patterson may fall out of the first...

He's way to raw and unproven to go in the first, never once understood why he has getting so much love, is he tall with decent speed? Yes, probably is the best WR in the draft in regards to that, but I want more info on a guy before we spend our only pick in the first of him I want someone like Hopkins or Austin who are not only exceptional talents but has shown consistent improvement.

The way I see it with either Austin or Hopkins worst case we get a mid rang #1 WR or a good #2 Wr, but with Patterson he could be a complete bust, so no thank you.

I dunno if he'll fall out of the 1st, but I definitely don't want to spend a 1st round pick on him. Raw, unproductive, and immature - not a good combination. The draftniks have been hyping him and Austin a lot, but really, no one knows who the 1st WR off the board will be. It would not surprise me at all if Allen, Hopkins or Hunter took their place.

Outside of Clausen, Jarrett, and Brown we've had great success with picking players that fell to the second round.

Our second round drafting has been terrible in the last 10 years.

Eric Shelton, Bruce Nelson, Kerry Colbert, Everett Brown, Jimmy Clausen....that us year after year if second round suckage.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
