick) will start games as a rookie for us.

jimmy clausen started 10 games because no one else could stay healthy.

sooner or later people will come to grips with the fact that it was never carolina's intent for clausen to see the field...despite the drama the media cooked up over the offseason.

Thats true he was kind of forced in. But he was so called pro ready.

But you cant tell me they then want to see what Clausen had in him.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
