Radiokiller's 2nd Mock Draft

[HeatCheck]

Previous: http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3467186&postcount=1

*No trades involved although I believe it would be in our best interests to trade down. But that's not always feasible. Also, I used two of the same players of my previous mock. Like the previous, this is more of what I would do, not what I expect.

1st Round

Justin Blackmon, WR, OKST

Many don't think Blackmon will fall to us at 8/9 but stranger things have happened. Dez Bryant, an OSU Cowboy like Blackmon, fell late in the first round in 2010 draft. While I think Blackmon will be a better overall receiver it isn't out of the question that he can fall to us.

To be honest, if we didn't draft a WR, I wouldn't be too worried. But if Justin Blackmon is there you can't pass on him. Great route runner, great playmaking ability, and great blocker.

2nd Round

Janoris Jenkins, CB, N.Alabama

Many remember him from Florida and his ability to hold top notch receiver below their respective averages. He did a good job of that last year in the SEC facing Green, Jones, and Jeffery.

He is in all likelihood the best cover corner in this draft and his aggressive in run support. The drawbacks on Jenkins might be his size but his play against top competition has shown otherwise. Also, his off the field issues might be enough to scare teams away but many have suspected his time at N.Alabama has matured him.

4th Round

Matt McCants, OT, UAB

McCants is an athletic OT who is fits the LT mold. I have always thought that Gross should be moved to RT and allow someone else to protect Cam's blind side. Matt McCants has all the tools to play LT, just needs to get a little more built for the overpowering defenders. But when it comes to quicker opponents, McCants athleticism allows him for great range.

5th Round

Danny Trevathan, OLB, Kentucky

With the uncertainty of some of our LBs due to rehabbing injuries an OLB seems like a logical choice. Trevathan is a tackling machine in the toughest conference in the nation. He maybe undersized but he makes up for that with his aggressive mentality and high motor.

6th Round

Jake Bequette, DE, Arkansas

We lacked pressure on the QB this year and both the DEs and DTs were to blame. Bequette brings a high motor and ability to pressure the QB. He only played 9 games this year but had 8 sacks. He is also solid in run defense.

7th Round

Renard Williams, DT, E.Washington

Here is an off the radar pick as not many people have heard of Williams out of Eastern Washington. We are young at the DT position and the injury to Edwards didn't help but there is still room for more bodies. Williams has a knack for getting to the QB, something we desperately need.

[Jackofalltrades]

Bryant fell because of character concerns, Blackmon doesn't have any. I love the pick, but I have a trade back as more probable.

Character concerns have hurt Jenkins, but I still think he goes in the first round.

I would cream my pants if this came to fruition, I just can't see it happening.

[HeatCheck]

Yeah I realize why Dez fell. I am just saying that people rule out Blackmon falling to us. It happens all the time, sometimes for no good reason. I can very well see him falling to us.

[stirs]

There is one elite WR in this draft at this point. He won't make it out of the top 5 but I would love a scenario where Blackmon, Claiborne or Kalil fell. Just doubt we will be that lucky

[stirs]

Try a mock with no trades and the following 5 being gone with the first 5 picks

Luck

Kalil

Blackmon

RGIII

Claiborne

Now, make a mock with what is left, that is what the Panthers will be doing.

[g5jamz]

Still or Coples....assuming they make it to 8 and we win the coin flip

[R0CKnR0LLA]

counting olsen for a 3rd in there that means 3 of our first 4 picks are on offense... sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttt

It's all abut value. There's no reason to reach for defensive players just to be selecting defense.

Also, there's free agency.

Blackmon was pulled over for DUI and suspended for a game.. he at least has maturity issues. Which has been stated by several scouts. He seems to have that 'diva' WR persona.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

so after we ignore our defense who do you guys think should draft with our top 10 pick in 2013?

[Jackofalltrades]

Won't happen, people seem to forget the players we're getting back.
