With the 9th pick of the 2012 NFL draft the Carolina Panthers select......

[Strawman]

Well if were using homerism as a draft crieria, then I want Curry from Marshall.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

no teams going to trade with us

i don't know about that. i'm pretty confident that we'll get a call from new england when it's their turn to pick in the 3rd round

[Catalyst]

Steve Smith ain't getting any younger

Hell yes. Blackmon would be a STEAL at 8/9 and if we pass on him to reach for a defensive player I'll be pissed.

[Argus Plexus]

We pick 8th...

[Guest Irv]

We pick 8th...

we only pick 8th if we beat miami in a coin toss at the combine

Eh? Not sure if trolling...

We're tied with Miami, the tiebreaker will be at the combine. No one is trolling.

Tiebreakers

• Strength of schedule for the previous season is the first tie-breaker for teams with the same winning percentage. The team with the lowest strength of schedule percentage wins the tiebreaker and picks ahead of all other teams with the same record.

• Divisional and conference records are the next step in the tie-breaking procedure.

• As a last resort, a coin toss is used to determine the order of selection for teams with the same winning percentage.

:cool:

We're completely neck and neck with...Miami? Oh god, it's worse than I thought.

ABANDON SHIP!!!!!

JUST KIDDING

It might not be too hard. The top rated projected OLB on most sites (Melvin Ingram) runs a 4.8.

Ingram is a DE/3-4 pass rushing OLB. No more tweeners please unless we actually switch to the 3-4 and in that case I'd probably rather have Courtney Upshaw.

I didn't say for us, I'm just saying the player he's mentioning won't be too hard to transition because of his 40 speed, because the guy that more than a few major draft sites are projecting as the top rated OLB is even slower. That was when he was pushing 290 though, so it should be a bit faster now.

Then again, there's plenty of OLBs in the league that do a good job with 4.7-4.8 speed. It's lateral speed that matters with them, not 40.

But if we were to take one of those players, I'd rather take Ingram than Upshaw, because of said versatility.

CB or Offense tackle which ever one grades out the highest.

This is in order the things we have to do to win the superbowl next year.

1)Bring Reggie White back from the dead.

2)Clone Jerry Rice in his prime.

3)Find a 7'4" 400+ lbs DT.

4)Trade Jimmy Clausen to the Jets for Revis and Martin to the Eagles for Asomugah.

5)Wake up from dream. :(

I think we can get a great CB and safety in the 2nd and 3rd round. I wouldn't be suprised if we go BPA in the 1st round. I would love to see us get a great CB in the draft.

I don't think we need coples at all.
