2021 draft Carolina Panthers Round 2 Prospect - Trevon Moehrig - S - TCU

[Zod]

I am looking into some options the Carolina Panthers may have available for their round 2 selection and one guy that I keep taking note of is Trevon Moehrig. 

Trevon is one of those guys that is a projected late first round / early second round picks. 

Obviously, the Panthers need real help at safety and Trevon would likely be a day 1 starter. He would be an instant and substantial upgrade to Tre Boston or whoever is slated as the current starter along with Tre.

As a true freshman at TCU in 2018, Moehrig transitioned to safety and made an immediate impact, starting two games on defense and being named the Horned Frogs' Special Teams MVP for the season.[2] He became a full-time starter as a sophomore in 2019 and finished second on the team with 4 interceptions and 62 tackles. After the season, he was named 1st team All-Big 12.[3]

Prior to Moehrig's junior season in 2020, he was named as the top defensive back in Texas by Dave Campbell's Texas Football,[4] the nation's top returning safety by Pro Football Focus[5] and a preseason All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.[6] He was also named one of the top safety prospects for the 2021 NFL Draft by Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN.[7]

I wouldn’t hate it. I would also like to give Indiana DB Jamar Johnson a look as well as a mid round guy.

Would be pretty awesome to have a pair of badass safeties, but I’d probably want to look at Centers and Guards ASAP after taking out QB. Or especially LT if one happens to be available at that point.  I’d prefer our next two picks after QB to be OL.  Then S, CB or MLB

If I'm taking a safety that high, it's to replace Tre, not to pair with him.  We finally took a safety before day 3 last year, I doubt the team does it again.  As the last draft was defense heavy the opposite will happen this year.... not a complete run of every pick but 4 of the 7 I would think.  Need  at least the QB (given) a couple OL and TE.  That leaves a desperately needed corner and ILB, plus defensive line depth.  For once in many years, I'll be okay passing on a safety this draft unless his value is too good to pass up.  Really that holds true for about any position.

Burris & Chinn can hold up the fort. We need our attention elsewhere

I ran a mock draft simulator and I made our picks.

• 8.

  

  Carolina Panthers

  Justin Fields

  QB, Ohio State

• 40.

  

  Carolina Panthers

  Christian Darrisaw

  OT, Virginia Tech

• 72.

  

  Carolina Panthers

  Josh Myers

  IOL, Ohio State

   

  Safety I see as a luxury pick after the offense is high octane.

Eh, I see a high energy guy, but nothing overly special.  All four of his picks were horribly thrown passes and most of the big tackles were plays out of the backfield with the offensive guys moving laterally, so yeah...easy to blow up coming downfield with a head of steam.

[Little Goody Two Shoes]

I like the idea of having two good safeties, since we've ignored that position for so long. However, we need a QB in rd1 and oline the rest of the draft.

[LinvilleGorge]

I do think we put a real focus on the secondary this off-season. QB, secondary, and OL are the glaring holes on this roster. Reading up on Phil Snow, the defensive philosophy we saw from him this year absolutely does not seem to be his preferred defensive philosophy. I really do think he was trying to do the best he could with the talent available to him and he knew he didn't have the secondary to run the style of defense he prefers.

Would rather fix up the offensive line. All the teams left in the playoffs have decent to good offensive line play. What was the difference in the 2015 Panthers Superbowl run? A consistent offensive line that played most of the games together. Michael Oher had a career year, Norwell and Turner were beasts, Kalil was still one of the best center's in the NFL, and Mike Remmers didn't morph into dog poop until the Superbowl. 

Would rather address safety in next years draft and fill it with a free agent for another season.

This would be a dream draft

If we come out of this draft without a ILB, I'll be dumbfounded.  Like it took years for DJ Moore to fill Smitty's void, let's not take several years to 'attempt' to replace Luke. 

Got to get the two field generals out of this draft QB and ILB, it's a must.  The Tahir Whitehead's of the NFL as a patchwork replacement isn't going to work long term.  Heck, it didn't even work ONE year.

hes ok from my analytics of watching all of his films but one , he needs more discipline 

[pantherj]

I'm doing another mock. Zack Wilson is on the board at 8th, and the Colts are on the phone offering their 1st and 2nd picks. What would you do?
