NFLDRAFTSCOUT.COM's 7-Round Mock Draft

[TheSpecialJuan]

Carolina Panthers

Round	Overall	Player	Notes
1	8	RB Christian McCaffrey
2	40	DE Takk McKinley
2	64	SS Josh Jones	from New England
3	98	OT David Sharpe
4	115	DT Grover Stewart
5	152	WR Malachi Dupre
6	192	CB Aarion Penton
7	233	ILB Tanner Vallejo	from Indianapolis through Cleveland

The running game has been critical to the Panthers' success on offense, and with Jonathan Stewart now 30 years old and seemingly incapable of playing 16 games, it's time to bring in a young, versatile back who can take over as the lead of a committee and help keep pressure off Cam Newton. McCaffrey doesn't look like an every-down back, but he should be able to handle 16-20 touches per came and be a critical weapon on third downs.

In the second round, the Panthers nab two players who have been drawing some first-round buzz in McKinley and Jones. It remains to be seen if McKinley can hold up as a 4-3 defensive end, but his talent is undeniable, so if his shoulder injury pushes him to the second round, he's well worth drafting. Jones should immediately replace the ineffective Kurt Coleman at strong safety. The Panthers also land some tackle help on Day 2 with Michael Oher continuing to battle concussions issues.

The third day starts for Carolina with a small-school riser in Stewart, who will need time to develop but should serve as a rotation defensive tackle as soon as 2018 if Star Lotulelei can't be resigned. Dupre and Penton give the Panthers needed depth at receiver and safety, while Vallejo will compete to fill a depth spot at linebacker that opened up when A.J. Klein moved on.

Wow

This is a very realistic mock

[Zithers]

the first three picks are awesome (though takk would need to put on 5-10 lbs) but not a fan of the later picks outside of vallejo really.

[OldNorthPowell]

Realistic. I like the first two picks, but after that......nope

[jayflip]

I base most of my "scouting" on funny / or unusual names. 

Because of that, and that alone, this mock gets an A++

The Huddle after this draft....

  And that's being kind. My first thought was

[Saca312]

CMC is really the only decent pick of the bunch.

McKinley is garbage. Wouldn't trust him on our team.

Josh Jones as our second rounder? Not even worth sniffing until the 5-6th round with how much he whiffs and how awful his tape is.

Sharpe is decent, but he's blind in one eye.

Rest is jag.

But can he see left eyed

If we don't go WR with one of our first three picks, I'm going to be pissed... It's fine we are trying out Shepard and Johnson, but teams like the Vikings and Bucs didn't even have them in their top 3 or 4. And the bucs went and upgraded! I'm tired of seeing us utilizing a ragtag group. Godwin/Henderson/Jones would make me ecstatic.
