Evan Silva's 7-round Panthers mock draft extravaganza

[TheSpecialJuan]

best cock yet 

[SOJA]

I don't mind Jessie Bates but I feel like some team is going to draft him way too high in the second

[TheSpecialJuan]

Look back at our free agency this year. Hurney was aggressive in attempting to sign a starting corner (Breeland) and TE (Willson, Ebron). 

This should tell you what our draft plans will be.

i love this draft.

I mean, I think RB should be a higher priority than DE partly cuz I expect the team to try and get by with a developing Daeshon Hall and squeeze another productive year out of Peppers. But I don't totally hate it. McCaffrey needs help running the ball, y'all. He's a slot WR. 

Also, ugh at all this Jessie Bates hype

Ok everyone, I agree with many of you, but by now we have fallen in love with players and are not thinking objectively.  That is where I come in, because thinking has never been something that holds me back.

Here is how I see the needs by position:

WR: First or second round ONLY.  After 2 rounds, we have mediocre.  we need a game changer.  Moore is our next steve Smith, if you ask me.  Why people would not like him is a mystery.  If he is there at 24, take him.  Look at his stats at Maryland.  Maryland had no QBs and they are Maryland.

CB: Rounds One-three.  Yes, we need a CB, but decent CBs will be there in the third round.  We need someone to compete with Bradberry and Cockrell.  After round 3, not likely.

S: Third round or later.  Because I expect we will focus on offense early in this draft, I am not sure a S in the second is a ton better than one in the third.  I like some of the late Safeties--we have a year behind Adams and Searcy is OK.  We need depth to develop for starting roles next year.  Sure, a S before the third is ideal, but so is TE, OL, CB, and WR--we have 2 veterans---not happy about it.

TE: Second round through fifth round:  I do not see an early TE with Olsen back and healthy, unless Hurst falls to the second round.  If we miss a TE on days 1 and 2, I trade up if I can to grab Dalton Shultz from Stanford  in the fifth if he is there.

OL:  Second through seventh:  Ragnow in the second round makes sense.  I do not know why nobody is acknowledging the liklihood of Moton at LG, but even if that happens, we need depth at LG and a future center.  Let's say, heaven forbid, Kalil gets a bone spur at LT and needs a few weeks off.  If Moton is at LG, we move him to LT and move Ragnow to LG.  Of course, if Ragnow and Price are not there in round 2, we will pick up another inside G/C in the third.

Here are the windows:

WR.....1.....2

CB.....1.....2.....3

S.......1.....2......3.......5

TE............2......3......5......6......7

OG/C.......2......3

DE............2......3

QB....................3......5.......6......7

RB............................5.......6.......7

So, here is what I would do, if positions and not players were the focus:

1. WR

2. CB or OC/G

3. OC/G or CB, DE

5. S  (This bothers me, but we have 2 veterans at S and some decent depth at S in draft)

6. TE

7. RB, OT

 

 

I think Rb should be higher. Major part of the team's make up. I don't think you can just get an elite rb  in the 7th rd. Yes, Panthers need an elite real 3 down rb with power and speed. 

[WOW!!]

Yeah this whole opinion is shitty...

1. I like Moore a lot but he isn't a game changer and has at least a year of development before making a impact.. Other than Ridely I don't see another WR coming in and starting day one... WR is a 3rd or later move for me..

2. Basically this draft is perfect for a team to get day 1 starters in the Secondary.. I know ppl want weapons for Cam but reality is .. This draft is stronger in defensive players (not DE) But CB, Safety, DT, LB are the strength of this draft.. 

3. If they go into the season with the AARP safety starters especially when both are SS.. I will literally be sick... And it will confirm this is a dumbass coaching staff and FO...

4. TE is a higher need than WR .. After Olsen there is nothing .. 

5. Ol might be higher because this draft has a lot of OG talent in it... And you play to the strength of the draft ... Instead of forcing need picks and ending up with bust players...

Glad your running things. We need a TE badly, no way we go with Olsen and then Manhertz.
