Brian Strickland of panthers.com gives ideas in computerized mock

[Ken]

This mock is geared towards the O-line.  I guess that's why it's being hated.  Not sexy enough, I guess. But if Cam is going to stay upright, I  wouldn't complain.  Adams is a good prospect with good hands.  Hazel would be the guy that helps stretch the field.  

 

I don't care about going O-line heavy. I won't be upset if only 1 WR is picked.

 

I just don't like the players or where they were picked.

I would take out the DT pick and pick up another WR, oh and draft Aaron Colvin in the 7th from Oklahoma (dude has potential).

[top dawg]

Our OL is bad, but having two career #3 WRs (at best) as your starters, in my mind, necessitates that the first pick (or two) be a WR.

 

I could be very wrong, but IMO, you're a lot more likely to find a solid OL starter deep in the draft than a WR that would make a significant impact as a rookie. 

 

Diddy, EVERYBODY worth listening to has said that this draft is as deep at WR as they have seen in years upon years.  Now unless all these analysts, coaches, scouts and GMs are just wrong, then I have to think that someone will emerge as more than a No. 3 as late as the 4th round, and possibly the 5th. So, at best we will be able to not only find a go-to guy, but another receiver with WR-2 upside. T.Y. Hilton was a 3rd round receiver a couple of years ago. Keenan Allen was a 3rd round receiver last year. If there is something there, then G-man will find it in from the 3rd-5th. 

 

As for starting and making an immediate impact, to be honest we probably need an O-lineman or two to make more of an immediate impact.  The way we run our offense, we won't need probably more than one rookie to make a "significant" impact. I suspect that McNutt and/or King will be balling this year ("balling" as much as one can in a Shula-led offense). And hopefully, B-Will finally gets on the field and makes some plays with consistency.

You can hit the link for alternate prospects, but here is your spoiler:

 

1. Morgan Moses, T

2. Devante Adams, WR

3. Billy Turner, T

4.Will Sutton, DT

5. Chris Watt, G

6. Bene Benwikere, CB

7. Matt Hazel, WR

 

That's a decent draft, especially the first three, but I think that we go a different way in the 4th.

 

I could live with that draft.

Even the top OL picks struggle as rookies. WR have a lot better chance to come in and contribute IMO. Even if our WRs aren't top notch, they should be able to get open as coverage breaks down with an OL that gives Cam time. Not to mention Shula drawing up long drawn out pass plays last season and should he do that again...we need a line that doesn't collapse in two seconds.

 

We may have two career #3 WRs right now...but as long as Byron Bell and a random nobody are protecting Cam...it won't matter if we have Cooks, Benjamin, or even Smitty in his prime to throw to. The first pick more than likely will, and should be, OT for me. No OL...no run game, no time for Cam, no time for WRs to get open.

I like that mock draft.

[davos]

I like picks 1-3.  Not saying they would be the best option though.  And the rest of the draft I'm just not a fan of.

 

Davante is awesome and Turner would be strong as well but I'd rather go Fuller in the first.   

[JawnyBlaze]

Not a fan of any mock that has us taking Moses in the first.

[L-TownCat]

That draft is the Rosie O'Donnell of drafts.

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

[IamSoClutch]

I like it. We need to double up in the trenches and get a #1

[8 0 5]

I'd rather blow a dude than take that draft.

The fug? What's wrong with it?

[carolina-chuck]

I love it!

[Swaggasaurus]

This draft would be perfect if you replaced Adams with an actual playmaker

[scarface]

 

1. Morgan Moses, T

2. Devante Adams, WR

3. Billy Turner, T

4.Will Sutton, DT

5. Chris Watt, G

6. Bene Benwikere, CB

7. Matt Hazel, WR

I like the 1st 4 rounds.

Two good OT and a good WR, all that can start next year. 

Will Sutton in the 4th would be crazy, he would definitely be BPA. Hardy, CJ, Star, KK and Sutton would be an unstoppable  DL.
