Their model gets poo for being too early and making too many changes throughout the year but this time it's kind of scary how well they were able to frame most scenarios especially Carolina. 

 

 Carolina Panthers: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State

Matt Rhule believes he's the Jay-Z of NFL head coaches, but he's more Silkk the Shocker than Jay-Z at the moment. For Rhule to truly be Jay-Z, he needs his Beyonce, but he doesn't have a better quarterback option than Sam Darnold, who is basically Rebecca Black. The Panthers whiffed on all the quarterbacks they could've obtained via trade, so they could use this selection on a signal-caller, given that this is the only pick the team has in the top 100. 

However, it's sounding like the Panthers will use this pick on a tackle. Carolina doesn't have second- and third-round picks, but it could use the ones it has in 2023 to obtain someone like Matt Corral. If so, the Panthers can take one of the top three tackles. 

Charles Cross has great feet as a former five-star recruit. Charlie Campbell reported that Cross has impressed team evaluators this season.

*** OTHER 2022 NFL DRAFT POSSIBILITIES: *** 

1. Ikem Ekwonu/Evan Neal, OT - I now believe Carolina is going tackle... 

2. Malik Willis, QB - However, quarterback is still a possibility.

Pick change: previously Ikem Ekwonu, OT 

Yes Ekwonu was mocked then changed but only because of how other teams saw him and they didn't see a possibility of him being available. The scenario about Matt Corral was spot on like they actually got some inside perspective or they are actual savants, lol. Either way I tend to get a general consensus for mocks to gain perspective. I just found this very interesting that this was so close to reality and hopefully it all plays out for the best.

Walter football has been consistent for years. Predicted us to take Horn last year

People around here use to discredit you for bringing up Walterfootball but I like some of their content. Charlie Campbell is particularly good. And they have this one column they do every year position reviews that no one else does.

They combine that year's draft class with the one before it and rank where the prospects would rank if it were one big draft class by position.

Charlie got the first 10 picks correct and has picked the last 5 Panthers 1st round picks correct. Walter's takes are idiotic but Charlie is a good one

yeah, to be that spot on...you kind of start doubting that they know something, at least Charlie does.

Walter football and cbs sports always have the best insight imo.
