My final mock.


Recommended Posts

NFL Mock draft.

Disclaimer: This is what I believe could happen. Many pieces have been moved around. I firmly believe many prospects will fall and certain teams will make moves to obtain position of need. Thus giving us a chance to draft a top ten talent.

With the 14th pick of the 2013 NFL DRAFT the Carolina Panthers select..

Star Lotulelei

Reasoning, his health scare and the rise of other tackles during his misdiagnosed condition. Primed the competition to leap frog his stock. Teams may also be hesitant due to said previous scare. Stars skill set is still present. He's a dominating force on the inside. Can play any tech position so he will be able to be an under tackle or be that missing nose tackle that the line has been missing for several years. His size allows him to be a nose tackle. In college he played both positions, nose and under tackle. The choosing of Lotulelei gives the Panthers a more potent defensive line, as well as balancing it. Dwan Edwards has proven to be formidable during passing downs. The sane cannot be said for rushing downs. The injection of Lotulelei irons out that imbalance. Star is not only a good pass rusher, he's adequate against the run. Given his versatile profile, he would mesh perfectly with the Panthers Sub packages, working alongside Greg Hardy, And having Johnson and Alexander rush on the outside.

2nd round:

Justin Hunter

Hunter is just what is needed for the offense. He has prototypical side and has shades of a legitimate number one wide out. At 6'4 200 pounds, a surprising forty time at 4.44 and a 39.5 vertical jump. These measureables are reminiscent of a certain wide out that took the league by storm, hailing from Georgia. Hunter is a bit raw and has had an injury but his skill set is present. With the right coaching he can become the weapon on the outside that the Panthers sorely need to supplant a crowd favorite that is unfortunately being caught by father time.

4th round

Jordan Mills

A rather unknown prospect. His senior bowl performance was decent, at 6'5 and with surprising athleticism for a 320 pound man. He did not face the fiercest competition in the division he carried out his collegiate career however, in the senior bowl. He showed he can hold his own and lay down the law. In the fourth round, this would be a value pick. It would also fill a need.

5th round

Josh Evans

Another value pick at a position of need. The safety position needs a huge upgrade. Evans was a decent safety at Florida. He was also a stand out player at the East-West Shrine game. He displayed an ability to cover well and was great against the run. He does not shy away from hits and is not afraid of making a hit. Something sorely needed in the secondary.

6th round

Caleb Sturgis

He kicks. It is not a secret the panthers need a new kicker. Sturgis has been clutch all his career. He also makes 50 yarders, with ease. It would be a solid pick up this late in the draft.

I think we have to find a way to make a trade or two. The draft isnt heavy with elite talent, but there are a lot of nfl starters in rounds one through three. I wish we wouldn't have traded up for alexander last year. Im fine with Frank, just would have preferred not to pick Joe Adams at all and alexander instead.

Then we could have went wr, s, dt in just about any order and gotten three day one starters.

If we got star I wouldn't be opposed to trading up in order to get hunter because I feel like if these were our only two picks we would be the biggest winners of the draft just being honest. Even if we did have to give up this years 4th and 5th rounders to get him. But I am really high on Justin hunter if you can't tell

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
