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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By d-dave · Posted

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
