Final Panthers Mock Draft

Recommended Posts

 

I can't start a new topic because I'm a little babby huddler but I wanted any and everyone to see this

 

NFL Network's Albert Breer reports the Falcons are looking to trade up from No. 8 overall in Thursday night's draft.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm cheering like hell for this, seeing them throw away potential OL and RB contributors for one pass rusher, albeit a very good one.

 

Shades of the Julio trade.

 

 

Dimitroff is a moron. He should have been gone way before Mike Smith was let go. 

 

Not complaining, though.

What do you think he does if those guys, along with the other 246ish 1st rounders, happen to be gone at 25?  Do you think he will try to trade out?

 

 

They have some guys that will be available in round 2 that they have round 1 grades on. My guess is they would choose one of those.

Really starting to Love the idea of getting Devin Smith in the 2nd (even if having to move up a little in the round to grab him). Looking at his measurables and film, he is a raw OBJ (just doesn't have OBJ's elite route running). We have the coaches to really teach these kids.

OBJ:

5'11 198

32 3/4 arms 10" hands

4.43 40 7 bp reps 38.5 vert

6.69 3 cone

Devin Smith

6'0 196

31" arms 9" hands

4.42 40 10 bp reps 39"vert

6.83 3 cone

OBJ's route running and hands are what makes him special.  Smith doesn't have either.

 

edit: not saying I wouldn't be ok with him in the 2nd, just that he's not really close to OBJ.

Actually I believe Smith has the hands and concentration. The route running is the Huge difference. As you heard Gettleman mention OBJ was one of the best route runners he's seen. while Smith, many have mentioned his route running as a weakness and really didn't have to run a wide range route tree at Ohio state.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
