Walter Football 2018 Mock Draft (Panthers)

They've mocked the first 4 rounds... with Carolina having 2 3rd round picks and no 4th.  Thoughts?  I haven't heard of 3 of these guys.

Round 1 (24): Austin Bryant, DE, Clemson

"Julius Peppers and Charles Johnson aren't going to be around for much longer. Mario Addison is the only significant edge rusher on the roster right now that Carolina will have in the a couple of years, so the Panthers could go after a defensive end in the 2018 NFL Draft."

Round 2 (56): Sam Beal, CB, Western Michigan

"The secondary is the weak link of Carolina's roster. The Panthers need upgrades at both cornerback and safety."

Round 3 (83): Simmie Cobbs Jr., WR, Indiana (6'4" 220lbs)

"The Panthers will need another receiver to go along with Devin Funchess and Curtis Samuel in the wake of the Kelvin Benjamin trade."

Round 3 (88): Jaylen Dunlap, CB, Illinois

"Here's more help for Carolina's secondary, which has seen some shaky play from its cornerbacks.

Would rather go with Clelin Ferrell if we draft a DE in the first but he probably wont make it to us and we really need a WR early. Probably ought to draft a RB in the first few rounds because this is a very good RB class this year. Sony Michel, Nick Chubb, Josh Adams, Royce Freeman, Damien Harris in the 2nd should give us a big play maker we haven't had in a while. Once the senior bowl and the combine rolls around it will be easier to tell which guys are separating themselves from the rest of the pack.

I do agree with them though that DE is arguably our biggest draft need based on our current roster and our defensive philosophy.

I'd rather add a proven vet at WR. We've been trying to throw draft picks at this problem forever. We have a legit starter in Funchess, a promising developmental prospect in Samuel, and another good development 4th option in Byrd. We need a legit starter with speed to pair with Funchess.

I think what you, Walter Football, and I guess everyone else is forgetting is that the new owner will care more about the Panthers than the shield...and sign Greg Hardy.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
