What is it going to be next year? Are we going to hold the #1 pick again?

What's guaranteeing that the Panthers are going to be holding a high pick next year? I never understood the "Hurrff we gonna draft BPA then draft Luck next year Hurrff"

Is it something I've missed, or is it assumed that we're going to be in the drafting position to grab a top QB prospect next year?

I've never understood this faulty logic.

No matter whom we draft this year, we cannot sign them until there is a CBA. If one is not reached ( or imposed) by the 2012 draft, all this years draftees will have to re-enter that draft.(unless the draft itself is ruled illegal). While there is little chance that this will occur, it would certainly lead to a loaded draft next year.

Re: the bolded part above...I don't believe this is true. My understanding is they would still be on the books as the team's selection and would just need to be signed.

Correct me if I am wrong.

This is according to Gil Brandt on Sirius. Drafted players have until the next draft to sign or go back into the next draft. Undrafted players, who cannot be signed now either( although teams will undoubtably have wink and nod agreement,) would continue to be free agents and not go back into the draft.

This really makes sense when you think about it. If all a player had to do was refuse to sign with their drafted team and could become a free agent after a year, no 1st rounder would ever sign.

That would be wild. Seems they would then have to have the equivalent of a 14 round draft, with round 1A and 1B etc. through round 7.

Short of doing this doubling up, some really good players (i.e. normal 3rd to 4th round quality) would be falling into the free agent pool.

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
