NFL Draft: Bad Year For Panthers To Pick First

http://66.225.205.104/SG20110428.mp3

The NFL draft gets underway tonight in New York. The Carolina Panthers will pick first. They earned that right after having the league's worst record last year. Everyone thought Carolina would draft Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. But he threw a wrench in those plans when he decided to stay in school one more year. Ever since, debate has raged over who the Panthers should pick. Among those weighing has been Steve Reed, who covers The Panthers for The Gaston Gazette. He spoke with WFAE's Scott Graf.
