Would you stay up at draft night

If it's just to see what the Panthers do, I'd probably say no, but if you're interested in seeing what goes down in the draft as a whole, I'd say yes. I find the whole draft process pretty interesting, not just what the Panthers do, so I'd stay up and watch it regardless.

I little draft tidbit for all of you...

Last year I was in an airport during the draft... and I was boarding a plane bound for Italy (10 hr flight) right as the Panthers used their 1st pick... I sat down on the plane and got a call from a friend that we had picked Stewart.

Admittedly I was all about getting an OT... and the pick of a RB when we had Deangelo was perplexing...

It was some 20-30 hours later before I was able to see that we traded back into the 1st round and got Otah... (which I was ecstatic about!)

The point is that would prolly have been a pretty exciting thing to watch... and the draft in itself is when you get to see more NFL action (in regards to trades) than any other time.

So yeah, I'd stay up and watch... but I'm a fanatic.. a real nutjob when it comes to watching the Panthers.

I was dancing around the room when I saw that Eagles graphic transform to a Panthers graphic, because I knew exactly who they were going to get.

I was brought down a little later when I found out what they had given up, but I was cheering like they had just scored a TD.

Even though we don't have a 1st this year, it actually might end up being even more entertaining. I know I'm going to be watching every pick waiting to see that Panthers logo pop up and hear JP is traded.

i would to..the only guy i have seen the panthers haveing strong interest in..thats going in the first is larry enlish..but i rather get 2nds

I like some of the tackles and Moreno (absolutely no need), and Maclin and Pettigrew. Other than that, there's not much I want in the first that can't be had in the 2nd.

I have an eye for the top 3 QB's but they'll go too high.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
