Who should we draft with the #1 pick?


Sam Mills Fan

Here is a tidbit from JR, making me think we are going to try to surround Clausen with as many weapons as possible (as I am sure everyone has read from multiple sources, there are a lot of people in the Panthers organization who are behind Clausen).

"He’s planning to change the Panthers’ philosophy. For years the team leaned on a tough defense. But now he says the NFL is so offense-oriented that offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches are nearly as important as head coaches. Richardson said the Panthers will hire a new head coach first, but then go hard at offensive assistants. And no matter the coaches, he says the Panthers are going to open up."

“The NFL has changed, in the last five years, dramatically,” he said. “We would be foolish not to stay in sync with that… We didn’t score enough points. First thing, they (fans) want us to win. But after that, they want us to score points and they want excitement.”

Well that makes it sound like we may actually make the correct move and take AJ given the situation and the fact that we should.....but we have no idea what these guys will do. I'm bored of this. Another who should we draft thread might fix it.

Agreed. All we can do at this point is speculate, which is why going 2-14 and not being in the playoffs sucks this time of year!

But I view this as a major turning point in the franchise, and after reading that article that I just posted, and reading multiple articles saying there are still a lot of believers in Clausen, I think Green is the pick.

Holy f**k people who the hell is going to throw to Green????

Cam Newton or trade down for QB but it has to be QB....

read the post above...

Bring in Orton.. with the 4 WRs that would be on the team and our run game, Orton will do just fine..

I'd love to trade down. Everyone was set for Luck at number 1 that no one feels worthy of that number 1 pick. But I'm not sure if there will be too much action in terms of trading up for that number 1 pick.

I chose Cam Newton. QB is the position we are in dire need of help and I think he's the best available. People get on him because he's from a spread offense and whatnot but the kid isn't just one dimensional. He can throw as well.

AJ Green.

6'4" 212 lbs. 40 time: 4.38-4.58.

You've gotta take the guy if you stay at 1.

I've been saying it all day, and I'll say it again.

We had the worst offense in the league last year, and there are quality Free Agents available for defense. None of it will matter though if you don't pour some serious focus on the offense. The guy is to Receiving what Luck is to QBing. He's a rare, blue-chip prospect, and is the last remaining "can't-miss" player left in this class. We have got to work on our offense. By drafting Green, you automatically make the aging but still extremely talented Smith expendable as trade ammunition for another QB. If you end up keeping Smith, then you have one heck of a Receiving corp that would force a 2 year pro in Clausen to at least play adequately. We have a chance for a good team here THIS SEASON. Don't reach for a player who can't contribute, or worse, is a bust altogether.

Take AJ.
