With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

OK, for all those saying to trade down and not draft a QB? Who is our QB next year? Just waste away another season, right? Nah.

And for those saying take a DE. Who? There isn't even a DE in the top 10 worth taking.

Look, I seriously doubt that we'd trade down from the first pick anyway, but if we do we are in for another season of dread with a sub par retread.  And DE? Ha! if we trade down, DE isn't in the stars.

Drafting a qb in the top 5 and then immediately starting him sounds pretty moronic

If QB truly is the best player available, then yes QB. If not, then go with the best player in the draft. The Panthers have to hit 100% on the first 3 rounds. 100% can't miss players that produced and have the tools to succeed at the next level. No more high risk, high reward picks. They rarely work out here.

The way we are playing Defense who even knows if Evero is retained or if we swap back to a 3-4. Williams, Pearce, and Carter are the only edges people talk about being in the top 10 but none are being mentioned #1 and there is a reason for that. If you want to trade down and take one at 4-6 go for it, but not at 1.

i'm on the BPA train this coming year. Don't really care who it is or what position they play. Most years i don't feel like this...but this year, yeah, absolutely. best player. 

and we'd actually be better off listening to the consensus mocks...which isn't bad right now.

just do BPA all through the draft. just get talent. more and more talent.

Honestly this franchise isn’t in a position to develop a QB properly. Signing a vet and getting the roster up to snuff is the best way to go about it imo. Relying on a rookie QB to come in and single handedly turn the franchise around isn’t practical plus there’s no burrows or daniels in this draft anyway

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
