None of the above.
Either trade up with Buffalo to get Clady ahead of Denver, or drop back 4-7 picks and take whichever of these guys is left.

Trade back get more picks and who ever is there when you pick get them.

Jonathan Stewart
Would be nice to trade back and still get him though.

Jeff Otah all the way, the game is won and lost in the trenches. It is a move that fills both a need and helps both the passing and running games.

Derrick Harvey, We are horrible at pass rush and need some fresh blood and before Jake got injured our O-Line was doing great just look at his stats. DL is a must particularly at DT but we need our DE's to come back and make our Line the legendary feared DL it once was.

Draft DE Harvey or trade up for QB Ryan (if he falls to 8th) or trade back for RB Stewart and one extra pick.

Rashard Mendenhall, i think this guy has some serious ability

Mendenhall, then trade back into the first round and grab the best OT available.

Have to go with Otah.

Jonathan Stewart RB
At #13 he's a steal... biggest bang for the buck. We'd then have the real "two headed monster" set for years... the previous one was a pretender.

Since the Tackle position is deep and the DE position is not, take DE Harvey.
Then take your 2nd & 3rd round picks to trade back up (with San Diego or Dallas) into the first round and take OT Gosder Cherilus.
In the 3rd round take DT Dre Moore from Maryland.
And in the 4th take RB Matt Forte, a powerback from Tulane.

I'll tell you who I like for Carolina:
Rd.1- Rashard Mendenhall, RB (Ill.)
Rd.2- Sam Baker, OT (USC)
Rd.3- Tyrell Johnson, S (Ark. St.)
Rd.3- Marcus Harrison, DT (Arkansas)
Rd.4- Josh Johnson, QB (U. San Diego)
Rd.5- Chris Ellis, DE (VT)
Rd.6- Vince Hall, ILB (VT)
Rd.7- Mario Urrutia, WR (Louisville)
It fills in all of Carolina's holes, and they are all potential starters at the pro level. GO PANTHERS!!!

Depending who is highest on the Panthers' board, I'd go with Stewart, Otah, or Harvey. I would lean toward Otah, just because I think he's a bigger NEED for the team at this point. However, Hurney has a good history in the 1st round, so I have confidence in his draft board.
