09:49 AM ET 04.23 | At some point Friday, Marty Hurney ended up with a dead cell phone. But the Panthers' general manager said it was not the result of fielding a string of calls from teams looking to trade up for the Panthers' No.1 pick. "It's just out of juice," Hurney said Friday in a phone interview - from the land line in his office. Hurney said any calls from possible trade partners likely would not come until next week.

Isn't that amazing? The guy's cell phone needed charging. We're a week away from the NFL draft. There's not more to say about the first pick than "the guy's cell phone turns out to be like everyone elses"?

Wow. What a piece of... in-depth journalism.

I think it's safe to say the interns have stopped caring, too.

Maybe he should call the Dolphins and see if Brandon Marshall is available.

I just read that he was allegedly stabbed by his wife and is in ICU... nothing life-threatening, though.

5 days 6 + hours till the draft!

There's no true stud #1 pick in this draft. Not one. This draft is subpar at the top.

The top ten depth is solid. But I agree there's no player worthy of the #1 overall.

I beg to disagree... My first pick would be Marshalls wife... I would even go as far a saying "I would take a stab at her!!!" this is way more fun than this article....

Newton, one year wonder and considers himself Mr Entertainment, Gabbert, another spread guy, Von Miller, can't play the run, nor pass. who wants to pay a DT 50 million for 40 tackles and 5 sacks a year or risk on another cocky SEC CB? Rookie salary cap makes trading up worth it, instead of teams dreading it. Panthers must still be calling up Luck saying...please...

Those famous and rich Kids who grew up in ghetto need to be treated like they are Gods especially by their wives and girlfriends or mistresses. All Gold digger women take notice. Be prepared for your new God or troubles. Probably no decient women marry or date those guys. All those women has in their headS is a $ SIGN.
