Philly likes Willis and they have the picks to move up...could they be that desperate?  If so, why not give us Mishew and swap first rounders?  Just a thought.  Saw that idea nowhere but in my head.

I'd be down with that, especially if the OTs are gone.

Gotta say, from the clips I saw, the dude was throwing dimes. 

He is going 6 if someone doesn’t move in front of us.  Book it

Unless Willis is just absolutely spectacular at his pro day. I think Pickett just solidified his top ten pick status with Carolina taking him 6th. Willis might just do the same thing tomorrow and make this decision difficult, but most likely he falls to Atlanta and gets taken 8th.

Also occurs to me that if the Panthers got paranoid about somebody else trading up and snagging their guy, Dan Morgan's got an old friend running the Giants draft who might give him a fair deal to move up a spot.

I agree. If one of the top tackles is available, that'll be a tough pill to swallow

Maybe I'm wrong, but I've watched a everything I could find a Pickett at this point, and I think he could develop into something. Originally, I really hated the idea of drafting Pickett (mainly because of my bias for big arm quarterbacks), but after watching so many games it's plain to see why he's rated the best quarterback in this draft class. His arm isn't elite, but he's a great athlete, accurate thrower, sees the field, and has a very focused demeanor. 

The draft is always a gamble, and I'm personally for taking as many shots as possible. If the Panthers draft him and he then plays poorly I think they should just go back to the well and try again. It worked for the Panthers in 2011, and several teams since. 

I don't think adding another "piece" this year is going to move the needle, and with the positive moves made this off-season I feel as if we're not going to be drafting this high again (especially with our cratering division).

Not sure on that, just saw someone mention that he had 38 fumbles in 52 career games.

It was 3. Only 3

 O way his pro day is better then fields

...last season.

Someone else confirmed that previously. Also said none of them were lost.

In a West Coast type system like we run, accuracy, touch and timing are way more important than a big arm.

Why did you put David Carr in a Panthers uni?

I mean considering that David Carr was in a Panthers uni at one point... 

Don't tell me you don't remember the saucy flip for a first down he had?

Not that it has anything to do with Pickett, but I've long maintained that Carr actually could have been a good quarterback. But in his first few years with the Texans, he got the sh-ttiest coaching imaginable.

They didn't feel it was necessary to teach him to read defenses. They just had him throwing to a spot depending on what the play was.

Exactly. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Rhule pushes for a trade up to secure Pickett. It's who they need to make the offense work this year.

Pointed out elsewhere that the guy who holds the #5 pick right now is pretty good friends with our Assistant GM.

A deal to move up a single spot wouldn't necessarily require huge compensation, especially if the two guys making the deal are on good terms.
