My three round mock.

[LinvilleGorge]

Not sold on Grier at all. I'd rather take that Uncle Rico looking dude out of Washington State in the 6th than Grier in the 3rd. I think they're very similar prospects.

[bobcat91]

The first two picks are spot on. Not a fan of Grier and think a better Safety will be there. I would rather draft Savage and a LB or CB and stick with Allen as backup

[LinvilleGorge]

The only way I'd be interested in Tell would be as a UDFA. That guy isnt a football player. He's just an athlete trying to play football.

[musicman]

I would rather take a OT instead of a guard/C. We have Larsen for that.

Not a fan of the Grier pick based on what I saw at Senior Bowl week, but I guess we'll see.

Watch his film from the season.

Who's the last WVU skill position player who translated well to the NFL? I just don't trust anyone coming out of that system.

Burns

 

Burns is more than just athletic  ability 

 

Von Miller vs Burns college careers

Years 1 and 2 for Miller at A&M

Fresh: 2.5 Sacks 4 TFL

Soph: 3.5 sacks 7.5 TFL

 

Burns

Freshman: 8.5 Sacks 9.5 TFL

Sophomore: 4.5 Sacks 13.5 TFL

 

Miller blew up his junior season while Burns switched to the new scheme that he wasnt recruited or fit for.

But

Von Miller 

Senior season: 10.5 sacks 17.5 TFL

Burns

This past season in new scheme: 10.5 sacks 15.5 TFL

 

Mack, Miller and Burns all played at around 235 in college as edge Linebackers who bulked up to 250 at the combine 

 

Miller combine

6'3 250.   4.53 40.   37vert.    126 broad  6.7 3cone

 

Mack combine 

6'3 251.   4.65. 40.   40vert.   128 broad.   7.08 3cone

 

 

Burns combine 

6'5 249.   4.53 40.   36vert.    129 broad.  7.01 3cones

That's the comparison I was making, he reminds me a lot of Miller coming out of A&M, just needs some polish to get to what Miller is now. 

It just amazes me he's not higher on draft websites, but the circlejerk on these sites would make you think Burns is 7'0" tall and 105 lbs in a soaking wet uniform. Makes me think on actual GM boards he's probably a top 10 pick.

Just a factor of this draft class. In virtually any other class I can recall he'd be a top 10 lock.

Burns came into my bar by the stadium for lunch with Everette Brown and Sam Mills Jr.  

Fr? Very encouraging if true

It's gone down a lot since they started running a gimmicky offense, but drafting a quarterback that came out of a gimmicky offense didn't exactly hurt us the last time we did it.

It's not exactly a secret that the Panthers seem a bit smitten with Burns.

Cam's a different beast though. You can make a legit argument that he's the most physically talented QB ever. The physical aspects are where the primary question marks lie with Grier.

I have developed my first mock of this season. 

 

Here it be.

 

https://www.carolinahuddle.com/2019/03/25/carolina-panthers-2019-mock-draft/

 

TLDR version

1. Burns - Edge - FSU

2. Deiter - G/C Wisconsin

3a Grier - QB- W by God VU (trade up likely)

3b. Tell - S - USC (if not traded)

 

lovely

Guy named Montana wasn't exactly a physical specimen but he did okay. Likewise that guy up in Boston whose name escapes me.

I appreciate what Newton can do, but beast level athleticism in a QB is a "nice to have", not a "need to have".
