Think things couldn't have gotten worse? Think again.

Yeah, why not.

I like Fairley too, but I wish I could have seen more than one year that wasn't JUCO. I probably go with Dareus right now.

Fairley's a quick learner who has excelled everywhere. Scouts rank him higher than Dareus, plus at #1, nobody would take Dareus. Realistically, if it isn't Luck, it should be Newton.

I'd just go AJ Green personally. Super dude, super name.

I feel like no matter what, I'm gonna be disappointed on draft day, and disappointed in weeks 1-17 of next season.

Hey hey hey, don't say that. Buck up there buckaroo. I think, if nothing else, we spend some money and step right back into mediocrity next year. And best case scenario, we get a franchise player at one that propels the team to new heights.

Also, as this thread attempted to point out before we willingly sabotaged it, it could have been much, much worse.

You bring up a good point, I just don't think the Panthers should pass on Newton if Luck does what we think he will and stays in school.

But what if the Saints had that pick, and just were able to add a great player at our expense?

If we had traded the first pick in this April's draft, this would be bizzaro-huddle, with every thread crying to the world that it just makes sense for Luck to go back to school and get a degree. With everyone else tattooing "HATE HRNY" across their knuckles and muttering about Dwayne Jarret, Eric Shelton, and "the reckoning to come." In short, it would be awesome.

^This. The meltdown would be better than Farve to Vikings.

Seriously, I'm considering using the idea as a base for my students' final film project next year.

If we get a QB first pick, no matter who it is, we better have a very highly touted and expensive QB Coach already inked for at least 5 years. I do not want to mess around with this pick. Carolina is where QB's go to die.

People love post apocalyptic movies, but you're going to need zombies. Panther fans zombie tailgates would be pretty cool.
