So who would you like the Panthers to draft with our 4th overall pick?

Little premature. We've been a second half team before. Look at the 2009 season.

As far as who I want, I want a solid DT or a linebacker with the first pick. WR just isn't smart, considering the depth and youth of our receivers. Sure, an Alshon or Blackmon would INSTANTLY improve our WRs, but we have bigger needs. Need DT/LB first and foremost. Then, in the 2nd round, we take which ever we didn't take in the first round between DT/LB. 3rd round, we take a DB/WR/OL. Whichever position has the best guy. After that, it's just depth wherever we need it.

Olsen was our third round pick....and well worth it....

i would take blackmon/jeffery or trade back no more than 3 spots to ensure we get whichever one is still available. gotta make sure we have a franchise WR after smitty leaves.

then we'll have two high seconds where we can draft a OLB (doubt zack brown will fall that far - maybe travis lewis? idk). could also grab a DT or CB. CB is fairly deep this year and DT is really, really bad. might not be one to go in the top 20 picks unless someone begins to play out of their mind and/or has an excellent combine.

      SI Panthers Mock Draft

      Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses.  In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands.  T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL.   Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level.  Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is.  It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general.  You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth.  I have no issue with people wanting other players over T-Mac, or just not wanting him at all.  But they need to be logical reasons, not made up ones in your head because you don't actually know the player and his abilities.
