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

Can of worms officially opened.

1st. Alshon Jeffrey WR USC

2nd. Xavier Rhodes CB FSU

4th. Jerry Franklin OLB Arkansas

5th. Blake Gideon S Texas

6th. Josh Oglesby RT Wisconsin

7th. Jaymes Brooks OG Virginia Tech

I don't want a WR with weight issues. No thanks to Jeffery at all in the next draft. Do not want at all. Plus not enough defense. That's how many holes the defense has.

De, DT, OLB, CB and S are all needs.

Not only is it hard to talk draft in October, but to evaluate college talent and who will be there only becomes a pissing match. That being said, I still think we end up 5-11 and with a top-6 pick. I think we have to take the BPA/franchise player that is either a WR, DT, OL or CB. It's so tough right now because of injuries and youth.

WR - Gettis is injured and we don't know if he's a true game changer or a complimentary player. LaFell has been an enigma and the jury is still out on him as a true #2.

DT - 2 rookies (albeit mid-rounders versus top-10) and who knows if they are Warren Sapp in the waiting or Gerard Warren. Edwards is 32, but could be a stop-gap if this class of DT's are reaches, allowing us to maybe re-visit DT in '13.

OL - The elephant in the room. Gross will be 32 when the season starts which is okay, but eventually a replacement needs to be groomed. If Otah can't stay healthy, maybe drafting Kalil and sliding Gross over to RT is better forward thinking.

CB - Seemed like our biggest glaring hole but our crew has maintained the ship. Gamble's game has been solid, but he (like Gross) will soon start to decline. If Butler and Hogan are what we hope they can be, allowing Captain to slide into the nickel or dime, we might not need a CB this draft year.

If the draft was today, I would go Blackmon or Kalil. Thus far, none of the collegiate DT's have impressed me and as we've seen with Newton, Peppers, and Gross, if you're picking top-10, you better make a splash. Whomever is there when we pick, that fills a need (except OLB) will make me happy.

Matt Kalil, Justin Blackmon, or Dre Kirpatrick

How fast is Jefferey? A Fat WR is scary, anyone know where Jarrett is these days? Is he playing in Canada or just drunk in a bar somewhere?

EDIT: looked it up, 4.56 which is in Dwayne Jarrett land. If he's fat and has a reputation for being lazy, no thank you.

Personally, I would draft Matt Kalil OT with out first round pick. Trade next years 1st for Brandon Thompson DT, then pick up Chase Minnifield, CB/KR in the 2nd. I know cringe trading next years 1st, but if we get all the pieces we need these year, we wont have to wish and hope next year.

[OneBadassCat]

If we get the 4th pick we could probably trade back to 9 or 10 and get another 2nd or 3rd.

[Nicbsbll2]

DT-Unless there is a Warren Sapp or N. Suh type of tackle, we'd be better off getting a veteran in free agency. (We're letting McClain and Fua play this year so they'll be better off next year, right?)

DE- With CJ and Hardy, it would be a waste drafting a DE this high.

The first pick should be the best one of these: OLB, OT, WR or S.

[FugginPoo]

We are good enough at safety, unless there is an Ed Reed game changer type.

CB, OLB and DT are our defensive needs.

OT and WR are our Offensive needs.

[TylerVagyler]

Trade down and then draft Tyrann Mathieu

Come on man. Not enough defense? I just don't see us drafting a DT with a high pick. Defensive end will also not be a pick early. Lastly i don't get the weight issue crap. Jeez man there is a huge difference in the college 15 and NFL ready. Alshon fits exactly what Cam needs a big tall WR that can make circus catches and go up and get em. I mean i understand to justify taking a DT, DE or for christsakes a LB with a top 5 pick or passing on a top WR you have to tear them down a little but lets be real.

[CPF4LIFE]

Just read the Rams are trying to pull off a trade for Brandon Lloyd, so they might pass on Blackmon if they end up picking before us.

[FugginPoo]

Some Mocks have Floyd from Notre Dame being first WR taken

[CPF4LIFE]

We drafted 2 rookie DTs that are taken majority of snaps this year just to turn around and draft there replacement next year? We have one guy that we did pick up in free agency that hasnt even seen the field yet. I just think the D line needs more veteran presence not anymore inexperience. This is just not a defensive draft like last year, especially if your picking high.

Can of worms part two.

1. Andrew Luck /Savior, Phins

2. Matt Kalil / Protector, Rams

3. Quinton Coples / Aggressor, Colts
