Don't assume the Panthers first pick...

[(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻]

Is that some David DeCastro?

Hurney is just giving you the standard BPA speech and the old we look at all sides and make the best decision. Right until the end last year Hurney kept talking about narrowing his pick down to five guys when it seemed clear Newton was going to be the one. He is not going to give anything away or narrow his choices in January.

They do however had needs that MUST be addressed. The wisest move would be find a solid DT and CB in free agency (not the top FAs, we know as longtime Panther fans that's not happening. Just solid healthy players). That would open the big board up to BPA.

is it april yet?

[BHiott]

...The truth is that this league has changed alot in the past 2 or 3 years, and having a dominant offense is how you win in the NFL now. Out score your opponents...

No, that's how you sell tickets/merchandise. Not win. Two of the top offenses are out while two of the top defenses are playing today.

-Sigh-

BPA! And don't fugg it up..We do not have a pick that we "need" to make necessarily.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Ron Rivera even said that beefing up the lines is essential esp offense. Wharton is breaking down, Otah is unreliable, Gross is diminishing.

Among many other needs it could be the thing that makes the team elite: Having an awsome line. Eats up the clock and alllows Carolina to dictate tempo all game.

Personally I think we need to trade out of this spot.

past 8/9 picks since 2008

Jake Locker

Tyron Smith

Rondo Mclain

CJ Spiller

Eugene Monroe

BJ Raji

Derrick Harvey

Keith Rivers

it'll be a good move to find a future LT and move Gross over.. I highly doubt Otah is the future, even with work ethic the dude has shown injuries are a major concern.

[LelouchBritannia]

I would love me some David Decastro, dude is looking to be Will Shields calibur and would instantly solidify the middle of our line. Kalil Wharton Decastro Gross and Otah(hopefully he stays healthy) would be the top 2 or 3 line in the NFL.

[PhillyB]

guessing is pointless until we see what happens in the free agency period before the draft

[jasonluckydog]

We should trade the 1st for more picks and try to get another 1st pick next season.

[SOJA]

So WR, OT or defense

[ladypanther]

Hope someone is left on the board another team desperately needs and we do not. Trading down and getting a couple more good picks would be great.
