Breaking News: Jourdan Rodrigue's new mock draft

[TheSpecialJuan]

ROUND 1, PICK NO. 16: CODY FORD, OL, OKLAHOMA

Ford is a versatile, pro-ready “mauler” type of offensive lineman who could immediately help the Panthers solidify their line. If the team wants to play third-year tackle Taylor Moton on the left, slide tackle Daryl Williams in at left guard and play Ford at right tackle, they could. Or, they could put Williams at his more natural right tackle position and play Ford at left guard. Ford’s ability allows Carolina the flexibility to move him until they find the best combination.Ford was also one of the Panthers’ final “top 30” visits in Charlotte on Tuesday, a league source told  ....

I mean.  I wouldn't be opposed to this draft.  Thats assuming all the DEs we are targeting are already gone.

ROUND 4, PICK NO. 115: RENELL WREN, DT, ARIZONA STATE OR DAVID MONTGOMERY, RB, IOWA STATE

Wren could back up multiple defensive line positions as he continues to develop, and be the heir to key rotational defensive tackle, Kyle Love, who re-signed with the Panthers to a one-year deal this week. A league source told the Observer in January that the Panthers had been interested in Wren for some time.

 

interesting ....

If not for that first, this would be a great overall haul. I'm just not a big ford fan. Feel his fit is on the right side and that is well taken care of for the now&long term. 

Her first one was very good and this better, plus it's realistic.

I think this is a home run if Burns and Sweat are off the board.  But there is a very good possibility that every othe round from 2-5 are all gone before those picks.  But hell yeah I would take this.  We need a tone setter for the run game on that offensive line.  Not Dillard playing patty cakes.

Always wanted Ford and this one isn’t mocking a QB to us with a top 100 pick. I’m down. 

[Mr. Scot]

Still think pass rush is a bigger need than tackle, but then I believe Taylor Moton can ably man the left spot. Unless Ron Rivera starts to believe that, I could see it going like this.

[Black&BlueBubba]

This almost all defensive draft would make me extremely happy.  Get an quality OL an backup QB and the rest defensive guys.  Then get a couple really good UDFA rb’s and Wr’s and we will be ready to go.  

[poorboysrev]

I wouldn’t be upset with that draft at all.  I’m a big believer in Moton on the left side be cause I’ve yet to see him not be good anywhere they’ve put him. Moton gives us flexibility and a mauler mindset. If we don’t go pass rusher 16 I like doubling down and savage is going to be a badass..then wren to help this team finally cut bait on big Vern and Poe and/or short next year..

Jourdan has done well projecting the draft in the past. Girl knows her football - and her routes :-)

Me too. People who didn't watch Daryl Williams look terrible at LT or don't remember the huge drop off when Remmers went from RT to LT, probably didn't even watch Moton at LT. Imagine a whole off-season being LT instead of competing at G, then being LT and then moving to RT in week 2. Dude played phenomenally in his first year starting and was working on 3 spots in the off-season.

Amazing how people think that Jonah and Dillard are guaranteed LTs. Again, feels like people don't realize how many tackles have busted or just become ordinary players.

Couldn’t agree more...a lot of even really good olineman would struggle being moved around so much... this dude has held it down every time. I think they found something special with Moton. He played damn well at LT vs Dallas and they’ve got some really pass rushers.People talk about upside, the only way we find how much he has at this point is put some faith in him and give him all offseason to be the guy. I want to see if this team found its franchise LT in the 3rd round ha, I’d bet on it at this point. people talk about how New England and Seattle built championship rosters..poo like that’s exactly how. Can’t have a full team of first rd draft picks that’s impossible.

And on the first round tackle bust rate...I’ve been saying that all offseason. People should go back and look at the “can’t miss” great OT class with  Joeckel and friends in it...I think everyone of those guys busted out or went to other teams. I trust Moton on Cam’s blindside better than any of those fugers and any LT he’s had not named Gross...and after this season who knows

I think this has been the most unpredictable first Rd draft pick in awhile. Nobody really knows because we have so many damn holes.
