Its obvious to anyone with a clue, the Panthers draft with their first pick...

DT is a definite possibility.

It's almost easier right now to say what it's not going to be.

It's not going to be a quarterback, runningback, tight end or linebacker. Probably not a safety either, and I'm growing more doubtful it'll be a receiver.

If Hurney is back I really don't want Ingram sitting there when the Panthers come up.

Which QB would that be?

Pat white

I have no idea. But Im sure there are some coming in the draft that would be an upgrade over what we already have. Chances are Moore aint coming back so that opens up a slot.

I think that slot will go to a vet..

Well, in the NFL you really need five running backs to compete. We feel that with the addition of Ingram and the resigning of Williams, we'll be able to overcome the losses of Beason, Kalil, Davis, and Chris Gamble.

We feel we're a better team.

I'm a vet now.

Top 5 picks are usually DE's, QB, DT,OL. Anything other than that and you can get yourself in trouble pretty quick, as the value isn't really there.

P.S. I really hate to keep saying it, but as bad as we are this year the Armanti pick should get Hurney fired in the offseason.

If that happens I'm going to drink every beer I can find until I see Bigfoot in my backyard.

Unless he develops into something special. He hasn't had a chance to be a bad pick yet imo unless one was expecting immediate impact.

[Happy Panther]

Can Armanti play DT?

[TalentScout]

Patrick Peterson is your BPA.

Trading down may be your best bet, though, if you can get a good deal.

Getting Ryan Broyles in the 2nd would be huge. He's going to be the biggest steal of this WR draft class.

[scpanther22]

I would like to draft Michael Floyd in the 3rd..but IDK if he will be there.

hell people on these boards drank the tallent cool-aid we had at DT for months prior to the last draft. it was clear then we needed dt help, and most people on the boards cried "but we have all this tallent from trades last year". where are all those guys now? we screwed the pooch in 2008 with brown (loosing the 1st in 2009), and just missed the best DT class (top heavy) in quite a few years because of it.

love to say that there will be a great DT avalible to us coming up, but this class isnt near as good (hell i would take brian price, a 2nd rounder last year, before about any DT in this class, even the jrs if they come out). without a 2nd we better hope a ton of poo comes out on austin and he drops to the 3rd. even then austin has more hype than production (great tools for a dt, but not the production a #1 HS DT was supposed to have). he could be a guy like hardy, better production than expected, or be a really special athlete that never quite produces to his abilities.

When rebuilding, and that IS what we are doing, you cannot afford to take luxury/project/reach picks in the 2nd round. You need solid talent that your team can build around. And trust me, we need some serious solid talent.

As I have said before, if you are winning 11-14 games every year, you can afford that pick, obviously we are not, and we could not.
