There is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the top pick and in reality the Panthers themselves may not know who they are going to take until shortly before draft day. However, the quarterback talk seems to be gaining a lot of momentum and if history is any indication that is the direction they may ultimately go. The opportunity to nab a potential franchise signal caller doesn't come along every year so if Carolina has any doubts about Jimmy Clausen's ability to be that type of player they must grab Missouri's Blaine Gabbert at #1. Gabbert isn't a finished product and will have to adjust to a pro style system but he has all the physical tools and intangibles that you look for. Some feel Gabbert has come out of nowhere and is only being mentioned as a potential top overall pick because there isn't a true stud quarterback prospect in this class. However, Gabbert has always been a very highly regarded pro prospect and the only reason he was flying under the radar is because few expected him to come out early. Auburn's Cam Newton is also in the mix but keep in mind that Panthers owner Jerry Richardson has shied away from guys who make headlines off the field for the wrong reasons. Others under consideration include Alabama DT Marcell Dareus, Clemson DE Da'Quan Bowers and LSU CB Patrick Peterson. Keep in mind that new head coach Ron Rivera is a defensive-minded guy and may push for a [sic] impact talent on that side of the ball, especially up front.

Gabbert is surging up to #1 across a TON of mocks. I've been tracking it from a mock draft compilation JOAT shared. It's crazy.

http://www.dcprosportsreport.com/MockDraft.htm

With Gabbert's recent #1s, he has held the lead in #1 forecasts to us roughly since his Pro Day.

According to the above link, in the month of March, Cam Newton has had 43 mocks place him at #1, Gabbert has had 37 (almost all in the last few weeks), Fairley has had 25 (almost all of them earlier in the month), Bowers has had 36 (ALL of them at the start of the month), and 29 for Dareus who has surged as the other big pick other than Gabbert.

Many of these mocks are updating more than once a month now. heh.

      Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season.    I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward.    Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."     But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example.    Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season.  You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth.  Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline.    That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms.    Have a wonderful night everyone

      Will history repeat itself and Carolina make it to NFCCG this year?
