It makes perfect sense. The Panthers top 3 picks from the last 2 drafts are QB's. 2 of them are completely useless & a waste of a high draft pick/roster spot.

Armanti Edwards played QB in middle school, high school, & college. Drafting him & putting WR beside his name doesn't magically make him a WR.

Sure it does.....just Joshua Cribbs, Elderman, etc are NOT QBs.

:confused:

Armanti Edwards

Jimmy Clausen

Cam Newton

Armanti Edwards was a QB that they drafted to play WR NOT QB, i dont care if he was a college and high school QB, he was drafted to play WR. Remember Matt Jones???? people didnt say he's a QB when he was drafted because it was made clear he was drafted to play WR.

As for Jimmy Clausen, you must've forgot the read the key word that was TRADE. the Jaguars TRADED what ended up being Ryan Kerrigan (real good pass rusher) and Jarvis Jenkins (got hurt, but has potential) for Blaine Gabbert, the panthers gave up nothing for Clausen, they sat back, waited and took Clausen, gave up on him in one year and then had the top pick, did their homework and took Newton, this is NOT the same as Jacksonville and Gabbert. Clausen was a 2nd round pick, Gabbert was a 1st round pick that they traded up for.

It does when he can't see over the entire offensive line. It also doesn't make sense because we didn't spend a top 10 pick on Jimmy Clausen or trade up for him. We also didn't trade up for Newton.

Therefore picking QB's in consecutive drafts at picks 1 overall and 48 overall are nowhere near comparable to taking a qb 10th overall and 7th or higher overall.

Thank you! that's the point i was trying to make. while yes, it hurt drafting Clausen and it was a bad 2nd round pick (one that i didnt think would be bad) it is NOT the same as trading up from pick 17 to 10 and getting a QB then quitting on him in a year and trading up again (which to get RG3, they would have to do).

      TE group

      What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)

      Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
