Tyler Vagyler's Mock Draft v1.0

Round 1: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri

Sheldon Richardson is known for his high motor and aggression at the line. He is consistently in back-field pressuring the QB or disrupting the run. Putting him in the middle with CJ and Hardy attacking from the outside would make our DL one of the most feared for years. Also, a dominant front 7 will make our secondary look much better than it really is. Finally acknowledging the lack of a good DT is what this team needs.

Round 2: Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor

As with DT, wide receiver is another position this franchise has been ignoring for years. It's time we realize Smitty won't be around forever and we need to find his replacement (and a #2 for while Smitty is still here). I would absolutely love to have Hopkins or Patterson but both will be gone at this point. However, Terrance Williams is another fantastic option. Big, fast, physical. Everything you want in a WR. A definite deep threat as well as a great route runner for those short to intermediate routes. Lining Williams up with Smitty for the next couple seasons would be a huge treat for Cam.

Round 4: Jordan Poyer, CB, Oregon State

We could go in several directions here but I think if Poyer is on the board he'd be the guy. Poyer is known for his great coverage skills and playmaker ability. He was second in the nation in interceptions but does struggle against the run. Anyone taken in round 4 will have some skills that need developing, Poyer is no different. However, his playmaking ability is something our defense really needs.

Round 5: Omoregie Uzzi, G, Georgia Tech

Not only does Uzzi have a great name, he is a great fit for our team. He is extremely mobile for an OG and was in a option-type offense in college. He is very effective at blocking at the second level which is something our offense requires with Cam and the RBs. Not a flashy pick but a great fit.

Round 6: Shamarko Thomas, S, Syracuse

Shamarko is known for his physical play and big hit ability. He plays very aggressive and makes his presence known as WRs come across the middle for a catch. Obviously, these traits are lacking in our secondary. While he ball skills aren't quite developed yet, his impressive tackling and aggressiveness is something we desperately need.

Round 6 (comp): Caleb Sturgis, K, Florida

I can't believe we still don't have a solid kicker. Hopefully we can snag a good one this draft. Sturgis seems like a good option.

I actually really like this mock, it addresses some very important needs, provided the Panthers resign Dwan, Captain and keep Hangartner (you will need veteran depth on the O-line if you are only drafting one lineman). As much as I like Shmarko Thomas, that pick might be better suited for an DE/OLB hybrid guy so we can trade James Anderson for another pick.

Lastly, I thought Gano performed quite well, minus that one missed PAT (which I get, he was with the team for a few days and it takes time to get used to your fellow special teams players), but we do need a legit kicker - look how well Blair Walsh did for the VIkings last year.

I'm ok with Richardson. Not a fan of T. Williams, there will probably be a WR available in the 2nd I like better than him. Poyer's stock has supposedly been falling, but I doubt he falls to the 4th.

If this mock is how it turned out, I'd be happy with it.

Who the fug said Poyer's stock was dropping and for what reason lol?

It could be because of his arrest last year:

It sounds like an isolated incident blown out of proportion. I don't see why he'd drop either.

On the draft:

Richardson would be a good direction don't get me wrong but I just don't think he will be the BPA when we pick and that's what I'm looking for. There's a slim chance T-Will falls but I just don't see it happening and Poyer as mentioned is going to be long gone by round 4. Uzzi is an interesting prospect.

    • The coach- Canales was a rookie hc and at times looked like it. But he did manage to revamp the offense, helped Bryce not look like the biggest bust of the draft, exuded positivity,  and made the panthers watchable again. We have a viable head coach for the first time since rivera The gm- Morgan had some hits and some big misses. Hits- the ol, Coker,demani, dj at first. Misses- almost every d player signed, brooks, the jury is out on x. I get what he was trying to do with brooks/Hubbard but it blew up in his face. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes. But he did trade mingo for a 4th, managed to get a 2nd rounder this year from the Rams and I am a fan of constantly churning the bottom of the roster The draft- x can be a solid player but not until he catches the ball, brooks was a high risk pick that didn't work out, Wallace, demani and Chau Smith can be solid contributors and showed glimpses, Coker and jt should be mainstays. And flipping a 7th round lb that was about to be cut for Jackson was a great move.  The offense- had its ups and downs but Bryce has turned from one of the biggest busts in nfl history to a potential franchise qb, that change is worth its weight in gold, thielen was crafty and underrated as usual, Coker was a gem, jt was the solid but has some growing to do, and Hubbard has been awesome, the o line was much improved as well The defense- well...they set records, injuries, poor coaching (imo), bad playcalling and just plain sucking this defense needs everything to change, we need horn and Jackson back and we get brown back but we need bodies and an identity. If they can do with the def what they did with the o then we can challenge for the division bc we already have some pieces there.  Overall- this was a growth year full of questions and some of the major ones were answered(qb, coach). For the first time in a long time the season didn't end depressingly and I do have cautious optimism for next year. But they need to learn from the mistakes of 2024 and if they do I like where this team is headed. On to the draft and 2025
    • I disagree. It’s not hard to double a WR and still play the run. It’s called a bracket which you can use with a drop down safety or an OLB. Look up how it’s done. Also in obvious passing situations, doubling a wr is not hard. Falcons torched us in obvious passing situations time after time. 2 min drill, 3rd and long to where there’s no excuse to not focus more on Drake London. Mooney was out. London was the only WR Penix was looking at.  Evero simply can’t make adjustments. He’ll most likely be fired next year. Wish we would’ve just ripped the bandaid off this year. To call all people morons who think we can do better than Evero is a very ignorant and arrogant statement. Who the hell are you? 
    • As a rookie head coach, I think he exceeded expectations.  We looked competitive in almost all our games.  I don't think he's hit his ceiling.  7 of 10 for this year.
