    "As enticing as it might be for the Carolina Panthers to think about drafting a potential franchise quarterback, they're faced with questions beyond whether Cam Newton or Blaine Gabbert might be that guy.

    The Panthers also have to consider whether they'd be better served trying to add multiple players instead, and using the demand for quarterbacks to make a deal when the draft begins April 28.

    Trading out of the top spot could become as much of a choice as deciding which player better suits their needs, specifically with the number of teams looking for a quarterback.

    Andrew Luck could have made this an easy call if he had left school early, as the Panthers had already set their sights on the Stanford quarterback. But in his absence, there are varying opinions on which quarterback is the best in this class.

    What can't be argued is the need, as at least eight of the top 12 teams in the draft and perhaps more have reason to draft a passer."
