Both. They did a live draft the other night, where they alternated making picks. They had the Panthers taking Humphries with Beasley, Landon Collins, Shane Ray and Kendricks all still on the board.

 

 

That was the worst mock ever.  Had Beasley dropping to 36.  McShay picked Lockett for us in second round to keep Kiper from picking him for his hometown Ravens.  Yes, good way to run a mock.

A bit of bad timing for Jalen Collins...

Report: LSU cornerback has multiple failed drug tests http://wp.me/p14QSB-9L2z

 

 

(to be clear this is Jalen Collins, corner from LSU; not Jaelen Strong, the receiver from Arizona State)

 

 

These dudes just can't stop smoking that sweet lettuce.

Oh sh*t! I would still love him in the 2nd/3rd.  Began the draft offseason as a lot of people's #1 or #2 corners in the draft.

No way in hell Beasley makes it past NO.  Apparently he's the guy they're all over.

NFL Films' Greg Cosell believes UCF WR Breshad Perriman is in the top tier of wide receivers in this year's draft.

Cosell believes Perriman is in the same tier as Alabama WR Amari Cooper and West Virginia WR Kevin White, and can even "see ranking Perriman even with or ahead of White." Perriman has been shooting up draft boards since running in the low 4.2s at his Pro Day. He could be selected in the first half of Day 1.

that 4.2 made him some serious change

Yeah, my son was laughing at me because I was raging at their stupidity.

.@WillParker81 Devin Smith is highly thought of throughout the league. He will be a very good multi-faceted WR.

Devin Smith at 25? I would be happy.. thoughts?

His admission on Draft Academy that he thought about quitting football last year after a 3 game stretch where he only had a couple catches concerns me.

Thats understandable, but Star admitted that he wanted to quit football as well. What about from a purely on the field standpoint?

He definitely fills the huge need for a deep threat, but I'd need to see a lot more from him in turns of running the full route tree. I'm sure that is something that was addressed at his pro day and in private workouts but since I don't have access to that he's a 2nd rounder for me. If he showed he's more than a one trick pony in those then I'd consider it.

Agreed about Cooks coming into the draft. I wasn't a huge fan of Cooks last draft year bc of his physicality and ability to get catches off against press/bigger, stronger NFL CBs. He got banged around a bit last year and that is my only hesitation with Dorsett.

Ironically enough, I am a fan of Dorsett more than Cooks as a draft-eligible WR. IDK why, but watching cut-ups of both, I walked away more impressed with Dorsett. I think Dorsett can compete as a #2 rather than just a slot gimmicky WR like Ginn or Brown. I don't like the value at #25, but I do like him in the 2nd.

Only thing, the Dorsett hype-train is full speed ahead right now. I've seen mocks with him going before our #25 selection.

Yea it is odd, I think this is one way of looking at it. Cooks is more of a slot/smoke/grimmicky type that plays slot and has the body type for it. Dorsett is similar, but fits the outside more cause he can run better overall routes. You could "bully" cooks more, dorsett uses his hands better too.

I've said this in other dorsett talks, why didn't miami use him more? The guy is a weapon and match-up nightmare for college DBs, put the ball in his hands and let him go video game on defenders. It makes no sense, unless someone had a weird axe to grind or they didn't like players who average 20+ yards each time they touched the ball. I would forced the ball to him until he was winded or they stopped me. I like playmakers.....I like scoring.......and I like winning.

The hype train is a running strong with him and other WRs. Just the current times and last years class broke all sort of records overall is still fresh in GMs mind. Sadly looks like up to 6 WRs will be gone by 25. Three of which id hoped would lasted til 57 early in draft process.

      Looking ahead

      Sellers has bust written all over him..unless he goes to a team that can afford to sit him where he can learn the game and develop without the pressure of starting immediately. Not sure that is the Panthers. If we do go rookie in the draft, he can't be viewed as a day 1 starter. He does have potential, but I think it is going to have to be a handle-with-care situation.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      Nothing will change with the qb situation until Tepper is convinced Young is not viable. Until that point, it will be Young. During that time, any shortcomings of Young will be because he does not have the necessary supporting cast, and/or coaches are failing him with faulty schemes and defective gameplans.  So, until Tepper is out, Young is in.

      Young is the kind of QB who will go as far as the team drags him 90% of the time. And once in a long while he'll explode and light the opposing team up. That is not anywhere near where we need to be as a team. What' worse is that we've won way too many games this season due to an extremely easy schedule. So we can't select a top QB in the draft, and a free agent QB is usually not the answer.  The Panthers fell victim to a long stretch of bad QBs coming out of college. Even if we had made different moves and selected any number of different QBs coming out, we still would have ended up with a bust most likely. Bryce is a bust. Tua is a bust. Zach Wilson? Yikes. Trey Lance. Justin Fields. Mac Jones. Kenny Picket. CJ Stroud. My point is that a lot of teams were devastated by this stretch of bad QBs coming out of college, but we were dumb enough to trade the farm for one of them.  The smart move? Tale the 2 first round picks from the Rams for Burns, and keep CMC. Sit tight. Whatever QB falls in your lap in the draft, take him. Then use the other two first round picks to build up the o-line on the cheap. This isn't Morning GMing. I said take the Rams deal at the time. We have not had a good GM ever in franchise history.  No more trading up for QBs. Clearly is a total guessing game. Stay put. Trade vets for draft picks and start the rebuilding process with a new GM and new coaches. Cut Bryce and bring him back on a vet min deal. Then cut him again for being trash. He's done here if I had any say.
