So, I made my own mock draft

1-Rod Wright DT Texas- I like him over Harris and Watson

2-Charles Spencer G Pittsburgh- What I've seen, agile big man

3-Manny Lawson DE NC St.- It be nice to have 4 good DE's

4-Maurice Drew RB/KR UCLA- Maybe the poor man's Reggie Bush, but he impresses me

5-Garett Mills H-B Tulsa- We need an H-Back IMO

7-Joe Klopfenstein TE Colorado- Cool name...a good showing in the Big XII Championship Game

I'm bored and hate the offseason

I want responses :039:

1. IMO gone by the 27th, he'll be the second tackle gone in the draft after Hgata.

2. Spencer isn't what I'd call 2nd round talent.

3. Manny Lawson is a bit small and we don't really need another DE

4.Gone by the third.

6. we don't have a 6th

7. Klopfenstein will be gone by the end of the third.

Rod Wright hasn't shown it. He's got the physical tools, but I don't know if he's there mentally.

Spencer...why do we need a guard? There's a lot of talk about taking a Tackle in R1 or 2 and moving Wharton back to guard...There are much better players sitting around at that point.

Lawson will be gone in the top 50 picks.

Drew will be snapped up by the 3rd latest.

Mills is interesting, though there will be others on the board.

And Klopfenstein will be gone by the end of day 1.

bunkley = physical stud. 4.99 40 and 44 reps on the press (only Mike Kudla, a de, did better with 45 reps and he ran a 4.76 40). i think bunkley should be a guy to trade up for if we are thinking that we need a stud dt. he should be avalible around when we pick, but i have a feeling he will be picked around 18-24. i think kc will take a look at him, as well as the bengals and maybe even tampa depending on what hte do with mcfarland this off season.

kulda is a guy that i hadnt heard of before this, anyone got any info on what round he projects to be taken in?

After seeing his work out at the combine. I'm really debating weather we should take him or Watson.

Bunkley is one of the hottest players in the draft right now. I have seen him middle to late in the most recent mocks. I have also heard speculation of him just being a workout warrior, but his game film was pretty impressive as well from what I've seen. I would love to have him in Carolina.

I was reading the thread who wants a first rounder? (good write up btw) and it got me to thinking that A LOT of our starters have been drafted by us instead of brought in as free agents. As I looked around the league the most successful teams such as Pittsburgh pats iggles are the ones that draft well (ground breaking i know) and teams that bring in high profile free agents cowbitches and redskins might get a lot of hype but there never really contenders.

So since we have drafted so well I believe that the panthers will win the super bowl soon hopefully this year and the next and the next and the next......

(knock on wood)

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
