2019 NFL Mock Draft... realistic

Recommended Posts

Now that the end of the NFL season is here.  Panthers are going to have a busy offseason with Teppers first official offseason with coaching changes, free agency, and his first Draft as Panthers GM.  I for one am very excited and optimistic at this point as I love how Tepper has ran the organization.  Letting players be themselves and encouraging their personalities instead of shelter them.  I wont lie I know we have a ton of holes on our roster right now and I for one haven't been this down on going into a offseason (outside of losing the big games of course) but with TD gone, Pep retiring, Cam's shoulder surgery, our free agents, etc.  We have a cluster on our hands BUT again I am trying to remain optimistic.  So here are a few things I (IMHO) believe will take place.

We currently have (as of late December looking for updated one) but 36 players under contract.  With 17 holes to fill with Defensive Line, Offensive Line, Nickel and Safety being the biggest glaring needs I see.

We currently are estimated $23,000,000 in CAP space.  I think we Should release Poe and get back the $9.3 mill in CAP. Draft a replacement.

  • S Mike Adams - as much as it pains me we HAVE to get younger, let unk (uncle*) walk.  
  • RB Cameron Artis-Payne - resign
  • RB Kenjon Barner - resign
  • RB Travaris Cadet - walk
  • K Chandler Catanzaro - Resign Let him and Gano battle it out, I eventually see Catanzaro win out. 
  • OT Chris Clark - Resign Depth?Possible Camp cut
  • LB Thomas Davis - My Theory is we let TD test the market and he gets offered more, but eventually resigns with us like CJ.
  • WR Devin Funchess - I am on the fence about this one.  IMO he never panned out for the 2nd round we spent.  I say trade bait and let walk.
  • DE Wes Horton - Resign/Depth
  • LB Ben Jacobs - Re-sign Special Teams Captain (I believe)
  • S Colin Jones - Re-sign Special Teams/Depth
  • C Ryan Kalil (retiring)
  • DT Kyle Love - re-sign Vet minimum (IMO) Camp casulty
  • LB David Mayo - Re-sign
  • OT Marshall Newhouse - Resign to vet minimum need depth.
  • DE Julius Peppers (retiring)
  • S Eric Reid - Resign
  • G Amini Silatolu - Buh Bye
  • RB Fozzy Whittaker - Love em but let walk.
  • OT Daryl Williams - Re-sign

 

***Note I think the talks about switching to 3-4 is real but until confirmed going with current Defensive/Offensive scheme:

 

Free Agency:

 

DE Dante Fowler (Market Value per sportstrac : 4 years $23mill about $5.75

CB Johnathan Jones ( Replace Captain at nickel)

FS Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix to replace Mike Adams (IF we don't go after Landon Collins which in our history we don't spend the money)

WR Tyrell Williams replace the tall "big" receiver after Funchess leaves.

 

There are a few others I would target for roster spots and shopping at Dollar General for depth/camp comp

 

Draft:

 

Round 1 Pick 16: Lawrence, Dexter, DT, Clemson (A-)
Round 2 Pick 15: Allen, Zach, DE, Boston College (A-)
Round 3 Pick 13: Miller, Christian, OLB, Alabama (A)
Round 4 Pick 13: Hyatt, Mitch, OT, Clemson (A+)
Round 5 Pick 16: Fields, Mark, CB, Clemson (A+)
Round 6 Pick 14: Holyfield, Elijah, RB, Georgia (A+)

I feel like cutting M. Kalil should be a real possibility. That would save, what, 7 mil? We could sign a few solid guys of the right guys are cut. 

Having Matt's $12 million cap on next season's roster would be a very stupid move for a guy who 1) is not very good and 2) missed all of last season.  

I think Matt will absolutely be cut.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
