Todd McShay Mock Draft 2.0: Panthers pick Christian Kirk.

Recommended Posts

24. Carolina Panthers - Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M

Picks of significance:

27. New Orleans Saints - Harold Landry, OLB, Boston College

26. Atlanta Falcons - James Daniels, G/C, Iowa

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Minkah Fitzpatrick, CB, Alabama
The most dynamic defensive player in college football this past year was Minkah Fitzpatrick. He is a safety, but can play multiple positions on the field. He is a swiss army knife at Alabama giving offensive coordinators nightmares. He truly is the total package with his size, speed, football IQ, and athletic ability. He will be a cornerstone of a defense in the NFL for many years. 

18. Seattle Seahawks - Mike Hughes, CB, UCF

1. Cleveland Browns - Sam Darnold, QB, USC
Darnold entered the season as the No. 1 pick and appears to be back on top because of his arm strength, accuracy, and mobility. However, turnovers and decision-making have become major question marks with him this year. The Browns had the most interceptions last season 28, but hopefully, for Cleveland's sake Darnold's upside is worth the risk.

Granted, I have not seen this kid play, but lack of speed from a 5'11" WR? Is that really what we want in a 1st round pick? That profile said he got open a lot on rub routes and is not an ideal down the field WR. His consistent productivity is definitely a plus, as is his ability to help in the return game.

He's no better than Curtis Samuel, I think he was just a solid college receiver not super electrifying. Being a SEC guy I watched him a lot never stood out to me. He's a second or third rounder in my opinion. Panther's defense came in as oldest in the NFL at the beginning of the year, and in the last few weeks the secondary was the worst in the league. Defensive end and safety/corner(Worley sucks) are bigger needs. The defense is whats going to carry us. Kuechly even said got to get it back to 2015 form.

    • Got to give some credit to the coaching staff on these. You can grab top talents but without good coaching, they just fizzle out. We've seen that a lot around here.  
    • Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?
    • Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc.    I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter.  Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer.   UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find
