Panthers begin background work on Fairley

[ncbobcat]

Thanks bobcat. I don't follow college ball enough to know all of this truthfully, so I appreciate any and all perspectives from fellow Huddlers. I take it all with a grain of salt, and I have my reservations about every prospect (but who doesn't?) it's just nice to see what everyone thinks and knows and thinks what they know and so forth. Are you in Fairley #1 camp or do you have a different direction in mind?

Yes and have been squarely since the National Campionship game. I can't say I've seen a whole lot of him prior, but his yearly stats topped off with that game are enough to show he's for real. People say he's a one year wonder, but he's a JUCO transfer, I believe red-shirted and then was a reserve (in that order) prior to getting on the field full time this season. I think he showed-out this season given his first real opportunity as a starter opposed to this was ONLY his good season.

Laetita is a bot. this thread was made first. I'm surprised u haven't figured this out by now.

[ncbobcat]

Latita always starts threads from cloumns at the Observer as do other people. That's where we get these duplicate threads.

Edit: Salty beat me to it.

My bad, coLumns. Sometimes the fingers type too fast and letters get switched.

The guy brings a nasty streak, I love that!

I fully expect this guy to be our pick as long as nothing comes up as far as character or in the pre-draft process.

...and I fully expect the expectations to be way to high for him and for us to look back on that pick and give a few shoulda woulda couldas. This guy is the focus of the biggest hype train I have seen since the JaMarcus Russell pick.

If we don't at least try to trade back then IMO we are going to regret it. We have too many needs on the offensive side of the ball to take this kid #1 overall. So unless we get a playmaker at QB via free agency and probably a receiver as well then there is no way I am on board with taking a DT at #1.

I would love a mean mentality in the trenches

back at ya. just stating the obvious didnt mean for it to come off as it did.

I don't follow the logic on not taking X position number 1 overall... With my hindsight goggles, given the opportunity, I'd take Polomalu #1, Fitzgerald #1, Suh #1, Aso#1, etc. In a few years from now, I'll be saying the same thing about another player from this draft that wasn't taken #1. Point being, you can't say to me that if you knew how let's say, Champ Bailey was going to be, and in the draft, he's there at number 1 overall alongside Ryan Leaf and Robert Gallery, you'd take OT or QB over CB in that scenario. #1 should be BPA, where the P stands for player, not position.
