With the 30th pick...the Panthers select 'Others' (SB Nation's compilation of mocks)

[top dawg]

I thought that this was a neat little exercise by Adam Stites of SB Nation, and for people who love monitoring mocks, it is a goldmine of possibilities.

I guess that it's no wonder that the later the pick, the more that analysts/writers don't have any idea who the pick will be because of fallers and risers during the process, but I was kind of disappointed to see that "Others" was the summation of the pick at 30.

No. 30 Carolina Panthers

•        Others    34.8%
•  DE Emmanuel Ogbah 18%
•  DE Kevin Dodd 14.6%
•  OT Germain Ifedi 7.9%
•  OT Jason Spriggs 7.9%
•  CB William Jackson 6.7%
•  RB Derrick Henry 5.6%
•  S   Vonn Bell 4.5%

 

But, of course, one of these prospects has a good probability to be the pick, especially considering that we've had visits with some of them.

Henry and Dodd are the only ones we've met with on that list so far, right?

EDIT: Add Vonn Bell to the list

I'm told #OhioState safety Vonn Bell has (or has had) meetings, workouts and/or visits with the #Jets, #Patriots, #Panthers and #Giants.

Dodd would be great. I'm not so confident in this class of DEs as much as I am at DBs and DTs.

Info is so sketchy, but I think I'll edit my post to "some of them". Walter football has us talking wth Ifedi at the Combine.

The Others?? We're getting the Night's King b*tches:

[Captain Morgan]

Others doesn't have a great 40 time, and he's a little undersized, but he's a true football player.

[DelhommesTheMan]

I like Ogbah a lot.  Guy is physical, him and Ealy would be scary.  Dodd would be a good pick also.

William jackson was getting alot of love on TV yesterday. Was rated very highly by Louis Riddick yesterday. He and DJ seem like the better analysts to me.

Gettleman will draft BPA.  No real way to guess who will be there because every year draft the drop has surprise reach picks and top valued players falling in the drop.  The more I see the news, my own opinion, we are going to go offensive side of the ball.  First I thought DE like Dodd or Ogbah, but with this years draft being so top heavy with Defenders I could see all the guys we are projected to get not be there at 30.   I am going to go out on a limb and say the top tackles will be gone and the top DE's who the Panthers like will be gone, and I believe we will go either the best available WR or Derrick Henry.  Something in my gut tells me we take Henry to continue to impose that FEAR and that "run it down your throats" philosophy into our opponents.  We are a class ahead of our division and this draft will continue the tend of separation.

If we draft Vonn Bell our defense is going to be lethal. LETHAL.

[Catweisers]

Henry in the back field would be awesome.

This guy makes it look easy but sure getting some blocking.

process of elimination.  take out the given players, and rank the next few.

So this is what the Patriots fans feel like.  Pretty nice feeling, eh?

[JawnyBlaze]

Lotta guys I'd be happy with at our spot, most of all Ogbah, Dodd and Hunter Henry.  Plenty of other guys I'd still be happy with like Derrick Henry, Spriggs and William Jackson the 三.
