Carolina-Chuck's Mock 3.0

Recommended Posts

In this mock, I have us trading back up into the first with the Patriots for their 27th pick. I don't know exactly what the cost for trading back up is, so I'm just guessing: (2013) 1st, (2012) 2nd, and (2012) 4th.

Like in my other post, I mentioned about wishing we pull something like what the Packers pulled in 2009, where they took Raji at 9th, and took Matthews at 26th. They struck gold there and it set their team into the future. Ironically, we hold the 9th pick like the Packs and would trade up with the Patriots just one spot under. Also, coming from a 6-10 record the previous year but its not like it means anything. Just wanted to get it out there. But here it goes....

1. (9): Fletcher Cox DT Mississippi State 6'4", 298lbs

I think Brockers have more room to grow in the pro, but I believe Cox is the safer pick here at 9th. Also, Cox can step right into a position that we need, unlike Brockers who would be playing the same position as Edwards.

1.(27): Chandler Jones DE Syracuse 6'5", 266lbs

I was debating between Jones, Perry, and Andre Branch here, but decided to take Chandler. I believes this kid is the sleeper in this draft imo, and could make a huge impact like a Aldon Smith. I know that he could fall to the 40th pick, but he and Branch been creating some buzz lately. Many mocks have Jones and Branch in the first also. So with Cox and Jones, we'll be able to have the pressure that they have been talking about. Heck, Chandler is the brother of "Jon Bones Jones UFC"!

5. (143): Travis Lewis OLB Oklahoma 6'1", 246lbs

I don't see Terrell Manning making to here in the fifth, so Lewis is probably the best linebacker available. He will add LB depth and be a great ST player.

6. (180): Jeff Fuller WR Texas A&M 6'4", 223lbs

Good WR with great size who we could groom behind Lafell and Gettis.

6. (207) Cliff Harris CB Oregon 5'11", 175lbs

CB depth and great return man.

7. (216): Shawn Powell P Florida State 6'4", 248lbs

Don't see any punter where we can add through FA, so the Panthers will definitely need to address this position in the draft, or we'll have to make a trade for Brady to come punt for us.

Get ready for some DEFENSE CAROLINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If that is the CB we draft we'll be in trouble. Like the 1st 3 players you picked but we NEED a legit #2 corner IMO.

i think Rivera and Hurney likes who we have on the team.

They have shown little interest to the cb position.

The only cbs worth taking in the first two rounds are: Claiborne, Gillmore, Kirk and JJ.

All of them aside of JJ, are going to be gone and I dont think any other cbs are worth taking that we dont already have on this team.

Apart from Hogan, who is an uncertainty imo, I don't think the other guys on the roster are #2 material, so we need someone to at least compete with Hogan.

Josh Robinson, Trumaine Johnson, Dennard, Casey Hawyard(who I'm high on compared to others) can be good #2 guys opposite Gamble.

I think all of the guys mentioned above, Denard may be the best.

But, Denard's is still similar to Munnerlyn, Hogan, and Butler in size.

I don't think Hurney would draft another player like who he already have on the team.

Remember that as good as Carlos Rogers was last year, the Panthers didnt even take a look at him.

If anyone in this draft, it would be Claiborne, Kirk or Gillmore, all of who should be gone early.

Totally trying this.

As far as the mock. I like it, but the trading up part kills me. I don't want to trade up. Trade down. DOWN. Not up anymore. =/

lol.

I think if you could trade up and have two major impact players, you have to do that, than trading down for three or four mediocre players.

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
