08:03 AM ET 04.06 | With the draft nearing, odds seem to be increasing that the Panthers will select Cam Newton with the first overall pick. But there is a caveat. Owner Jerry Richardson still isn't completely sold on Newton, a source with knowledge of the Panthers' draft plans told CBSSports.com. Still, Richardson will likely defer to his personnel staff, and many of them have met with Newton, and like him. The lockout is damaging the entire league but when it comes to rookies it's Newton who could be hurt more than others. Some teams are concerned if the labor impasse continues into the summer or longer quarterbacks like Newton who will need extensive coaching might suffer more than other rookies.

So, they have given up so quickly on Jimmy Clausen? The guy would have had a chance if he had a little bit of protection. But, hey, go out and draft that new QB. Have fun with JaMarcus Junior.

I agree. This draft is filled with question marks at the QB position, why then if you are the Panthers would you select a ? with the #1 pick when there are a ton of solid players on D that can help you build your team.
The Panthers are not going to be competative this year and probably not next so why would you start with a QB when you already have a decent one who is running for his life every time he takes a snap??

Panthers, be very careful, you can't afford to pick $Cam as the first overall pick in the draft!! IMO, if you do, you will be sorry!!!!
