Dane Brugler Mock Draft 1.0 (from The Athletic)

At #10, the Panthers take quarterback Kenny Pickett.

10. Carolina Panthers — Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh

Flash back six years ago: Pickett, then a high school junior, committed to play quarterback at Temple for head coach Matt Rhule. Pickett re-opened his recruitment once bigger programs showed interest and chose Pitt, but this time around, Rhule might decide Pickett’s next destination. To fix its hole at quarterback, Carolina has unsuccessfully tried the former first-round pick route with Teddy Bridgewater in 2020 and Sam Darnold and Cam Newton this season. Unless they lure Aaron Rodgers to Charlotte this offseason, using a first-round pick of their own on a promising quarterback like Pickett might be the Panthers’ best option.

Obviously this assumes Rhule is still head coach in Carolina (sadly a fair assumption until proven otherwise).

Pickett is the first quarterback taken in this scenario. Sam Howell goes to the Steelers at 16 and Matt Corral joins Rivera in Washington at 19.

I'd add that the Aaron Rodgers speculation seems dubious, but could be interesting if the Panthers were to dump Rhule for Nathaniel Hackett.

Other picks of interest...

DE Aidan Hutchinson (Michigan) to the Lions at #1

DE Kayvon Thibodeaux (Oregon) to the Texans at #2

OT Evan Neal (Alabama) to the Jaguars at #3

OT Trevor Penning (Northern Iowa) to the Raiders at #18

OL or bust.  Trade down & take BPA on the line. 

But if Rhule is still here, prepare for him to have a hard-on for Pickett.  At this point, may have to hope he rises and we don't get the chance to draft him.  Not like we have ammo to trade up anyway unless we're sending players. 

I have a feeling a QB will be highest needs, from the teams perspective, going into this draft. Even if some fans don’t agree with it. 
I bet they will try to get a day 2 pick but trading a player or some late round draft picks. I think the first 2 picks for us will be OL and QB or QB and OL. 
of course if Matt Rhule is gone who knows what will happen.

SMH, seems like a heavy OL early type of draft. We’ll reach for a QB this year when multiple better options were juust passed on and then we won’t have another pick until round 4 when all the good OL are already gone. 

you don’t double down on a mistake just because you’re upset about how it turned out 

the usual crowd of huddlers will spend the offseason nitpicking every QB prospect and clamoring for the “safest prospect available” and then a number of those QBs they criticized for not being a gEnErATIonAL talent will inevitably become good players

If we let Gilmore and jackson walk, we will get 2 thirds. Just something to think about , Bc you know the FO is.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
