Draft Availability / POLL - Round 1

[KB_fan]

I woke up early this a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep....  as I result, I ended up with 2 hours free to do some stuff on the computer, including a bunch of new mock drafts.  I was curious to see how the recent trades and Josh Norman's signing with the Redskins might shake things up.

For each of 28 First Round Mock drafts, I compiled the 20 best players on each board.  (I used 12 boards, but most heavily weighted the 7 boards updated since 4/19 - including using the newly updated (4/22) composite big board for 6 of the drafts)

In the poll is the consensus list of the best players likely to be available to the Panthers when we pick in round 1.  (All of these 17 players were available and included in the top 20 remaining on the board in at least 50% of the mock drafts)

Who do you pick Huddle (Your personal preference)?  In the comments explain your choice.   Who do you think is the best player of this group on Dave G's draft board?

1a-Kevin Dodd

1b- Josh Doctson

[London Loves Luke]

That's a nice looking back list. Kevin Dodd or Vernon Butler get the highest grade from me.

Yuuuuppppp, head and shoulders above those other guys

[Riverboat Ron]

BPA would be Doctson and William Jackson. Surprised Derrick Henry wasn't a choice.

[HeatCheck]

Doubt this is the route we take but I'd go William Jackson III

[Growl]

Sterling Shepherd, Williams Jackson III, Karl Joseph, Kevin Dodd..

 

Some of those guys you can pretty safely say won't be there, so I didn't choose them. Doctson for example.

Doctson is dominant and could be BPA. I think everybody has drank the Kool Aid on Jackson after a great combine. When you watch him play, he isn't dominant, he's a 2-3 rounder.

Dodd in the first is what I'd like to see.  I really want Shepard in the 2nd tho.

[LinvilleGorge]

Sterling Shepard no matter what.

[top dawg]

After going through multiple scouting reports,  I am going to be the contrarian and choose Hunter Henry.  I like Butler,  but I am just not sure he fits our system.
