Morgri's Mock (only Mock)

I do one Mock each year... Seem's to be about that time.

While Safety is important, I don't think Ron Rivera and his staff value it enough to pick on in the first round. Cornerback, however, has been a thorn in their side for years, and they have, contrary to popular thought put a lot of assets into the corner position. Hurney also draft Gamble in the first round many years ago, so he isn't afraid to take a shot at a first round corner.

1. Mike Hughes - Offers solid corner skills as well as strong return skills, allowing us to keep CMC, who is a great returner, off special teams and in a primary roll as a RB.

2. Rashaad Penny - No one values the run attack more than Rivera and Hurney. Our offense has been run first since 1995 and that not changing. As good as CAP can be, the staff does not trust him in games and I don't see that changing. Penny is as solid in between tackler as you can find in this draft, and may not even be here at this pick.

3. Jessie Bates - Now Rivera and Hurney invest in the safety. A good enough player to start, but will probably rotate with the veteran Searcy as the starter and be groomed for the long term starter role.

3-2. Desean Hamilton - A great route runner that offers insurance should Samuels not be ready for the season. Can play inside and out and offers a great option on third downs. Knows how to get open in zone coverage, which leads to high percentage of first downs on his catches.

5. DE

6. LB

7. TE

Thanks for taking a read.

My only argument is drafting people based on "return skills" value is becoming irrelevant, as the NFL is phasing out returns because of the danger with concussions.

which sucks and almost makes special teams useless. the 2005 bears would be ashamed.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
