My One and Only Mock

I normally do 2 to 3 mock drafts each year, however this year my work schedule has inhibited my free time so one will have to do. For what it is worth, I predicted the selections of Luke and Star in round 1 in back to back years and selected Brandin Cooks the following year (had he not been traded up for by the Saints, he would be a Panther). So without further ado.

 

Round 1: This year was more difficult to select for obvious reasons. Taking into consideration that 29 players will be selected before the Panthers are on the clock, they are at the mercy of some teams panicking and reaching for a quarterback, or reaching for the workout warrior so that a top guy can fall. With that being said, I think that Gettleman wants a pass-rusher badly in round 1. And he will find it in Emmanuel Ogbah. This guy just screams Panther. He is tenacious, athletic, passionate, and a high character guy. He is only starting to translate his athleticism to the football field and Coach Washington will help to unlock the vast potential.

Round 2: Many analysts and fans will be clamoring for a tackle here. But the tackles with any starting potential in the next 3 seasons will likely be gone at this point while other guys at other positions slip down. And Gettleman won't even have to trade up this time, he can stay put and take a guy he feels very good about in Tyler Boyd. This, ladies and gentleman, could be our new big play, deep threat, returner, and gadget guy. Quite simply, he is tough as nails and a playmaker.

Round 3: This one will seem to be obvious, and it is, but Gettleman feels stronger about this guy than other teams and doesn't feel as though he is reaching here in the 3rd round for him. He reminds me a bit of Richard Sherman when he was coming out of Stanford. Harlan Miller.

Round 4: Cam gets another toy here. Rivera and Shula finally find their Darren Sproles they have been searching for in Kenyan Drake.

Round 5: A guy that might be able to play 4 positions on the offensive line and give us greater depth. Willie Beavers.

Round 7: Gettleman double dips and finds another big corner with good ball skills in Daryl Worley

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
