When was the last time, if ever, the 16th ranked player or worse went #1 overall in the NFL Draft?

Going off Scouts Inc. final rankings:

SCOUTS INC.'S TOP 32

Player Pos. School Grade

1. Marcell Dareus DT Alabama 97

2. Von Miller OLB Texas A&M 97

3. Patrick Peterson CB LSU 97

4. A.J. Green WR Georgia 97

5. Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri 96

6. Robert Quinn DE N. Carolina 96

7. Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska 96

8. Da'Quan Bowers DE Clemson 95

9. Julio Jones WR Alabama 95

10. Tyron Smith OT USC 95

11. Nick Fairley DT Auburn 94

12. J.J. Watt DE Wisconsin 94

13. Aldon Smith DE Missouri 93

14. Corey Liuget DT Illinois 93

15. Muhammad Wilkerson DE Temple 93

16. Cam Newton QB Auburn 93

17. Mike Pouncey C Florida 93

18. Anthony Castonzo OT B.C. 93

19. Cameron Jordan DE California 92

20. Nate Solder OT Colorado 92

21. Mark Ingram RB Alabama 92

22. Gabe Carimi OT Wisconsin 91

23. Ryan Kerrigan DE Purdue 91

24. Adrian Clayborn DE Iowa 91

25. Kyle Rudolph TE Notre Dame 90

26. Jake Locker QB Washington 90

27. Akeem Ayers OLB UCLA 89

28. Stephen Paea DT Oregon State 89

29. Cameron Heyward DE Ohio State 88

30. Aaron Williams CB Texas 88

31. Brooks Reed DE Arizona 87

32. Brandon Harris CB Miami (FL) 87

Drafting Cam Newton would be the Panthers going from Foxball to Vegas, feeling lucky?

Wouldn't he actually be considered T-13?

sure

because I don't think Richardson has suddenly become a huge gambler with Fox gone, the more I think about it I'm leaning that all this Cam talk is one big bluff for a trade. If trade doesnt' come they settle with AJ Green over Defense(though defense very possible), give Claussen/moore/Vet one more year and take QB in top 10 next year.

Its very logical to conclude top 10 pick very likely next season.

Cam Newton is the only player that could tempt the right team into a trade up(Redskins, Raiders, Cowboys...looking at you).

If we go Newton I hope we get some OL later in the draft and through the shortened free agency period. What I really hate is that new coaching hire teams get 3 minicamps instead of 1 and we're missing all that time.. last time I checked Newton didnt come from a Pro style offense and he ran it just about as many times as he threw it.

When was the last time a team with the #1 overall draft pick who was dead last in offense didn't take a QB.

ok, but going off general consensus Gabbert is the safer pick. he's #5 on Scouts

They really screwed themselves trading #33 away, could've got Mallet, Dalton, Ponder, Locker with that and got their stud DT or WR or Peterson at #1 to go with them.

Where was Tom Brady before he got drafted?

what does Brady have to do with gambling with the #1 overall pick?

By that logic, we should be looking at TJ Yates #1 or some late round QB we think may be the next Brady to take #1 overall.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
