Perhaps this is just clickbait... but boy PFF is pulling quite a few surprises in their live mock draft today.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/draft-live-seven-round-mock-draft/

Solomon Thomas at 15?

Fournette to us - but at 40!!!  (They have us picking Barnett at 8)

 

They have the top 7 as:

Garrett

Trubisky

Allen

Lattimore

Corey Davis

Watson

Hooker

2 QBs in the top 7, yes please!   We'd have our pick of Thomas, Adams, Fournette.... WOW.  Best case scenario for sure.

The only thing right is 2 QBs taken in the top 5 which will push OJ Howard down

Panthers will pick up Fournette at 8 the move back up to grab OJ Howard.

I don't want to know what you do come Draft Day and we don't walk away with either Fournette or Howard.

Chris Collinsworth has published his own 1st round mock.  Now THIS seems VERY realistic to me.  Again, as in the past 10 days or so, all of a sudden, there are QBs showing up in the top 10.  Basically, even if you don't think they're top 10 talents, if you need a QB, you need a QB, and some are going to go off the board early.  It's the NFL.  It's what you do.

1. Garrett

2. Thomas

3. Allen

4. Watson

5. Cleveland trades up to take Trubisky.

6. Lattimore

7. Hooker

8. Carolina Panthers

Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

This pick is tough. Better players may be on the board, but I can’t get the idea of Fournette playing with Cam Newton out of my mind. Can you imagine a read-option with those two? What makes the read-option so difficult to defend is that you end up a half-step too slow getting to the ball carrier while reading the QB/RB mesh point, and whether that is Fournette or Newton, you have a problem on defense. Good luck with that arm-tackle. In any other offense, Fournette would be a two-down player, but the Panthers like to grind it out with power, and by the fourth quarter, those two monsters will have you worn out. I know they want to take carries off Newton and help that offense line with play-action — Fournette should deliver both. Now the Panthers just have to hope a decent tackle is still there in the second round.

PFF Draft Pass Stat: Led the nation with 85 forced missed tackles in 2015.

 

9.  Barnett

10.  John Ross

I could see this happening just like this....

The players I like the most:

1.) Garrett - Has the perfect sack artist build. That's enough to go #1. High ceiling.

2.) Fournette - Only compares to the best RBs who ever played the game. If you don't get this mack truck down, then he's gone.

3.) Lattimore - Has the speed to stick to any WR like glue. Rare prospect.

After these 3 things get tough.

4.) Adams - When a big safety glides around like a smaller safety you know you have a superior athlete, and the potential for huge collisions.

5.) Thomas - Not a sack artist, but a good solid DE with the heart of an angry badger.

6.) Allen - Not a sack artist, but able to deliver extreme violence at the point of attack. Bulky monster ready to maul.

I don't want to spend too long on this so that's the top 6 imo.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
