Definitely not too slow lol

To be fair, I certainly don't have him above Lance or Fields lol

would love either of the UCF secondary pieces. Grant or Robinson.

Or if you get lucky get Robinson and Grant and have a UCF secondary.

I also love love love the Richie Grant fit. Could take Grant at 39 and a CB at 73.

Definitely not true at all.

Panthers rd 1 (8): Penei Sewell, OT, OE Panthers rd 2 (39): Aaron Robinson, CB, UCF Panthers rd 3 (73): Tyree Gillespie, S, (MIZZ) Panthers rd 4 (113): Frank Darby, WR, ARST Panthers rd 5 (151): Deommodore Lenoire, CB, ORE Panthers rd 6 (193): Jacob Harris, TE/WR, UCF Panthers rd 6 (222): Alaric Jackson, G, IOW

Other Players in the mix for the first round: Micah Parsons (Lol obviously) Zaven Collins Jamin Davis Jabril Cox Trevor Moehrig Samuel Cosmi Kadarius Toney Elijah Moore Josh Palmer Terrace Marshall Alex Leatherwood Jackson Carman Jalen Mayfield Creed Humphrey Wyatt Davis Trey Hill Javonte Williams Levi Onwuzurike Carlos Basham Tyson Campbell It's a very stacked year for the first three rounds if you couldn't tell lol

I should be doing the Panther 7 round one tomorrow We would take Chase over Slater I think

Not really. Pitts is more of a weapon than a pure TE.

I could easily see Mond or Mills in the first round. We should definitely get therapy.

I thought it was Chris?

Stonks

Denver.

Do I even want to know?

I do think Parsons is maybe a bit overrated. I like JOK better as well as guys like Philips and the top two corners.

He is definitely one of the best players in the draft.

My guy has told me that Parsons is off their board entirely. Other teams have issues with him as well. Just takes one team though. I don't actually foresee him falling out of the first round.

Do I actually think Micah Parsons will drop out of the 1st round? Hard to say, but there are some serious red flags there. He could go as high as 9 or fall out completely.

Before I get the question. Hi, I'm Nat lol

I know you all have been waiting for it, and I have finally compiled my mock draft. I will be doing the entire first round and then the rest of the Panthers picks. This is based on what I have been told and my own evaluations. Before I start some things I should note, this will be the least accurate year for mock drafts for I think everyone, so nothing is written in stone. As another note, a lot of teams are going to opt for players who did not opt out last year and that could very well be a draft night trend, so watch out for that. Let's get it. 1. Jacksonville Jaguars Trevor Lawrence, QB, CLE Nat's notes: Obviously lol 2. New York Jets Zach Wilson, QB, BYU Nat's notes: Other QBs were explored, but they felt comfortable here with Zach for the last month or so. 3. San Francisco 49ers Mac Jones, QB, ALA Nat's notes: I have been saying this since they traded up, Mac is the guy. Internet scouts (including me) severely underrate the level at which he played QB this year. The more tape you watch on him the more it makes sense. Mac Jones is the #3 QB on multiple boards, including ours. 4. Atlanta Falcons Trey Lance, QB, NDSU Nat's notes: They could look to trade down and still take Lance a little later, but I think ultimately if you like Lance, which as I have said they do, you sit here at 4 and take him. He is the perfect fit for this offense, and gives him the ability to sit in learn for a year and flip Ryan for an early pick next year. Stonks. If they do manage to trade down, I think the #4 pick will be Lance regardless of who picks here. 5. Cincinnati Bengals Jamarr Chase, WR, LSU Nat's notes: Obviously this could be Sewell, but you get the sentiment that they want to recreate that elite connection between Burrow and Chase. They need to improve their down the field passing game, and Chase does this for you. They will obviously swing back in the 2nd and grab an offensive lineman in a deep class. 6. Miami Dolphins Kyle Pitts, TE, FLO Nat's notes: It's who they have wanted this whole time, and they sit here and get him. Elite level talent and a top three player in this draft. Slam dunk for the Dolphins who are playing chess. 7. **Trade** Denver Broncos Justin Fields, QB, OHST Nat's notes: Pssst the Broncos want a QB and are going to try and trade up to get one. Both of the teams ahead of them stay put to take the top offensive skill position guys, so Denver moves up as early as possible to get their guy, which is Justin Fields. If the Lions do stick here, I think the pick will be Sewell. 8. Carolina Panthers Penei Sewell, OT, ORE Nat's notes: This is obviously a dream scenario and one that as you can see, could easily play out. Slam dunk pick for a team that has been looking for their starting LT since Jordan Gross retired. If Detroit sticks at 7 and picks Sewell, Slater would make a ton of sense as well. Protect Sam Darnold or give him a weapon (Waddle/Smith) 9. Detroit Lions Jaylen Waddle, WR, ALA Nat's notes: Here we are crossing our fingers hoping Detroit does not stick at 7 and take Sewell. If they manage to trade down, I expect them to take the top weapon they can to help out Jared Goff, that is Waddle. 10. Dallas Cowboys Patrick Surtain, CB, ALA Nat's notes: I imagine Slater would be awfully tempting here but you have to help out a secondary that was burned all year. Surtain is a perfect fit and an all star at the position. 11. New York Giants Azeez Ojulari, EDGE, GEO Nat's notes: Maybe the first big surprise of the draft? Edge is their biggest need, and Azeez is one of the best edge available, being super versatile helps pus the card in his favor. Slater has to be considered here as well. 12. Philadelphia Eagles Devonta Smith, WR, ALA Nat's notes: I know they wanted to trade up to go get Wilson, and they want to trade up for Waddle here as well, but with neither of those happening Smith falls into their lap for a very sensible selection. Surround Hurts with talent and give him the best chance to succeed. 13. Los Angeles Chargers Rashawn Slater, OT, NW Nat's notes: Chargers are doing the happy dance if Slater falls to them, and they run the card up to fill in the massive hole at LT. If he is gone expect someone like Darrisaw to fill the spot. 14. Minnesota Vikings Christian Darrisaw, OT, VT Nat's notes: Speaking of Darrisaw, Vikings fill out the LT position to help protect Kirk Cousins and get a starter for the next 10 years. 15. New England Patriots Jaycee Horn, CB, SC Nat's notes: Patriots lock up their secondary in case of departures of Gilmore or Jackson, and create a deadly mix in the secondary this year. Zaven Collins in another ones to watch here. 16. Arizona Cardinals Greg Newsome, CB, NW Nat's notes: They have to be steaming that Horn went one pick before, but Newsome is an excellent consolation prize as a lengthy corner who can jump in and start right away. 17. Las Vegas Raiders Alijah Vera-Tucker, OT/G, USC Nat's notes: They have signaled what they are doing after cutting half their offensive line. Tucker provides elite versatility and can plug and play anywhere on the offensive line. 18. Miami Dolphins Jaelan Philips, DE, MIA Nat's notes: They get a local kid who is ultra productive and the best pure defensive end in the draft. 19. Washington Football Team Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, ND Nat's notes: Slam dunk pick for Ron as they nab the best LB in the draft, they are hoping he doesn't go earlier than this. 20. Chicago Bears Teven Jenkins, OT, OKST Nat's notes: Makes a ton of sense here, can immediately come in and upgrade their run game to be a mauling bunch. Would not be surprised with the shock of the night by taking a Davis Mills or Kellen Mond here, I know they like both. 21. Indianapolis Colts Kwity Paye, DE, MICH Nat's notes: Fits perfectly with that defense and gives them a starting edge rusher. Look for them to target tackle in the second round. 22. Tennessee Titans Rashod Bateman, WR, MINN Nat's notes: Farley has to be tempting here, but I worry about the medicals. I know they like Bateman who will be an immediate #2 opposite AJ Brown. 23. New York Jets Landon Dickerson, G/C, ALA Nat's notes: Protecting Wilson is the priority over getting an edge or corner here. Dickers in a big bodied elite level guard talent. Take him and run 24. Pittsburgh Steelers Najee Harris, RB, ALA Nat's notes: They are desperate to make the run game work. Tackle would make more sense but Najee immediately puts some juice in the run game as their RB1 25. Jacksonville Jaguars Christian Barmore, DT, ALA Nat's notes: They desperately need interior help and Barmore fits that grade. 26. Cleveland Browns Gregory Rosseau, DE, MIA Nat's notes: Browns take a risk with an opt out player, but cannot pass up the size and physical abilites Rosseau brings. 27. Baltimore Ravens Jayson Oweh, EDGE, PENN Nat's notes: Ravens take the BPA with a Danielle Hunter clone 28. New Orleans Saints Caleb Farley, CB, VT Nat's notes: Saints hit a home run on a health risk that fills a need. Will he fall this far? Only time will tell 29. Green Bay Packers Asante Samuel Jr., CB, FST Nat's notes: Competes right away for the #2 corner spot and makes the secondary a lot more rangy. 30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (trade) Joe Tryon, DE, WAS Nat's notes: Comes in and provides depth right away and helps out in an already dominant pass rush. 31. Kansas City Chiefs Liam Eichenberg, OT, ND Nat's notes: They obviously need offensive line help, and Eichenberg can compete for the LT spot right away. 32. Buffalo Bills Travis Etienne, RB, CLE Nat's notes: Traded down and still got who they wanted. Etienne will be the immediate starter in Buffalo. Here is the full version of my first round mock. I will be following up later with the Panthers 7 round plan.

Waddle is not a "slot receiver" lmao

Just my thoughts. I think Sewell would be a slam dunk at 8. If Slater and Waddle are on the board at 8 a decision will have to be made.

Hasn't he always kind of looked like that?
