1st Round - (DE) - Quinton Coples, UNC

Assuming Claibourn was selected already, we will get Coples. He will give us a very good DE tandem with Charles Johnson and immediately improve our pass rush. With Coples abilities to play DT, it just makes this pick the most sense. Sure their are questions about him, but their is no questioning his talents and Riveras ability to motivate guys. I think he is too good to pass up on and would be a great pick IMO.

2nd Round - (CB - Janoris Jenkins)

I keep hearing buzz more and more about this kid falling. I can see it happening. Probably the #2 rated CB in the draft, but his off the field trouble will scare a lot of teams away, but will we wont shy away. Will fill a need and Coach Rivera will give this kid every chance to prove the critics wrong. I would be thrilled to get this guy in the 2nd round and its becoming more and more likely that it will happen. Would be an absolute HUGE get in the 2nd round.

4th Round - (WR/KR) Joe Adams, Arkansas

LOVE this kid. He immediately becomes both our kick and punt return man. He also becomes a very good weapon as a slot receiver. With Steve Smith getting older(but still competitive), and two big receivers in LaFell and Gettis..Adams would fit in perfectly IMO. If youve seen him play, this lil dude can take it to the house anytime he touches the football. WIth the weapons in our offense, Adams would just add to it and give us an eventual replacement for Steve Smith.

5th Round - (QB) Russell Wilson, NC State/Wisconsin

Say goodbye to Jimmy Clausen. We knew that already but this just makes it official. Wilson's skill set fits this offense and although he is short, the kid is a beast. WIth Cam starting and Andersen already in the fold, some might question as to why Panthers go QB here. SImple answer - What if Cam goes down? Not talking just this season but in seasons to come. Develop Wilson as the backup incase you know...Cam goes down. If Wilson was 6-5, hed be a first round pick. Hes a steal in the 5th round, so I take Wilson here.

6th Round - (P) Drew Butler, Georgia

An explanation really not needed here. Fills a need and Butler is worth it.

6th Round compensation - (DE) Donte Paige-Moss, UNC

At times, I felt this kid had more talent than Coples. Truth is, if DPM stays at UNC one more season, he becomes a first round pick next year. I would take this gamble. He could also play some OLB if needed. Very fast, very strong. Another pick RIvera would have to mature though.

7th Round - Best OL available

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
