We are now just hours away until the Carolina Panthers will get the ball rolling on another NFL Draft. But who will they pick? According to an ESPN article, the Cats have their choice narrowed down to four possibilities: Auburn's Cam Newton, Alabama's Marcel Dareus, LSU's Patrick Peterson, and Georgia's A.J. Green. 

Many believe Newton will be the pick but I'm not sure if this is the right way to go. For one, the Panthers drafted a QB last year in Jimmy Clausen. Carolina needs help in a lot of areas, but I believe defense leads to offense, so I would love to see them select either Patrick Peterson or Marcel Dareus. I have always thought that, in any sport, a team's defense is the key to success. Cam does also have some baggage he would likely bring with him. The main reason for me is the fact that the Cats already drafted a QB last year and they really need to focus on defense this year.
