Mel Kiper Jr. Mock Draft 1.0 has us taking Andrus Peat

[d-dave]

If the best player is an OT, then cool.  I'm really starting to trust DG in the draft room....  

 

Personally, I'd love to see a LT come out of the draft and FA.  I'd love to get more speed and depth out of the draft (especially football speed).  It would be great if we could get a compliment to Olsen who can make a 2 TE set a better passing set to go with KB.  Finally, I'd love a returner.  I'd like someone who has experience going crazy on returns in major conferences.  

 

I'm going to put my trust in gettlemagic!

Especially this early

 

 

Yeah, mock drafts in January are just silly. I get that it's good fodder for discussion, but we're so early in the process there's no way to predict what team needs will be (until after FA) and how these kids will ultimately test out.

you set the bar pretty high there, at this point I would settle for someone who can call for a fair catch and then catch the ball

Looks like he's getting ready for a big sumo match

you are fooling yourself if you think Peat makes it past the top 20 picks.so,the Panthers drafting Peat at their current draft position is a moot point.

I hate Mel Kiper , yet another pretend professional to act like a dick for the next few months

[Jackofalltrades]

Won't drop to 25, IMO.

[Mr. Scot]

I don't buy that he drops that far, either.

 

Buuut stranger things have happened.

I've seen Peat mocked to us and a few months ago I was on his bandwagon but since he got owned by speed rushers ( Utah game I believe) I don't know if we need him. Considering this draft has better OT prospects than last year I see no reason why we couldn't find someone else actually worth a 1st round pick or probably find one in the 2nd round that could start for us.

I wonder if Getts would ever consider trading up in the first for anyone? If so, which player would be worth it and how far could /would he move? I don't see him doing a Julio Jones type trade. He seems too patient to risk a big part of our future for just 1 player.

yeah,Utahs Nate Orchard (18.5 sacks 2014) got the best of Peat in pass protection but Peat owned his arse in the run game.so, there is a legit concern that Peat doesn't get low enough (knees) making him vulnerable to the inside speed rush and especially at the point of attack (bull rush) because his shoulder pads are too high.however,he might very well be the best run blocking left tackle in college.and i forsee any rookie tackle we draft to be groomed at RT in order to allow them the opportunity to improve their technique and become adjusted to the speed of the NFL.so,with Peat the worst case scenario is a future stud at RT,imo.IF this kid is sitting there at 25...i can only hope nippleshorts drafts him,but that is a mighty big if.

Tj Clemmings would be ideal. Nobody saw star falling. And at this point last year kelvin was projected much higher, though his stock became volatile later on te process

Guys with high grades who would be ideal are Clemmings, Collins, funchess, Beasley (Von miller or Bruce Irvin role) Devin smith, flowers, Waynes

he does have a very strong base. he could be on the board at 25. didn't have the best games vs Utah, Notre Dame when facing speed rushers.

Tyrus thompson is my late round sleeper too. Big guy with big legs playing against good competition
