It was about time the Carolina Panthers and their fans got Luck-y. Get it? No? Okay, don’t worry about it. It wasn’t that good.
Either way, the Panthers have officially wrapped up the No. 1 overall pick in the draft and are now on the clock. Their season was over long ago, but they worried the fanbase by actually winning a couple games. But, thanks to wins by the Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals, the Panthers cannot be overtaken as the worst team in the league.
So, let the speculation begin. Who do the Panthers take and, absent a new CBA, give nearly $55 million guaranteed?
Right now, the most likely selection is Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. (Do you get the joke from earlier?) However, Luck is a junior and has not said one way or another whether or not he plans to leave school early.
But really, why wouldn’t he? He should see what happened to Jake Locker and think better of actually staying in school. Had Locker come out last year, there’s a good chance he, and not Sam Bradford, would have been the No. 1 pick. He’d be sitting pretty with $50 million in guaranteed money and not a lot to worry about.
Instead, he’s probably going to fall to the middle or tail-end of the first round, if not all the way to the second
