So this isn't a bad mock in terms of trades and what the mock has teams going after.  Raiders trade up with us take pick 7 and draft their Derek Carr replacement in Justin Herbert.  Panthers receive picks 12, 18, and 80th pick.  With the 12th pick Panthers luck up and their dream comes true with snagging a top 5 player at pick 12 in DT Derrick Brown.  A few picks later Panthers pick their Kuechly replacement with the best inside linebacker in the draft in MLB Kenneth Murray out of Oklahoma.   I love this mock immediately fills out 2 biggest holes on the defensive side of the ball.

I would be happy if this happened draft night.  But we all know its up in the air until draft night.

Not a chance that Derrick Brown falls out of the top 10. He's that good. Like Murray though. Wouldn't be mad at the pick, I just don't think we need a MLB this season. We'll roll with what we've got and draft a depth guy in rounds 4-7 maybe, or sign a FA.

I think we stay where we are, guarantee ourselves Brown, and then go safety in round 2 unless a good guard drops to us at that spot. If not, we pick up a guard in the 3rd.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Brown falls, through no fault of his own.

Picks 1/2 are basically locks.  Chargers, Dolphins, Raiders (in this hypothetical) could all be fighting over QBs.  Then there is still Simmons (LB), Okudah (CB), Jeudy (WR), multiple OTs.

I am by no way saying it will happen.  But I wouldn't be surprised.

I think that Brown is way overhyped. He’s good but he’s no Suh or McCoy kind of elite prospect.

I don't know man. Ignore the title of the video and just watch. Guy has a knack for getting a hand on the ball and getting off blocks. And if he doesn't slip you, he'll blow you straight back. And he's great against the run inside. He'll have a shocking 40 at the combine as well. He's special.

There is a lot of player evaluation left but one of those top LTs and a trade back sounds mighty fine. Pick up a C with the extra pick and it would be fantastic. It's just hard to get excited about the front 7 on D when the new staff hasn't had enough time to evaluate let alone plan

They just gave that massive deal to Shaq for him to play ILB/MLB. So I doubt they'd draft a ILB unless they staying in 3-4.

I like the kid but I don’t think that he’s a top 7 prospect. To me, Brown is just a faster Dexter Lawrence.

Wow this is a bad take 

Derrick Brown to me is a faster Dexter Lawrence. I don’t hate the kid. I just don’t think he’s a top 7 talent. His stock his up so high due to the little talents available at his position in this draft.

Personally, I would definitely entertain the idea of trading back ONLY IF we miss out on Isaiah Simmons. And this is if the Raiders even want to trade up, but if not, my top priority would be definitely trading back if the Raiders are offering their top two first rounders. I really don't think Brown will be available at 12 if he's one of the top DL's in the draft, but possibly choosing A.J. Epenesa at 12 and Javon Kinlaw at 18 would be my preference. I'd keep my original second round pick to select a cornerback or safety, but adding that additional third round pick just cements the trade. You could afford to take a chance on a WR, S, or CB if you haven't chosen one or you can gain some decent depth on either side of the line with that pick. I'd like to see them go defense heavy in this draft, besides taking a chance on a WR and/or OL. Would be cool to see Epenesa, Kinlaw, KK, and Addison on the front with Burns, Miller/Kunaszyk, and Shaq all lining up behind them. Throw in that the team has about $39 million to work with in free agency and you could probably re-sign Boston and maybe Bradberry.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
