NFL.com's Chad Reuter 3-round mock draft dance party

Pick

8

 

 

Carolina Panthers

 

 

 

Walter Nolen

Mississippi · DT · Junior

Speaking of Quinnen Williams ... Nolen earned that comp this season from Ole Miss defensive coordinator Pete Golding, who coached the three-time Pro Bowler at Alabama. Nolen's explosiveness off the ball and ability to chase down plays make him a potential top-10 selection like Williams, and pairing him with Derrick Brown means trouble for opposing offensive lines.

Hate it. No more drafting ole Miss either 

[Growl]

Wouldn’t be surprised. Guys that give you explosive interior pass rush are hard to come by. 

[ncfan]

Actually like it.

I would be ecstatic with WR Tre Harris in the 2nd rd.

Hadn't seen Nolan that high. Prefer the michigan kid if we go interior.

[Ornias]

If that is how the draft falls I would rather have Will Campbell or Walker. 

[Bostonheelfish]

We don’t need a 3-tech at DT. D. Brown is our penetrator. His second season we tried to make him eat blocks and it just wasted his talent. On DL we need guys that can eat blocks and shed. Nolan is a classic penetrating 3-tech which will make him redundant and wasted pick in the first round.

That might be the worst mock draft I've seen for us so far... Pretty impressive

Nolen might be too early but if he hits and Burch hits in the 3rd that would change the DL overnight. Still some risk at 8.

I don’t like the C pick. Awful reach at 57. This C class isn’t close to last year. Last year was the year to draft the C. If you use one or more of the day 3 picks on OL, that’s fine. Add in another edge or CB in round 2, I’d like the draft.

I wouldn’t completely say that.

It’s not good as last year.

But Wilson, had just as good a season this year as any Center coming out of last years draft.  And athletically,  will be similar if not more athletic than the Duke kid that went rd 1 last year.

Thing going against him.  He only has 1 year experience.  First year playing and starting at Georgia.  And he isn’t versatile, most scouts believe he only a Center at the next level, unsure he can play Guard at the next level.  Thats part of the reason the West Virginia kid dropped last year.  And why the Duke kid surged Duke to him being able to play multiple positions.

Wilson, I’d take no questions rd 3, towards the end of the 2nd.  I wouldn’t be mad.  Probably rather get someone else and hope he falls to rd 3. 
 

People said the same thing about the Eagles when they took Jurgens rd 2 after taking Dickerson rd 2 the year before
