"If Luck comes out, it's game over. He will go No. 1, you can put it down in pencil. To Carolina. To Buffalo. To Cincinnati. To a team that wants to trade up. To whoever. End of discussion. And if my team had the No. 1 pick, and it had the chance to take a potential franchise quarterback, it would be insane to pass it up." - Adam Schefter

Intersting quote, Pantherfan81. I don't agree with drafting a POTENTIAL franchise QB until all of the other pieces on offense are in place. Although I see his logic, the Panthers need to watch the next five games and decide if Clausen is the FRANCHISE QB or not.

What team that has a chance to draft a franchise QB at the #1 spot has all the other pieces in place.

the smart teams prepare for a franchise QB...perfect example being the falcons.

i'm all for luck being drafted if carolina improves the o-line, signs a veteran QB and a veteran reciever.

start him right away. there's no point in him sitting on the sidelines. there's nothing to see.

Both of you are right, which is why so many franchise QBs drafted failed miserably. Carr, Harrington, Couch, Russell, etc. However, if the pieces are not in place, Peyton Manning would suffer, as he did his rookie year.

The fact is, Luck may stay in school and wait for the lockout CBA crap to end. I would advise him to do so if a lockout seems inevitable. However, if Harbaugh leaves--and he should, Luck could fear his stock would drop on a bad team and a new offense. DRAMA.

I am intrigued to see Brandon Mebane play, as the top free agent pass rushing DT, he could be a great acquisition for us...

i for one wouldn't be surprised to see carolina burn it's first pick on a dt.

it's the one piece that the defense needs to be one of the best in the league. if they're not going to sign a good fa to fill the spot, picking anything less than the best in the draft is pointless.

I think it depends on where we end up, however drafting DTs is one of the riskiest positions to get right. They always take a year or two to be pro ready and often that leaves franchises hanging.

I would much prefer we gave a run at Mebane, he has 4 years of being one of the best pass rushers from the DT position and he has also played NT pretty well.

Let's see how much he and Clemons ruin our OLine today!

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
