Fairley could be the #1 draft pick.

[Chaotic_zx 1,052]

On the front page of ESPN there is a headline saying that he could go #1(Per Mel Kiper) in the NFL draft. I wish him the best of luck when he decides to go. The article is a paid article so I can not read it.

I've been hearing he's at lest a top 5 pick in the first round. I think scouts has him as the 3rd overall pick.

I hope he lands the number 1 draft.he's has earned it..I hate to see him go but being a top 5 pick.I would go too

How AUsome would it be to see Fairley be the FIRST to be taken off the board?

Fairley to the Panthers is unlikely. As a Panthers fan I think we are looking to draft Andrew Luck.

I did not realize that he was projected that high...yeah, I don't think he'll be back, lockout or no lockout. I know I'd go.

I hate to see him go, but no way he's coming back when projected as a top 5 pick. Best of luck to him.

He has definitely earned the pick if he were picked first because he has been the most defender in college football this season.

Pretty amazing considering I don't think anyone predicted him to do so well coming into this year.

While on the subject of him possibly being the first overall pick. Has Auburn had a guy go #1 cause I dont think so

Seems like Aundrey Bruce went first back in the late 80s...

He did. Bo was taken #1 by the Buc's in 1986, and the Falcons took Bruce with the first pick the following year. Back to back #1's. Now that is impressive!

Are you sure? I remember now that Bo was #1 in 86 (I didn't think of it before because he didn't sign with Tampa), but I think Bruce was 88.

1965 Tucker Frederickson to the Giants. #1 overall pick.  Was our only other number #1 overall.

You are right red. For some reason I thought they were back-to-back. I guess I spent to many hours in the teepee in my younger days.

As long as you enjoyed your time in there...

I kinda hate to hear that. He could be gone after we win the National Championship.

Won't go first pick, If Andrew Luck comes out.

Won't go first pick, If Andrew Luck comes out.

That was my thinking also, but if it's Carolina drafting first I doubt they take a QB. They took like 2 or 3 in last year's draft.
