Needs: DT, DE, WR, CB.
Potential Options Still Available: Fletcher Cox, Stephon Gilmore, Melvin Ingram, Quenton Coples,
The 2011 season was one of excitement for the Carolina Panthers organization, as the team received a jolt of energy from the no.1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Cam Newton, who not only won the rookie of the year award but also revitalized the hopes of a city and it's football team.

This year, I yelled at the TV as well... but this time it was out of pure excitement. Jeff Lurie and company finally made a move I agree with. They finally made a move to take a legitimate player who has a chance to make an instant impact on this team...
