How would you approach the draft?

It is no secret that we have a lot of holes that need to be filled. I love the Panthers policy of building through the draft. I think this is the only way to have a quality team year after year.

The 2010 draft is being called a "deep" draft. Lots of talent in the spots that the Panthers are in need. I am going to go ahead and say we need:

WR who is fast (could be a future #1, deep threat, return man)

WR who is tall (possesion type, goal line threat)

DT (who can pressure the QB, we have run stoppers)

DE (one more body to throw into the mix of our youth here)

CB (I am pretty sure Marshall will not be on the team)

SSLB (Connor is going to be slow converting from a true MLB)

What I am getting at is, how would you go about getting more draft picks?

option 1, we trade players (maybe a RB, Marshall)

option 2, we trade away next years draft (I hate this idea)

option 3, we trade down further and hope we can find quality players in rounds 4-7

It is obvious that we are going to do something in this draft, what would you do?

I go after taylor price, and javier arenas, and linvall joseph personally.

Taylor price is big, fast, and a great blocker (and he takes pride in his blocking skills) he's also apparently easily coached.

Arenas is a beastly return guy, I know we just picked up THE brian witherspoon, but it'd still be nice to have another corner who is fast and covers decently.

Linval joseph just because I go to ECU and the kid is a beast. go after him or CJ wilson, I personally think wilson is the better player from what I have actually seen, but DT is apparently what we "need"

First you approach the draft from downwind, and when its not looking pounce.

I know its a lot to hope for but I would like a WR that can get open and catch. I like Gilyard for his overall game, or someone like Price; or more of a slot guy like Decker or shipley.

3rd round, likely go DE or if a good DT falls in the third fine; but we still have Ivins from last year. Depends on his health.

I might go for an OL line in 4th round; likely a tackle; perhaps a center/guard combo.

if we don't get 2 receivers, i'm gonna go crazy and blow up the world. we could use a fat run stopper at dt, but one may not be there that is any good. de should be a high priority. i'd say qb, but i don't know what qb would be available late. our first two picks should be 2 wrs, or 1 wr and a defensive lineman, preferably an end. anything else and i'll say we stink.

This is what i would like to see done. If Marshall keeps acting like a spoiled brat i would shop him. Hoping for a mid to late 2nd or top of the 3rd. I say we ship him to the hellhole that is Detroit for their 3rd.

2. Brandon Ghee, Wake Forest, 6'0'' 191lbs and runs a sub 4.4. Local talent.

3. Torrell Troup, UCF, 6'3'' 315lbs looked very good in East-West game. Strong and explosive enough to be the perfect hybrid of a Fox NT and a Meeks DT.

3. Marcus Easley, UConn, 6'3'' 215lbs ran 4.45. Played in a rushing offense can block well and stretch the field with his speed.

4. Greg Hardy, Ole Miss, At one point was considered the BEST DE prospect of the draft. Our locker room would either get him up to speed or spit him out. If he could reach his potential we could end up with a steal in the fourth.

6. Brandon Banks, KSU, Garner, NC native has speed that kills. A KR/PR specialist that is shifty and dangerous.

That sounds like you put some thought into it. Looks pretty good.

I agree, I think Marshall is gonna get the boot here in the next few days or during the draft.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
