Mock Draft Simulator Thread 2022

[chbright]

For a no trade draft I'm not mad. Get 2 huge linemen in Neal and Smith. Best 2 run blockers, Smith is a pancake machine that will slide inside at the next level. Added my dark horse QB in Zappe a round later. Most here hope Zappe lasts because there is a void of talent at the QB spot once he's off the board. Fortner is solid, played a lot of G but moved to C for 2021. Think Geoff Hangartner for the older folks in panther nation. Ok starter at best, but great backup for sure with 3 positions he can play, and could nail down a roster spot day one so we don't over spend on a backup level FA.  Partial need pick, but very experienced and held up well the last 3 years in the SEC. Considering the other options we have, he could push for the starting role. Now Jelani Woods is a guy imo should shoot up boards. Watched him a few games and he was unstoppable at times for a hug 6'7" the, he moves extremely well. He isn't a bean poll either he's a load that can play in line at the NFL level. Senior bowl got him off on draft simulators, but dude balls. Hs QB that was placed at TE early enough he could blossom year 2 in the NFL. kinda like Logan Thomas but less development required. Also he was a standout at the senior bowl in practice as a larger audience saw a healthy version as well and not a guy playing for a scrub UVA team (where he still put up good #s in a system that spread the ball out). Araiza is everyone's love at punter so nothing more to say on him.

Assuming we address OL in FA, I really like this. I believe in continuing to build an elite defense - gotta have something to brag about.

Apparently if you are lucky enough for it to allow you  to trade with the Eagles, we can get 16 and 19 for our 6th pick.    Ahh to dream.

 

 OR

OR

 

A first round QB and OL would be nice.

OK this is my favorite.   I only did 3 rounds, default settings.

  I walk away with a first round tackle , 1st round QB, 2nd round LB and 2nd round  Edge and  3 round G all from the original 1st round 6 pick.  

In addition I obtained an additional 2023  1st rounder, 2nd rounder, 4th rounder 5th rounder and 6th rounder in exchange for a 2023 3rd rounder.  Most of those were from HST, JAX and DET.

The unrealistic trade with Washington makes this impossible, although Smarty Marty could maybe certainly be hoodwinked..

 

[section543]

For those who’ve given up on this season,  added two 2023 first rounders in addition to adding some pieces for the future.

 

[Jay Roosevelt]

This is one I did based on a scenario where we trade Robbie Anderson to the Pats for their 3rd rounder.

The trade was just one I forced to get their 3rd rounder in the simulation.

Here’s a no trade scenario 

[Hoenheim]

Definitely  can't assume that we're going to be able to trade down when there's teams with multiple high 1st that would be better trade partners and just a general lack of desperation to trade up due to a mediocre  qb class. 

[Hoenheim]

Have the panthers ever traded down in R1 in franchise history?
