Mr. Scot

That thought has crossed my mind. I'd prefer we didn't, but it's possible.

I'd just as soon that question how unanswered. I want a left tackle.

He was better when he had Golic. Taking him solo was a big mistake.

"Mutual disinterest" is back... This time it's being reported by Tony Pauline, though he cites Aaron Wilson's prior quote.

A tackle yeah, but not the same one. I've seen all three of the top tackle prospects mocked to us by various analysts.

NFL Network with Rich Eisen. Loved ESPN when they had Berman and his crew, but Mike Greenberg is a poor choice for a successor.

Doesn't have to be Panthers related...

I'm actually kind of shocked that no one has started a thread entitled "Cow Tipping"

For those who watch on an annual basis, I'm wondering what you consider some of your more memorable moments. First that comes to mind for me is when the Vikings failed to make their pick on time in 2003. In the ensuing chaos, the Jags ran to the podium to pick Byron Leftwich, then we did the same and took Jordan Gross. I couldn't believe what I was seeing

She made you Jello?

Sheena Quick on QB speculation...

Willis going first overall is definitely the kind of thing that I could only see happening in a dream Ironically enough though, Jason LaCanfora's mock draft has us trading down with...the Vikings at #12. Doesn't have us taking Willis though (Kenny Pickett).

From Albert Breer's final draft notes (link) • I’d take note of what Panthers GM Scott Fitterer said at his press conference the other day about looking at trading into the teens. Going that far down, rather than making a shorter move, would allow Carolina to recoup the second-round pick it lost in the Sam Darnold trade. If you consider, perhaps, a trade with Houston, you can see how it would work. The Eagles pick 13th overall, and that pick is worth, per the draft value chart, 1,150 points. Houston’s second-rounder, 37th overall, is worth 530 points. That gets you to 1,680 points, which is right in the neighborhood of the value of the sixth pick (1,600 points). We also, for what it’s worth, did a fake trade in the Tuesday rumors column that illustrated all this, and showed that to get Washington’s second-rounder in a move down from 11 to six, they had to package a fourth-rounder with their pick.

Given his contract and how indescribably awful he looked for a significant part of last year, I'd be surprised if we could get a ham sandwich for him. But ya never know. There were actually teams inquiring about him earlier in the offseason.

He's right though. Not like most mock drafts are all that accurate anyway, but they get even worse when you overthink them.

I feel like that's become the mantra of a lot of Panther fans

Fair enough, though I think ESPN has gone downhill quite a lot. Me and two of my closest football friends used to get together to watch the draft every year. Whenever they introduced Kiper, all three of us would say "Who in the hell is Mel Kiper?"

FYI: Brugler has us taking Charles Cross in his final mock as well, but thinks we're itching to trade down. For the curious, Kenny Pickett goes 20th to the Steelers and Malik Willis goes at number 32 to the Lions.

Big if true...

Not a big fan of ESPN since Berman retired. I like NFL Network with Rich Eisen much better.

We've got a GM who loves to trade, so...yeah.

Translation: "Who in the hell is Mel Kiper?!"

6. Carolina Panthers - Charles Cross I could see the Panthers trading a future pick to move ahead of the Giants and select Evan Neal. If they stay at No. 6, Cross makes sense. Or they could attempt to trade down. There's still a possibility Carolina looks for a QB here, as well. Mock Draft 4.0 Granted anything is possible but I have a hard time seeing it
