Dream scenario would be for Quinn to slide to us in the 3rd round... would be an absolute steal, so I hope he continues to show poorly. LOL

Yeah for real. I think he has definitely hurt himself today. It'll be interesting to see what his numbers are at the UNC Pro Day. If anything, maybe we can get into the 2nd round to pick him up (which he'll probably still go mid 1st round).

I actually have said multiple times on here that I wanted to trade back and pick up a 2nd. Take offense with the #1 pick, then Marvin Austin with the 2nd... I've been saying it since forever, and now everyone sees why, lol.

I actually had a couple friends on campus last summer talking about how hard Marvin Austin works - it was like the stuff of legend. They say he ran the stadium steps and everything on a regular basis, but I can't remember all of it now, but they talked about him like they were in awe of it.

Sadly, I think he just locked up a mid-1st round pick after today, the dude is a beast.

I was actually hoping Quinn would come in and blow it up and put himself ahead of Bowers b/c I think Bowers isn't gonna be very good. Well, Quinn didn't do that...

After seeing Cam's performance yesterday, I feel the only safe pick at #1 is AJ Green or MAYBE Julio Jones. I don't trust Gabbert either. I would take anyone of those guys a few spots back though, as well as Dareus, Austin, Quinn or Fairley... I just don't want that #1 pick.

This is the mentality that concerns me :mad:

Why? This is a win now league, but you also have to think big picture. The QB class is weak this year. Why not draft from the strong positions (DLine), see what Clausen can do this year, and if he tanks...that means we will be in a position to draft Luck (assuming he doesn't pull a Jake Locker).

I don't think Quinn has hurt himself that much. It's just that he didn't blow this thing up like everybody expected. A 4.67 40 is still very very good for a 260+lb man, and DE's don't come off the LOS in a straight line anyway.

The official results actually had Quinn running a 4.70 40... If he would've been solid on both runs at around 4.65, he would've passed Bowers for best DE IMO. He just didn't look very explosive.

That's a big IF. At this point there are about six or so guys I could see being legitimate choices for the new staff.

1) Marcell Dareus: obviously would fill a GAPING hole on our defensive line and if we bring back Charles Johnson he would give CJ a ton of space to wreak havoc.

2) A.J. Green: A freak at the WR position, has Megatron potential.

3) Julio Jones: See A.J. Green. I just am worried about his hands in college.

4) Patrick Peterson: Would give us a potential Revis type shut down corner and a big play threat in the return game that we've been looking for for years.

5) Blaine Gabbert: Depending on how he looks throwing the ball at his pro day this kid really could be an attractive option.

6) Da'Quan Bowers: If we lose Charles Johnson to free agency we will have to address the pash rush and he is IMO the best pass rusher in this draft.

At this point I'm leaning towards Dareus but these other guys should and will be in consideration.....

For sure, I like Peterson, Gabbert, and Dareus for the choice. Gabbert should have thrown yesterday, to be fair. It would be good to impliment that rule.

Yeah, it's a little bit of a concern, but he will be drafted in the 1st round anyway. It's just too hard for teams to pass up a natural pass rusher like Quinn.

FTR, he was always one of the best at UNC's off season conditioning program, so this is not what I expected.

Some were disappointed in his bench wondering why with a year off, that it was not better

      Carolina Panthers can't afford to draft a WR at No. 8 in the 2025 NFL Draft

      By thunderraiden · Posted

      LMAO, WRs are geting 30 to 40M a year, thats what matters. You have to draft an WR1, you can't get one in Free agency, and if you want to trade for one its going to cost you a first rounder AND 30-40M a year anyways. Thats why Tet is on the board at 8. The rest of what you're talking about is 100% irrelevant to the reason you draft Tet at 8. Also your example of tier 2 talent lasting to the end of round 3 after picks 6-7 (2-3 QBs and 4-5 Blue chips) gives even more fuel to getting the only WR1 in the draft if he is available. We can easily give up our 2 4ths to get an additional 3rd as well.
