So getting back to the draft, am I the only one getting tired of seeing DJ Humphries mocked to us?

So now that FA died down and a few days have passed and we havent even brought anyone in for a visit, I think its now time to turn our attention to the draft since its about 5-6 weeks away, (which btw I hate the NFL for changing the draft all the way until last day of April, sooo far away.)

So with that being said, literally every mock draft that matters, from NFL.com to ESPN, SI, Walter Football, CBSsports ALL have us drafting DJ Humphries and I have to be honest, im just not feeling that pick. Now grant it im 100% a NFL guy and I dont follow college football at all (just never caught my attention and it just doesnt come close to the excitement that is the NFL) so im not expert on Humphries, but from the draft analysis I have read and the vids I have seen, I just dont sense anything special about him.

Dont get me wrong, maybe in the 2nd round or 3rd round, then again I am on the WR bandwagon so I might be a little bias, but still, I just know that im not feeling the Humphries pick. Personally I want a WR in the 1st.. Breshad Perriman, Jaelen Strong or even Phillip Dorsett. I dont care which one, I would be happy with either one of those WRs in the 1st.

Yes I know it all starts with the O line, but even with a shaky O line I just feel a true no 2 WR to take pressure off KB will have more overall impact than Humphries.

I'm not big on Humphries, he's not who I would pick even if I were forced to choose an OT, but if Gettleman picks him I'm on board.  Dorsett though, that one would be tough to get behind.  I don't get why a lot of people are infatuated with him.  I'd take a shot on him in like the 4th, maybe the third if Hardy is gone and we haven't taken a WR yet.  All I see in him so far is a 1 trick pony, speed.  There's probably a good 10 WRs or more in this class I'd take over him.

I genuinely would be surprised if we draft a T in the first round.  I know we need one, maybe 2, but WR seems to be the pressing need. 

 

I'm just not very impressed by this "deep" class of OTs.  Would not be surprised if we take Ogbuehi in the 2nd or 3rd.  DG seems to like him and he'll slip due to his ACL injury.  This OT class just doesn't impress me athletically.  These guys seem to have low ceilings.  Collins and Fisher are the only ones that impress me when watching their workouts.  I know, I know.  A bunch of guys are gonna start screaming about "game tape" now, but those workouts show you what type of sheer athleticism a guy has and those guys aren't facing the J.J. Watts, Justin Houstons, Von Millers, Clay Matthews, etc. of the world on Saturdays in college.

Impossible!! Its the only thing keeping me occupied football wise during this brutal 6 week stretch until the draft

 

Go find full college games from last year online and watch them - in particular, certain prospects you're interested in. Make your own mock draft. Don't listen to a bunch of guys who don't have a clue what they're talking about. Make your own opinions and decide which guys you like and want us to draft. Don't blindly look at other "experts" make mocks and say you're tired of it. Or do what I do. I've been watching almost every single game of the season over and comparing players at certain positions. Like QBs or WRs, etc. Compare certain quarterbacks against the same team. See what each player's strengths and weaknesses are and see where they need work then see if they improve the next season.

Dorsett in the 1st would be extremely questionable.

 

After that?  I could see it.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
