I signed up last year because I really wanted to see what the Panthers were going to do in the draft. Thats when I found Verge on here. He and his source are legit! All I remember was how he kept saying the Panthers were super high on Greg Little and would even have considered him at 16. I thought he was crazy because I wasn't high on Little at all, but next thing you know we trade up and select him in the second. I trust anything he says after that day because he was completey correct and his source was extremely credible.

Looks like Marty is shopping QB1.

If there's smoke there's fire I suppose. It looks more and more like we'll be parting ways with QB1.

[SetfreexX]

I'm of the mind that once the dust settles, Cam will return, a lot of dust got swept up regarding Tepper's comments, but he also was quoted as saying Cam when healthy is an elite QB, as well as elite QBs are hard to find, and you want an elite QB on your team. 

I have 0 reason to believe Cam won't return healthy. 

With that being the case, IDL, and IOL to me are the absolute necessity that we need to walk away with early in this draft, Simmons is the only early exception for me at the moment with the Luke retirement, however athleticism / cover ability at LB is can be filled via FA / the latter rounds since we retained Shaq. Brown or Kinalw (Upside) at 7, and the best IOL in the 2nd or 3rd. 

I like Little / Moton as the starters given a clean bill of health, Little played well as a rookie when healthy, Moton has solidified himself, and Daley showed his chops as a late round selection. Tackle depth is also something I'd like to see on day 3, or in FA. 

[Icege]

I'm feeling confident in our first round pick. Between Brown, Kinlaw, Simmons, and Okudah we're guaranteed to upgrade the defense. There are some strong iOL candidates for day 2 (I'm keeping an eye on Tyler Biadasz (C, Wisconsin), Lloyd Cushenberry III (C, LSU), Solomon Kindley (G, Georgia), and Nick Harris (C, Washington)).

There are some possible day 3 guys for the DL that can provide good depth and potentially develop as well: James Lynch (DE, Baylor), Leki Fotu (NT, Utah), Nick Coe (DE, Auburn), McTelvin Agim (DT, Arkansas)

This also likely means that Marty is going to draft a QB, OT, P, x2 RBs, and x2 LBs 

[Jared Patterson]

Verge: Will Jeff Gladney or Bryce Hall slip to us in the second round?

Matt Miller also reported Marty calling around last week.

I would guess that team is the Chargers.

 

I remember your guy being right about Hayden to the raiders in '13, and that was kind of a surprise pick...

[45catfan]

Here is an interesting scenario and the top 6 picks DON'T go as expected.  This simulated mock had the Skins taking Okudah at #2 and the Lions taking Brown at #3.  In the of chance that the Skins don't take Young, this is what I came up with.

7: R1P7

EDGE CHASE YOUNG

OHIO STATE

38: R2P6

S KYLE DUGGER

LENOIR-RHYNE

69: R3P5

DL RAEKWON DAVIS

ALABAMA

 

110: R4P7 

WR CHASE CLAYPOOL

NOTRE DAME

152: R5P6

OT SAAHDIQ CHARLES

LSU

184: R6P5

LB SHAQUILLE QUARTERMAN

MIAMI

221: R7P7

TE CHARLIE TAUMOEPEAU

PORTLAND STATE

 

I could get behind this draft.

Pretty sure Verge said his friend was with the Jags. I’d think Colts.

[45catfan]

 I really wish the team would make up their minds on Cam and Bradberry already.  My mocks depend on this!

i know nothing about dugger. also, im personally not a fan of raekwon davis. he really strieks me as the guy some team will reach on because of his potential, but then wont ever live up to it. he recorded 0.5 of a sack this year compared to 8 his freshman year, has been declining ever since. i am a fan of shaq quarterman in the 6th though. here's my current mock for reference:

 (i also really like savon ahmed as a UDFA)

No worries. I thought I remembered Jax. Maybe someone had guessed.
