sirebors Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I realize these are just opinions from fans, but after checking various message boards of both the Panthers and the Broncos it seems the consensus draft choices are: CAROLINA: A.J. Green Da'Quan Bowers or Cam Newton DENVER: Da'Quan Bowers Robert Quinn Patrick Peterson or trade down and obtain J.J. Watt. Most fans actually want to trade down. And they are really high on Watt. This is interesting because neither teams fans seem to be interested in Nick Fairley or Marcell Dareus or believe they are fits for their teams. Their opionions mean little more than ours, but they are just as knowledgeable about their teams as we are about the Buffalo Bills. http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/carolina-panthers/ http://forums.denverbroncos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 When both teams hire a HC, then it'll be much easier to determine where they go. If they change defenses (CAR was a 43 and DEN was a 34) it changes their draft plans immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I read that both Carolina and Bencer wanted Fairley now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

....lybob Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 If I'm Carolina and I'm sticking with the 4-3 I'm going with Bower because there aren't that many legit 4-3 RDEs out this year. Denver could get a CB 1st and still get a pretty good 3-4 end or 3-4 OLB in the second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Carolina has so many holes, they could go any direction. Since Andrew Luck is out of the picture, (for now anyway), they may decide to give Clausen another shot, add Green, and see what happens. If Clausen busts, then they can go QB the following year, knowing full well they tried with Clausen and have a stud WR with a year of experience under his belt, ready to play with their new QB. Smith is aging and there's no one else behind him. Green fills a need and is brimming with potential. However, in a division where they face stud QBs Brees, Ryan and Freeman twice a year each, they may opt to go for the best pass rusher to counter that and take Bowers. It's a toss up and will come down to the new HC's philosophy and how they grade the prospects on their board. As for Denver, I can see them taking Peterson. Bailey is a free agent and since he's aging, likely will go sign with a contender. Peterson is considered the best CB prospect in quite some time and double as a top notch returner. Peterson is likely to sit atop most draft boards and if Bailey does in fact leave, it would be a foregone conclusion for Denver to fill a huge need with arguably the top prospect in the draft. That leaves Buffalo with options and choices. A trade down scenario could present itself and afford Nix the opportunity to gain a few more picks to build his team. If they stand pat, the Bills have their pick of the draft's top front-seven defenders. It'll come down to who they like best; Fairley, Bowers, Quinn? All three of these guys can play in the 3-4. Maybe Gailey falls in love with Newton, drafts him and has him sit a year under Fitz while he gets coached up to take over in 2012. We know Gailey loves mobile QBs and Newton possesses a big arm, mobility and is coming off a wildly successful season. It's good to have options and the Bills seem poised to have their pick of the lot regardless of how the draft shakes out in front of them.
