The Panthers are hard to figure. Every starter on their defense is a guy they drafted and not one is older than 28. Yet they were awful on Defense last season. Where do you go from that situation?

So I'd say Reiff. Their starting RT is an UDFA. The rest of their oline are long time veterans.

lmao. Wow. I thought I'd be alone in suggesting CAR goes for a T in the draft. With a running QB like Cam, it makes perfect sense to me that they'd take a good outside blocker for him

but he only has 1 vote... the deception...

surprised people going DT, they are loaded at NT and DT. are we just picking the one on top? or does carolinas DT's suck? I went CB as I think they could use a solid #1#2 CB tandem.

Like I said the Panthers are hard to figure. They have Chris Gamble, 28, a first round selection and Sherrod Martin, 27, a 2nd round pick.

I guess they could trade one of them to us for Kevin Kolb and draft Stephon Gilmore or Dre Kirkpatrick. Do either of them return punts?

Isn't it funny how we always preach BPA, but when evaluating other teams, we always seem to think they will go with a need?

yes ...i think best player available is kuechly..and then the head coach rovera was alinebacker coach so i can see them taking this great talented player

That's because we want all the other teams to screw up.

 

[WildBB]

At #9 is where things really start getting interesting.

I put Coples, but it could be any of a half dozen or so here.

I think it would be Floyd if he's still here but he's picked, so they go D line.

 

[WildBB]

By the way BRR, Gilmore is the 2nd rated CB prospect almost unanimously by the pundits.

 

[Pariah]

Coples.

Even years later I think the Panthers miss Peppers.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Fletcher Cox

 

[Jetstream Green]

I honestly think they feel a need for a pass rusher, a good pass rush makes a good secondary

 

[Billy Bob]

Quinton Coples

 

[Duckjake]

Coples.

Yeah, I take back my Tackle prediction. Didn't notice their pass rush from their OLB's was so weak. Ingram goes here. Coples if he can translate to a 3-4 OLB. Otherwise they have plenty of 3-4 Defensive Ends. They got something like 19-20 sacks from their DE's last season.

Their LBs were so bad that profootball-reference only lists names for two of the 4 LB positions in pfr's list of Carolina's 2011 starters.

My ignorance: I thought they ran a 4-3. That changes my thoughts on Coples to Carolina.

carolina is playing 4 3 defense

 

[Pariah]

Oh. Then Duckjake is ignorant. News flash!

 

[juza76]

Oh. Then Duckjake is ignorant. News flash!

also in the roster of the official site u can see players like applewhite norwood johsoson and hardy all listed as defensive end

If so then nfl.com has their depth chart wrong.

the last season they have played 4-3 defense..if they are going to switch to 3/4 is not official yet

 

[BigRedRage]

most votes of any pick but too close to call, staying open for now. Will re evaluate at 50 votes.

I thought BPA was DeCastro, so that is who I went with.

i think someone made a selection considering they are playing 3/4 defense

 

[joeshmo]

They are? They couldn't even find a starting duo they liked last year and were switching and flopping all over the place every week just to find a set. One of the worst rushing D's in the NFL and created absolutely zero pressure. Their young guys didn't show much promise for the future either.
