This is off CBS Sports Mock Draft

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2018-nfl-mock-draft-josh-rosen-to-broncos-colts-grab-saquon-barkley/

I don't have his speed but he was productive his entire career at Alabama.  Not a one hit wonder over 2700 yds receiving in 3 years.

With Hurney saying we need to get faster on both sides of the ball.   Is this the right choice at #24?

There are and will be arguments for a safety, CB and DE.  

He is 6'1 190 and according to the write up.  He is is good at getting separation something we definitely need.

Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama. Ridley is probably the best wideout when it comes to creating separation in the entire class, and that skill is precisely what Carolina needs for Cam Newton to not be forced into a plethora of tight-window throws each game.

he wont be there at 24, carolina would need to move up to get him but yeah thats the guy I want

Not that these mock draft ever predict the actual outcome but at 24 this sounds like a good pick.  I don't really know much about him other than what I just read and rarely get to see any college games.

What stood out to me is 2741 yd receiving over 3 years.  This guy produced even as a freshman.

I agree -- I'd love to have Calvin Ridley, but to have him fall to 24 is a pipe dream. Carolina would have to end up trading up, which isn't a bad idea to a mid-round position (maybe 12-16). They could offer their 1st and one of the 3rd rounders they have (seems like a lot, but if Ridley is as good as scouts have viewed him and his potential, it's worth it completely -- not like Armanti Edwards was). I'd love to see them trade up for Sutton or Ridley, but I just don't see either of them falling to 24.

IMO, the only thing we need to be targeting at the top of the draft is a game breaking WR for Cam. It's been far too long, he needs a true WR1. 

If we got a WR in round one.  He has to be a game changer.  If we draft the right guy our offense will be very explosive.  Taking into account we also have Funchess, Samuel and Byrd.  I think the 5th WR should be a veteran Free Agent.

That said, this mock has him falling to us.  But as we all know Mocks usually last till pick three and from there it is a crapshoot.

Ridley could very well be there at 24. It he wasn’t from Alabama, I am not sure he would even be mentioned as a top 10 pick. He’s coming out of a school that produced Julio Jones and Amari Cooper. I dont see Ridley near those two guys. He’s clearly not Julio for sure. His celing could be Cooper. 

I think Ridley will be eligible to play in the Senior Bowl, which he should. He needs to prove that he’s as fast as the other guys, better hands than the others, and the best route runner to be drafted top15. 

James Washington is a RB playing WR; extremely fast. We all know Kirk will run fast and Sutton has size. And then there is Anthony Miller who is fast too. 

Not as physically gifted as Cooper. Better route runner but inconsistent hands. Would have been nice to see a decent QB throw to him the last couple years.

there were alot of mock drafts that mocked CMC to us last year. But it was within 3-4 weeks of the draft. 

If you look at mocks very close to draft time 1-3 weeks out, they usually get some first rounders correct.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
