Say we nab a defensive player with a first round grade with our 65th pick. Are you going to feel better that we drafted Cam, and more comfortable on the defensive front?

a couple defense fans wanted us to take two dt's with our first two picks..so maybe not...

The only first round grade players left are like... Aaron Williams, Marvin Austin, Da'Quan Bowers, and Akeem Ayers... I'd take Williams or Austin but I find it very unlikely that they get to us.

Drake Nevis/Terrell McClain or Davon House will hopefully be at the top of the third.

No.

Cam is going to get a $50+ Million payday, so picking up a 1st round calibre defensive player later doesn't make the risk and amount of money being paid to Cam any less. The only thing that will make me feel better is Cam Newton coming to Charlotte and successfully proving he can be this team's QB.

Ok, ...what about the second part of the question then?

      We took Luke when we had Jon Beason, and a hurt Jonathon Brooks when we had Chuba. Just noting.  I don't think teams are going to pass up on an impact player regardlessly if whether they need something else. There's a good argument that drafting an inferior player, and especially an obviously inferior player, based upon need is a pathway to failure.  I'm glad we took Tetairoa McMillan even though there were arguably bigger needs.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      As much as I'd love Cam or Mahomes I'd also settle for a QB that is at least better than average at something other than 4th quarter comebacks/game winning drives. He's literally bottom third in the league in most categories (yards, completion percentage, int percentage/turnovers, YPA, IAYPA, QBR and QB rating) and right around average in a couple others, notably TD % where he is 15th and YAC/PA where he is 9th. If Bryce can improve I'll be happy with him. But all this stuff about us asking for perfection / insane ability is a bit ridiculous. Most of us "haters" just see a QB that is basically below average over his career to date and has shown relatively little consistency in his third year.  NFL offenses don't need 400 yards every week at all, but they do require a QB that can move the ball, and Bryce struggles often with that (hence why our overall offensive rank is so bad despite an overall good rushing rank).
