Realistic but unlikely best-case-scenario Panthers draft

[Ivan The Awesome]

What I don't understand is, why would the bucs want Trent over a bigger need in claiborne?

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Panthers should trade their future first rounders for the next 30+ year and have every pick in the first round this year.

That wouldn't be so bad

[Herbert The Love Bug]

completely unrealistic but a better scenario, imo.

trade w/ bengals to get their 2 firsts.

trade clausen and connor for someone's 3rd. (maybe the seahawks...i don't really care. just find a dumb team to do it)

pick up jared gaither (OT), antonio garay (DT), and steve gregory (S & ST ace) from chargers. pick up connor barth to replace mare. (none of these FAs should be all that expensive and all would help. gaither is the only one who might cost a pretty penny but a history of back problems might make him a bit affordable)

first round pick up janoris jenkins and either brockers or poe.

2nd round zack brown or lavonte david (thomas davis 2.0)

3rd round george iloka (FS/SS)

4th round joe adams (wr/pr)

5th round chris rainey (scatback/WR/KR/punt blocker extraordinaire)

6th round mitchell schwartz (OT/OG)

7th round ryan miller (OG/OT)

udfa brad nortman (punter w/ killer hang time)

That would be the greatest draft ever

I think it's realistic to trade up with New England. We will probably have to give up our 2nd rounder this year plus a pick next year. The Claiborne part is a reach.

Jenkins at #9

Brockers or Still #27

same reason people keep on giving us a WR in those mocks that are still doing that (like those jokers over at fantasy football toolbox who think the #1 priority is getting cam another WR weapon).

LOL good ol Ray.

hmmm...with the schiano hiring there might be some truth to the bucs drafting richardson.

as much as i don't want to have to deal with him in the NFCS, i'd rather the bucs take him rather than do something smart to help them stop us from our cam newton led blitzkrieg.

What is Jeff Fisher's first round draft history, just curious

[Dpantherman]

OK Just found it. I think he'll take the best player available on D: http://www.clanram.com/forums/f85/jeff-fisher-draft-history-titans-47393/

There are some offensive players, but the defense wins in this one.

8 defense (3 DBs, 3 DEs, 1 LB, 1 DT) and 6 offense (2 QBs, 2 RBs, 2 WRs)

there is a lot of dispute ofver who was pulling the strongs in their drafts, though. many think it was bud adams making the picks. i know bud was the driving force behind drafting VY.

[Actionman0z]

Our 2nd rounder and a mid round pick does not equal the 27th overall selection. Do you not remember us trading our 2nd round pick plus next years 1st round selection to move back into the 1st round? Some peoples draft pick value perception are so skewed. Would never happen. Also, Belicheck would have no use for Clausen.. that would not sweeten the deal.. it would sour the deal.

Rams would not trade to miss out on both Kalil and Blackmon. JMHO.

[Clicheking]

Patriots would do that trade, the love taking picks from our dumb asses.

[Montsta]

As someone else said, I think a more likely scenario is if the Bengals fall in love with someone at the combine and trade us their two firsts for our #8, if we win the coin flip. They basically got one of them for free for trading a guy sitting on his couch in Palmer, so that might have at least some sort of impact on their willingness to part with it. Then if we got a top DB (Claiborne or Kirkpatrick, etc.) and then Mercilus or Brockers, that would be awesome.

[MrBubba]

The Bucs would be absolutely retarded if they passed on Claiborne to take Richardson.

Wow you asked and answered your own question very efficient
