How long will the Panthers officially take to pick the #1 draft selection?

Most teams already know who they'll take, and the clock only runs down a few seconds before the pick is made. I remember one year it took about 5 minutes to make the first pick, and I still have no idea why. I think it was the Raiders picking Jamarcus Russell. Anyway, can you guess how much time will run off the clock before the pick is officially made?

    Remember a few years back the Texans made their pick a couple days before the draft!I feel that might be what the Panthers do.

    9:39 The Panthers will know before who they will pick, but they will look long for a trade, most picks are simply coming of the teams big board, teams generally takes the highest player on this board. The reason it takes time is that most teams want to explore the trade scenarios out there.

    they want to make sure they know what they're doing. if they pick cam newton over gabbert and realize jake locker was better then both of them, then the panthers will be disappointed. they will never make up there mind being the #1 pick until they submit there pick on the 28th. lets just hope they pick a good QB for that 2-14 team

    Lol jamarcus Russell.. but the panthers probably have 1-3 draftees in mind but... it all comes down to if you wanna make it final.. so if their confident it will be quick but if they need to think it over maybe 3-5.

    A couple minutes usually. The time run off is usually trades coming in for the pick.

    This year's a little tougher cause there's no clear number 1. I'll say 4 minutes 42 seconds.

    6 min 39 seconds. Pick will be traded.

    Not long unless they get trade offers, and I doubt that with it being illegal to trade current players with no free agency.

    they will take a few minutes to see if they can make a trade. if not theyll just go ahead and take Newton

    not that I care about the Panthers, but I really hope they don't screw up and take Newton
