What position will they take with the first pick in the draft?
What will the Carolina Panthers do?
As I said in the “What would you do if you were the Carolina Panthers GM?” topic, the Panthers GM Marty Hurney has said he is still undecided on what to do with the first overall pick in this year’s draft. So unlike in the topic I previously mentioned where I asked what you would do, here I want you to predict what the Panthers will do, what position will they take and who? Or will they trade down and accept picks with a lower value than the first overall pick?
For me I think they’ll take Cam Newton with the pick, the amount of times I’ve seen headlines saying that’s who they want, and the amount of mock drafts I’ve seen that have the Panthers taking him, just makes me think there’s something in it, and although it’s not what I would do if he reaches his potential then the Panthers will have made the right pick and they’ll have found their franchise quarterback.

Re: What will the Carolina Panthers do?
QB for me too, and Newton as well. Fully agree with Derbyblue that the number of mocks predicting this are difficult to ignore. The one interesting thing I have read though is that Mike Mayock isn't sold on the idea that the Panthers will take him. His knowledge of the players is pretty good and his draft (when he releases it) could be an interesting read.
The tight-end answer is even more intriguing than my offensive line answer on the other thread.

Re: What will the Carolina Panthers do?
I saw that headline too about Mike Mayock, my only problem is he doesn't have a draft and instead has his list of the top 32 prospects in the draft.
I was interested by the Tight End pick too, someone chose Tight End in the other poll but haven't seen any posts where people have said they would pick Tight End, I also don't see a Tight End worth the first overall pick, I don't think I've seen very many drafts where Rudolph has been taken in the first round and he is the top Tight End in this years draft.

I know Mayock has only done a top 32 prospects so far but I was listening to one of Rich Eisen's podcasts and he claimed that Mayock would release a mock draft on Wednesday. If I find it I'll flag it up here.
I think, as I put in my mock, that Atlanta will take Rudolph in the first round as Tony Gonzalez has said he will retire if there is any significant delay to the season and even if not has only one year left in him anyway. Certainly can't see the Panthers taking him. Maybe Rudolph is a member on here and is trying to engineer himself a move up the board.

Cheers GB1919, I'll be checking the NFL site on Wednesday then looking out for his draft.
Good point hadn't taken the retirement of Gonzalez into account, it would be good for him to get an extra season in the league. They do have quite a few Tight Ends though, but I expect getting Rudolph in would be the most sensible replacement for Gonzalez. I think that's probably not the easiest way of increasing your draft stock, but Hurney might be checking the web for a bit of inspiration which means if he's paying attention to what we would do they're going D-line, but they may be paying attention to our predictions then they're going QB.
