The Draft Network's Justin Mello's Panthers 7-round mock draft special

[JawnyBlaze]

I dunno about a cb but otherwise I like it. Our cbs are probably our first or second strongest unit, with the ol.

Don't reach by being myopic. Remember the aftermath of the Josh Norman fiasco where Gettleman spammed CB picks that almost none of them worked out?

No disagreement with you on the evils of reaching.  Just seems fortuitous that our most glaring need aligns with the strength of this draft.  I would think that would improve the probability of getting potential starters in the first three rounds.  

But, yeah, Gettleman screwed the pooch with the Norman fiasco.

Right bit if you are dead set on DL, trading down is the way to go. The pool is deep through the second round. Why expend a top 10 pick on someone like Pearce when he might not be clearly ahead of guys in the mid first through mid second?

You stay at 8 if there is an elite prospect available. NEVER pass on a truly elite prospect to trade down to the "maybe elite" range. 

I don't know how it will all end up shaking out but I have unwavering faith in Dan Morgan and the FO that they will get it completely wrong, regardless of the decision.
