Steve Reed Says 2012 #1 Pick (If Lockout) Would Go To...

Nobody wants a lockout.

Not the owners. Not the players.

But if there is one bright spot for the Panthers it is that they would indeed get the No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL draft if there is no football in 2011, a high-ranking league source has confirmed to Carolina Growl.

That would mean consecutive No. 1 overall picks in 2011 and 2012 for the Panthers — and another shot at Andrew Luck. So I ask you fans, is a year off from football worth the wait for Luck? Nah, didn’t think so.

But it’s something to think about.

    • Does anyone know what this says? Link isn't loading for me.
    • We missed out on Williams so we ended up with two guys in Wharton and Bobby Brown who combine to replicate the skill set Williams has.  Wharton has pass rush moves but is weaker against the run and Brown is true nose tackle.  It's a solid plan B after missing out on Williams.  More personal groups and less versatility but probably better in core run defense.  Better time of possession, a safety who excels at run stopping, and better personal fits and I'm liking what the run defense is shaping up to be.  I remember reading somewhere that Fangio's system can take a bit to develop a strong run D as it is a complex system.
    • Smart decision on both sides: if Panthers would have cut him they would have saved $3.25 million under the cap  so instead they do this: Tuttle was set to make $6.5m in last year of his deal. He’s taken a pay cut to $3m, per league source. $500k in guaranteed money.
