Mocking the Panthers 8.0


Mr. Scot

By Max Henson this time, and back to the format of looking at Draft Expert picks.

 

You might notice a trend here...

 

 

Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN.com - OT Morgan Moses, Virginia

 

Todd McShay, ESPN.com - OT Joel Bitonio, Nevada

 

Don Banks, SI.com - OT Morgan Moses, Virginia

 

Rob Rang, CBSSports.com - OT Morgan Moses, Virginia

 

Dane Brugler, CBSSports.com - OT Cyrus Kouandjio, Alabama

 

Charles Davis, NFL.com - WR Marqise Lee, Southern California

 

Josh Norris, Rotoworld.com - OT Morgan Moses, Virginia

 

Drafttek.com - OT Morgan Moses, Virginia

 

 

So after saying we shouldn't pick a tackle, Kiper predicts us picking a tackle.

Kiper is a tool, but saying we shouldn't is different than saying we wont.

Moses is this year's Sheldon Richardson. mock after mock just stations him at #28. almost like an excuse to avoid thinking about the Panthers' possibilities. with 27 picks ahead of them, i'd say it's way more likely that Moses doesn't end up a Panther, if only just due to the randomness of the draft. but you'd never think that, analyzing the apparent "consensus" of mock drafters. man this time of year is annoying.

actually he said this:

 

“I think when you look at Carolina right now, the receiver’s going to trump the offensive tackle, unless you’re shocked and a Zack Martin (drops),” Kiper said. “But that’s not going to happen. So I would say a wide receiver.”

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
