Meh. Mocks are mocks. Largely a waste of time, and hardly worth a brouhaha.

Lance Zierlein at NFL.com mocked us Cam Robinson. Now you tell me what's OBVIOUSLY wrong with this picture:

Cam Robinson - OT, Alabama: Robinson at No. 8 would be way too early for my taste, but he has tremendous size and power as a run blocker, and the Panthers might feel they have to reach a bit to find help for Cam Newton.

Yeah, but that position makes sense, because Robinson would be at a need (even though he isn't that good or worthy of the 8th pick).  Now a CB?  When we Drafted three last year?  That's just horrible dude.

Not if he's deemed the BPA. You, yourself, have derided Worley as a bust of sorts, so another high quality CB should be welcome, right?

Should be welcomed?  Maybe.  But, Drafting 3 CBs the prior year, I highly doubt another Rookie would make sense.  A Veteran at that position on the other hand?  Yes.

Or Barnett.  

If Foster and Barnett are both on the board, I gotta go with Foster. Luke's noggin' insurance and will allow us to boost our talent rotation on the outside.

A quality DE can be had with pick #40, IMHO. But I wouldn't be mad if we ended up picking Barnett at 8. In this situation, I just think Foster is the bigger talent.

Zach Cunningham is going to be a stud LB in the NFL too. In a nightmare scenario for us where all of our guys are gone at 8, and we couldn't trade down, I would even consider Cunningham at 8. It wouldn't be a nightmare in that Cunningham could do the same things Foster will, but because there is a bit of dropoff between the two, and Cunningham could probably be had in the 15-25 pick range.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
