Will Panthers draft OL or RB?

The general consensus for weeks has been that the Panthers will take an offensive tackle with the 13th pick. That's still probably the leading option. But think about Carolina's lineup next season if they pick Illinois' Rashard Mendenhall or Oregon's Jonathan Stewart with the 13th overall pick. Suddenly, they'd have a big, powerful back to pair with DeAngelo Williams. The new tandem could be formidable and provide the balance needed to free receiver Steve Smith in the passing game, especially with D.J. Hackett and Muhsin Muhammad already on board to lend depth at receiver.

Mendenhall would be a nice addition but they really need a LT or DE.

Anyone would fill a need.

If the line doesn't block, it won't matter who carries the ball.

Here's what I propose:
Panthers Trade Julius Peppers and a 3rd rounder to the NY Jets for their 1st rounder and take Darren McFadden
Then take Ryan Clady with the #13 pick.

If the Panthers want to contend they need to make some big moves. Granted, giving up Pep would be tough, but tell me the Jets wouldn't jump at the opportunity to have someone to go after Brady twice a year.
