Jakob's Not so mocky, BPA draft talky talk.

The NFL draft is upon us. Who do I want in this years draft? It's irrelevant. Whoever we pick this year, be it a WR, OT, CB, LB, DE. The main focus needs to be drafting a solid player. I'd rather take a solid player over a position of need that has a likely chance to bust. This draft is wide open, I feel like each pick will affect who is taken with the remaining picks so it seems futile to make a mock draft. But, that doesn't mean I don't know who I want taken with the 28th pick...

 

 

 

Wide Receivers 
 
#1 Kelvin Benjamin
#2 Brandin Cooks
#3 Marquise Lee
#4 Allen Robinson
 
Late round steal: Jared Abbrederis
 
Corner Back
 
#1 Kyle Fuller
#2 Jason Verett
 
Late round steal: Pierre Disir

#3 JaWuan James

Wild Card Picks:
 
LB Ryan Shazier
DE Kony Ealy (Highly Unlikely)
 
My three favorites guys in this draft are Kelvin Benjamin, Ryan Shazier and Brandon Coleman.
 
 
Ryan Shazier is probably the fastest LB I've ever seen. His plays are so explosive. The guy can literally run down the fastest guys on the field. Kuechly, Davis, Klein, Blackburn, Shazier, would probably be the best line backing core the NFL has ever seen. You can't preach BPA and be opposed to drafting Shazier. My biggest daydream is us somehow coming away with Kelvin Benjamin and Brandon Coleman. Standing at 6'5 and 6'6 adding that duo to Greg Olsen and Mike Tolbert with Cam under center would be one of the most hilariously unstoppable red zone offense you could ever imagine. Cam would thrive with big targets like that. I really don't know what our draft board is going to look like but, I trust our team is going to make the correct picks.
 
 
And please, if Luke Kuechly has taught us anything.. Don't judge the picks until you've seen them play..

    • Let’s be real, there’s no way the Bengals can trade him for less than first round value from an optics stand point.
    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
