If We Ended Up with Pick #1, Who Do You Beleive the PANTHERS would draft?

[Hoenheim]

I'm phrasing this in a way, not for who you want. But sort of simulating what the panthers might do. What would Morgan/Canales/Tepper do if we go 1-16 who would we draft #1? 

And another question,  who would be the #1 free agent they would be targeting. Or which position would it be? This year it was definitely interior o line. 

[Martin]

I think they would try to trade back, but if they don’t get a good enough offer, they will draft a QB

[Panthering]

Probably Shadeur Sanders if I'm being honest. If they do that then the FA position they'd try to target would likely be DE.

[UnluckyforSome]

With how stupid this franchise has been lately, they would run the card for Bust Young right up to the podium again.

[PanthersGTI]

Do not over think it. Just bring in a franchise player, no trade downs etc... we need cornerstones and you can get one at the top of the draft. Hopefully they have conviction in a QB and if not that get the best pass rusher.

Cam Ward or Sanders. They will want to get Canales his own picked QB. After that hopefully nothing but defense. 

[Hoenheim]

The clear favorites currently for #1 pick right now:

- Shedeur Sanders QB 

- Travis Hunter CB/WR 

- Cam Ward QB 

-- As of now there doesn't seem to be a Myles Garrett/Nick Bosa DE. 

-- Will Johnson CB and Mason Graham DT both from Michigan are extremely solid blue chippers, maybe not #1 pick but top 5 caliber at least. 

-- Tetairoa McMillan WR Arizona may be the best WR, Mike Evans type. Strongly doubt he'd go top 5 though.

A bust.

Cam Ward as it stands now that's still too early. Pass rusher in free agency but man do I hope they don't buy the most expensive guy. A great GM can find that production for less and that won't be on day 1 in the usual overpaying frenzy.

I think deep down they would draft Sanders. But I think Tepper is smart enough to realize Deion would make that tough to happen.

 

This is not what I want to happen, but I think they settle for Cam Ward.

 

 

What I prefer is we trade back for more picks.

No high end qb prospect is going to be allowed to come to Carolina.

Anyone else interested in Drew Allar? He’s got Cam size

Sanders or Ward if they truly like them

If not, Mason Graham or a name to watch shoot up the draft, Mykel Williams 

[PNW_PantherMan]

We will draft Sanders and he will sit the entire year like Bo Jackson.
