With the Senior Bowl taking place last weekend, every team in the NFL not named the Packers or Steelers is in a feeding frenzy over fresh meat about to head into the league. The NFL Draft is just two months away, and the Carolina Panthers have perhaps the most pressure of any other team this year in deciding which direction to go with the No. 1 overall pick.

The hyped prediction right now is that the Panthers will search for their next franchise quarterback with the top pick in April’s draft. With Jimmy Clausen not measuring up to standards and a golden opportunity to find talent elsewhere, the Panthers could opt to trade down for Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, giving them some flexibility for future positions in draft picks. They could also lure a trade with another team in exchange for the draft pick, selecting to go with a veteran quarterback for next season.

Of course, there’s also the chance that the Panthers will stick with Jimmy Clausen (after all, rookie years are supposed to be tough, right?). If this happens and the Panthers keep their No. 1 pick, there are a few standout players above the rest of the pack in positions the team could use. Most notably, these include defensive end Da’Quan Bowers (Clemson), defensive tackle Nick Fairley (Auburn) and wide receiver E.J. Green (Georgia).

What will the Panthers do with that coveted No. 1 pick? Stick around as more developments emerge.
