quality edit, as always bp. thanks for sharing

This may be my favorite to date took an offered trade back, planning to snag Jalon Walker, but with Graham still there, I'd much prefer that pick I'm high on Starks in the 1st too, since the safety room could be decimated, but if they can squeeze back in the range to snag Emmanwori, easy pick Deone Walker is my preferred NT. Really hope we grab a big body from somewhere that can take Tuttle's starting gig Kennard will need time, but should have the tools to be a good edge in a few years. Coming out of SC probably doesn't hurt since Panthers generally value locals to talent We're all drafting Skattebo, which probably means he's going much earlier than he's generally being mocked Jared Wilson has also been my preferred C. Let Corbett walk, run with Mays and the rookie TE, CB and WR depth to round out the draft If TE RJ Maryland from SMU goes undrafted, snag that dude

Two recent mocks I've done and liked.

Starks is not getting enough attention here. Edges, unless freaks, are not usually day 1 starters, and the safety position has the possibility to be even more thin than edge. Starks could be there at 8 and would probably start immediately.

i do too, just not sure what anybodys gonna be trading up for at that point. we'll see

he's mocking in a tough spot for us, right now anyway

still assuming they're running a similar 3-4 to what they run today

stackhouse looks like a great, late NT option, but no DL help until the 5th would be a hard pill to swallow. we would have to have an absolute stunning off-season and FA period to make that feel alright

not as D heavy as most (including myself) would probably like to see, but right now... I'd be pretty happy with this

gotta figure out what's happening with the defense this off-season. evero staying? 3-4 staying? those are important questions that nobody on this board has an answer for yet, and that needs to be answered before we can really start speculating (i realize i am saying this while actively running and posting mock drafts ) i think mason graham is a phenomenal athlete, but less of a NT than what i think we'd need if we're staying a 34 front. i think he makes sense if we're returning to a 4-3, but that's a MASSIVE if regardless of how much the fandom thinks it should come back and will fix all of our woes i also love deone walker, and my argument is basically the exact opposite of the above. 34, let's go... clogs the middle, let's the LBs play more freely and we could use an upgrade over tuttle. 43? he could still be fit in, but it's probably not the greatest of fits this is basically just the bpa argument. if you're just taking the best athlete, system be damned, you end up with jeremy chinn who never finds a role on the roster, wastes his rookie contract and then we wave goodbye and watch them get picked up by a system who can actually use them properly
