Walter Football 2018 Mock Draft (Panthers)

[ECUPantherFan]

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. 


 

 

[Mr. Scot]

A draft where we pick two more cornerbacks?

Yeah, I'm not feeling that.

[brandon_87]

Probably the worst mock I've seen for us in years

[Murph]

Both of Clemson's DE's are expected to go in the first round. I'll take either one.

[joemac]

That might be the worst possible mock for us. We have like 1 decent playmaker on offense, so let's draft 5 defenders!

We haven't even see what Elder can do yet, Walter football just pulls picks out of their ass for these things for click bait 

[Lemory]

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.

Fine with Bryant, ok with one corner to develop for the outside so probably the later pick, Cobb doesn't make sense with what the offense is trending towards.

Sadly this isn’t too far off from what they’re most likely thinking

Usually when this is the case it turns out that one of them was being carried by the other. 

[uncfan888]

All the corners! 

[LinvilleGorge]

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.

LOL we do need DE but yea lets go all defense again just to make sure our offense can't do poo again.
