The artist formerly known as Samuel L. Jackson's 2010 Carolina Panthers Mock Draft...

[nagai]

I would be jizzing in my pants if this is what we're getting on draft day, simply because I can't see it happening. Gilyard in the 3rd is possible, just because I haven't been impressed with him so he could be a value pick in the 3rd. Briscoe in the 4th? I think the guy's just too good to slip that far.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Instead of start a new topic with each incarnation of my draft, here is the most recent... I call it, "It couldn't happen in a million years, but if it did I would jizz my pants all day every day"

Trades:

2011 first rounder and pick #112 (4th) to Kansas City for picks #36 (2nd), #102 (4th), and #142 (5th)...

Our original second rounder, #48, to NY Jets for picks #61 (2nd) and #124 (4th)...

Our original sixth rounder from Oakland, #175, plus the #142 (5th) from KC to New England for pick #124 (4th)

This would give us picks:

2 - #36

2 - #61

3 - #78

4 - #102

4 - #119

4 - #124

6 - #202

6 - #204

7 - #223

7 - #249

The Mock:

2 - 36 - Golden Tate, WR Notre Dame (alternatively, Demaryius Thomas, WR GT):

Tate slips past the Jets at #29 and the Bucs at #35... We jump at the chance to get Smitty Jr...

2 - 61 - Tyson Alualu, DT California (alternatively, Navorro Bowman, OLB Penn St.)

Looking to solidify and reinforce the defensive line, we select a guy who can play DT or DE...

3 - 78 - Mardy Gilyard, WR Cincinnati (alternatively, another WR or a LB)

Gilyard has fallen way down on most boards simply because of his size and the rise of other WRs once behind him... This pick will be a steal if he slides this far, and he already has chemistry with the guy we're eyeing with the next pick...

4 - 102 - Tony Pike, QB Cincinnati

Needing good depth and potential behind Moore, the Panthers take an accurate passer who slides further than he should on draft day... I've never been keen on the QB draft pick, but I think there is a good chance we pull this trigger...

4 - 119 - Dekoda Watson, OLB Florida State

LB depth is a big need right now, and I'll honestly be surprised if it isn't addressed by this point.. either by a free agent, or a draft pick prior to this slot...

4 - 124 - George Selvie, DE South Florida

Good frame, good character, good technique, great motor... Could immediately backup either starting end and be a solid rotational guy down the stretch...

6 - 202 - Leigh Tiffin, K Alabama

Kasay's eventual replacement

6 - 204 - Rico McCoy, LB Tennessee

Can add even more depth to our most shallow position on the roster

7 - 223 - Chris Marinelli, G/T Stanford

Another holdover from my initial mock, can provide OL depth

7 - 249 - Robert Johnson, S Utah

Yet another holdover... I dunno if he'll still be on the board, but if so, he is well worth the pick from a depth standpoint...

2 - 36 - Golden Tate, WR Notre Dame (alternatively, Demaryius Thomas, WR GT...

I really cannot see either of these guys making it into the 2nd. But I love Thomas he could be just the type of guy that we need. Would rather take him then Tate IMO

The overhyping of Thomas (he is nowhere the WR some people are calling him, in my opinion) is what may just cause Tate to slide...

Sure, the Rams, Lions, or Bucs could take either of them if they do slide, but they have much more pressing needs than WR...

It'd be a wetdream for it to happen, and I don't really think it will... I just included it for the slight chance that it does...

[KillerKat]

Gotta put LeRoy Vann in there somewhere

[CanadianCat]

the measurements of Thomas will have teams going for him alone.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Agreed... and I hope they are teams that want him before pick #36...

[Samuel L. Jackson]

oops

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Here's my "HOLY poo!" version:

2011 first rounder and pick #112 (4th) to Kansas City for picks #36 (2nd), #102 (4th), and #142 (5th)...

Our original second rounder, #48, to Seattle for picks #60 (2nd), #127 (4th), and #176 (6th)...

The 5th rounder from the Chiefs (#142), our original 6th from the Raiders (#175), and our original 7th (#223) to the Jets for their 4th (#124)

This gives us picks:

2 - 36

2 - 60

3 - 78

4 - 102

4 - 124

4 - 127

6 - 176

6 - 202

6 - 204

7 - 249

2 - 36 - Golden Tate, WR Notre Dame

2 - 60 - Tyson Alualu, DT California

3 - 78 - Mardy Gilyard, WR Cincinnati

4 - 102 - Tony Pike, QB Cincinnati

4 - 124 - Syd'Quan Thompson, CB California

4 - 127 - AJ Edds, LB Iowa

6 - 176 - Darryl Sharpton, LB Miami

6 - 202 - Robert Johnson, S Utah

6 - 204 - Leigh Tiffin, K Alabama

7 - 249 - Chris Marinelli, OL Stanford

[The Saltman]

ure mock draft is ridiculous.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Bump... and I'll lean more towards my last one up there as being the closest to my predictions... even though I'd love to see Weatherspoon in a Panthers jersey..
