Frank's Full 7 round Panther's mock draft

In past years, mock drafts were allowed in this forum at this time of year. If this isn’t allowed, mods please move. We don’t have many holes, per se, so I did a combination of BPA and need for depth. You could make an argument to swap the 2nd and 3rd round picks, as they’re both expected to go around the same time, but I think the 3rd round pick has a better shot at sliding. You could also have a realistic scenario where we trade back, take a player and trade back up with that extra pick to acquire the 2nd and 3rd picks I have listed.

 

Let me know what you think, all feedback is welcome!

 

Emmanuel Ogbah*, DE, Oklahoma State

 

Kevin Dodd and Shaq Lawson will probably be gone by the time we pick. Good. I like Ogbah better and think he will have a very solid NFL career. Long arms, high motor and very powerful. NFL comparison is Charles Johnson, which ironically is who he will be replacing.

 

 

 

 

2. Pharoh Cooper*, WR, South Carolina

 

In my opinion, Pharoh Cooper is the most underrated slot receiver in the draft. What he has accomplished with weak QB play tells a lot. Also a return man who is shifty and fast. Good vision and balance and doesn’t always go down after first contact. Didn’t have a blazing 40 time, but plays faster. Compares to Randall Cobb by some scouts.

 

 

 

 

3. Le'Raven Clark, OT, Texas Tech

 

Great physically, great agility and nimble feet, but extremely raw. This guy will be an absolute steal if he lasts till the end of Round 3. He has everything it takes to be a starting left tackle in the NFL, but hasn’t put it together yet, which is the reason he could slide to Round 3.  Definitely not a year 1 starter.

 

 

 

 

4. Eric Murray, CB, Minnesota

 

A potential starter with a little work, and a great find in Round 4 of the draft. Good size and speed and it is said he would fit best in a zone scheme.  Solid in run defense and blitzing schemes. Voted team captain due to his locker room presence and commitment to the game.

 

 

 

 

5. Kevin Byard, SS, Middle Tennessee

 

Named team captain and can be seen on film lining up the defense and calling plays. Good size, but lacks physicality when tackling. Plays special teams as a return man as well as on field goals. Could definitely use some coaching up, but a good find at the end of Round 5.

 

 

 

 

7. Drew Kaser, P, Texas A&M

 

Bringing in a punter to compete with the Canadian standout would be a good idea. This guy is one of the top Punters in the draft with a 47.4 yard punting average. His career long is 76 yards and he had 17 punts over 50 yards.

Love Ogbah. Don't know Cooper. 

 

Think Clark will be a high 2nd, possibly 1st.

I think he is the least likely to be there where I have him mocked more than any other player in my mock draft. He also has the most mixed reviews though. While some have him as a future dominant left tackle, others are labeling him as the most overated tackle in the draft. I think he pans out and would replace Oher at some point, but it will take a few years of development. We may have to trade up to get him. Thanks for the feedback.

Pharoh Cooper is always the BPA left for me when I do that on the clock mock draft game. I looked him up and his twitter is @KingTutt_chdown. I want him.

If drafts were based on Twitter handles he may go #1 overall.

Excellent..... but not realistic. Completely needs based pics. You know Dave is going to throw us a curve ball in there somewhere. He's probably going to draft a TE in the 1st or a DT in the second or maybe a linebacker on the 3rd day.

If that's the case, all mock drafts are for entertainment value 100%. Which is fine, it's the offseason and things are slow.

Not to miss out on the fun, here's my draft picks...with no pictures and probably a lot less thought and analysis:

1. Hunter Henry - TE, Arkansas (total package at TE)

2. Carl Nassib - DE, Penn State (fast but raw. Could be great after a season or 2 mentoring CJ)

3. Javon Hargrove - DT, SC State (a fast fast fast sack machine)

4. Sean Davis - FS, Maryland (this guy plays with a mean streak)

5. Cody Core - WR, Ole Miss (big, strong receiver...G-man loves em)

7. Jordan Walsh - OG/C, Iowa (would go higher if he adds  mass/strength, and we have the best strength coach in the NFL)

I would be happy with the first two players. I though Nassib might slide a bit past the second round. I've heard good things about Hargrove and Sean Davis but don't know a ton bout them.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
