1. Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa
It's that time of year again where fans divide themselves into two camps: LT or QB? I'd like to propose a 3rd camp: Center. LT is commonly screamed for as the 2nd most important position on a team due to protecting the QB's blindside, but the league's best pass rushers aren't coming from just the blindside. They're coming from all angles! I recall reading an article years and years ago that did a deep dive into which position was statistically the most devastating to a team and QB was shockingly #2. Losing a center was the biggest impact to a team's playoff chances, according to the data. Am I proposing that the center is the most important position on the field? Absolutely not. Am I proposing that drafting the best offensive lineman is more beneficial to the Panthers than drafting the 2nd best tackle after the Jets inevitably scoop Evan Neal to replace Morgan Moses after his 1-yr deal expires? Yes, I most certainly am. Tyler Linderbaum is THE #1 OL prospect this year, and he's got the type of background you want in an interior lineman: a former heavyweight wrestler (so he's great with hand fighting and leverage), former defensive lineman (so he's got that built in nastiness), Academic All-Big Ten (so he's a hard study), and more. He's also a leader, being one of seven sophomores named to the 2020 Iowa Leadership Group and also majoring in enterprise leadership. This dude is a beast, and having him and Chrisensen on rookie deals together will help with offsetting Taylor Moton's escalating cost.

4. Chad Muma, LB, Wyoming
I'm just going to let the good folks that handler Wyoming's website do the talking for me on this one regarding his 2020 season that followed up his break out 2019 year: "Chad Muma ranked No. 2 in the Mountain West and No. 6 in the nation in tackles averaging 11.8 tackles per game.  Muma also ranked No. 8 in the MW and No. 41 in the nation in tackles for loss, averaging 1.3 TFLs per game, with 8.0 total tackles for loss on the season.  He also averaged 5.5 solo tackles per game to rank No. 4 in the Mountain West and No. 20 in the country.  The junior led Wyoming in tackles (72), tackles for loss (8.0), sacks (3.0) and solo tackles (39). Other statistical categories he ranked among Mountain West leaders this season are: No. 8 in fumbles recovered (1) and No. 14 in sacks (0.50 per game / 3.0 total sacks). Muma recorded five double-figure tackles games in the six games he played during the season, including: a career best 17 at Colorado State, 14 at Nevada, 13 vs. Boise State, 10 at UNLV and 10 at New Mexico.  At Nevada, Muma had 14 tackles, including 10 solo tackles, 1.0 TFL and 1 forced fumble.  Versus Hawai'i, he was credited with 7 tackles, 1 fumble recovery and 1 pass breakup.  At Colorado State, he recorded a career high 17 tackles, including 1.5 TFLs.  At UNLV, Muma had career highs of 3.5 TFLs for 26 yards and 3.0 sacks for 25 yards to go with 10 total tackles.  Against New Mexico, the junior made 10 tackles, including 2.0 TFLs, and he concluded the season with 13 tackles vs. Boise State."

5. Obinna Eze, OT, TCU
An absolute mammoth of a human being, Obinna Eze stands in at 6'8" while weighing in at 315 lbs. He transferred to TCU to replace the Panthers' own Brady Christensen a LT after being a multi-year starter at Memphis. Eze is a little bit inexperienced with the game of football, having only had two years of HS (1yr of varsity) football due to Tennessee eligibility rules regarding international transfers (his family is from Nigeria). He's got the meme-able measurables that Matt Rhule has barked about, though his height and experience do show with his pad level from time to time. He's physical in the run game and those long arms allow him to reach out and grab rushers before they can get momentum to bull rush him.

5. Matt Araiza, P, San Diego State
THE PUNT GOD. GO ON TWITTER AND LOOK THIS MAN UP RIGHT NOW.

6. Chase Lucas, CB, Arizona State
A versatile corner that can play inside or outside that is also an efficient tackler, Lucas would be solid depth for an already talented position group. He was a US Army All-American High School RB before converting to CB in college. Those RB ball skills show up once he secures the ball and he becomes a threat to score, so there might be some potential as a returner as well. He's got great instincts and also shows good route recognition, so he'll be able to contribute early on in zone coverage. I expected him to take a bigger step forward as a player this season since he was returning as a graduate student, but there wasn't much of a difference production wise.

7. Reed Blankenship, S, Middle Tennessee
Reed Blankenship is an incredible athlete. He runs the 40 in the 4.50s, posted a 38" vertical, and a 10' broad jump. When he was in high school, he showed incredible versatility by rushing for over 3k yds, passing for over 1k yds, and receiving for over 1k yds. There was significant time missed in 2019 due to a broken leg, but he showed no signs of slowing down following the recovery. He's shown the ability to cover over the top as well as line up at the nickel to cover or blitz. The kid is also a two year captain and is a core special teamer for MTSU. He could realistically compete for a roster or practice squad spot, work his way on to special teams, and potentially even be able to rotate in on the defense as early as his second year.

 

 

Going to probably pushing out a bunch of different mocks until the draft, so I'll just update this thread as I finalize them. :3

Would love this draft, only thing that would make me happier is we drafted him because we traded down 2-4 picks to get a 2nd or 3rd back.

Currently, I have Carson Strong mocked to us in the second if we can trade down and still nab Linderbaum :3

Nice work.

 

Personally I never use picks on ST *rare exceptions*. Plus no CB is needed unless he is rounds above the others in value. Need a minimum of 3 OLmen and at least one true LB(you have this).  If the whole draft was OL was tiny bit of DL, no problem with that. The one spot the panthers are deep with young talent is DB. TE is worth a late round pick too, in history those have given great results for draft spot. DL is not getting talked about, but I feel its a big need. QB is other option as well, some late rounder will get over-looked and be a 10 year NFLer.

100% agree on TE2 being a need, but I'm admittedly not up to speed on this current class.

There is a definite need for pass rusher depth as well. Reddick and Haynes are both gone, and Fox can clear up $4M in cap space if somebody trades for him. There are some REALLY good pass rushers in this draft too.

OL being as strong as it is this coming draft means we need to at least get a starter + depth that develop into a starter. A 3rd would be great to pick up if Fitterer goes bat poo with day 3 selections again.

Love Lindenbaum and Araiza. That'd be an ideal draft for me, though I do want to look more into Charles Cross. 

This is a deep dive and might be a bit homer because Army is my secondary college team, but if we intend on using a fullback or just want a short yardage guy then I wouldn't mind if we looked at Army FB Jakobi Buchanan if he enters this year pending service stuff as a UDFA or super late round throwaway pick. He is is 260 pounds of meat and has the signature Mike Tolbert build. Every time I watch an Army game, they feed him in short yardage situations and it's a guaranteed first and handful of yards. He runs with violence and while his YPC might not wow you it's a very stable YPC and he virtually never loses yards. The guy has went 246 carries without losing a yard in fact. So again, yeah it's against lesser compeition but if we're rostering guys like Ricci and want a short yardage threat  that isn't our QB/ intend on using a full back it could be worth a low risk flyer.

That Buchanon run was incredible. Missouri kicker probably feeling dumb af for the salute now lmao

The more I see Charles Cross, the more excited that I am that between him, Linderbaum, and Ekwonu that the team is bound to get an effective starter on the OL if they go that route in the first.

Nice draft.   I too am on the Muma hype train.  We need a legit MLB.   I've resigned myself to him getting scooped up late round three though.  Around pick 80 something.  Jets could have they eye on Linderbaum.  If we trade down we are likely to miss on him or Cross.  

Yea, I think Muma goes in the late 3rd but if he slips to the 4th omg pls run that selection up.

      GlucoBerry Reviews: A Comprehensive Guide to Managing Blood Sugar

      By stacielake · Posted

      What is GlucoBerry? The GlucoBerry dietary supplement is a cutting-edge product that promotes healthy blood sugar levels. Dr. Mark Weis partnered with MD/Process to create this unique nutritional supplement using a novel approach to holistic health management. The supplement contains a specific combination of natural components, including premium Maqui berry extract, Chromium, Biotin, and Gymnema leaf, all known for their potential benefits in supporting blood sugar regulation and overall well-being. Each bottle of GlucoBerry contains thirty capsules, which is enough for one month’s supply. The supplement is designed to support the body’s natural processes regulating blood sugar, improving the efficiency of the Blood Sugar Drain efficiency and maintaining stable glucose levels. By including GlucoBerry in your daily routine, you can take preventative measures to reach optimal blood sugar health and support your body’s efforts to maintain a healthy balance. This will enable you to take advantage of proactive initiatives. How GlucoBerry Works GlucoBerry is a product that regulates blood sugar with the help of its primary components, which work together in a synergistic combination. One of the vital components of this product is the extract of maqui berries, a potent antioxidant-rich fruit well-known for its ability to stabilize the blood sugar drain. This component helps manage type 2 diabetes by clearing excess glucose from the bloodstream and promoting average blood sugar fitness. Chromium and biotin are two essential elements that enhance the body’s insulin response, and GlucoBerry contains both these minerals and the Maqui berry extract. Combining these minerals transports excess sugar from the bloodstream to the kidneys, eliminating it via the Blood Sugar Drain, thus maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Gymnema leaf is another vital component of GlucoBerry that has been traditionally used in various diabetes formulations and dietary supplements that target blood sugar levels. Gymnema leaf helps regulate blood sugar in multiple ways, contributing to the overall effectiveness of GlucoBerry in promoting balanced glucose levels. The product enhances the performance of the blood sugar drain. It encourages glucose regulation, providing a holistic approach to managing blood sugar and assisting individuals in reaching and maintaining optimal blood sugar health.   GlucoBerry Ingredients The premium formula of the Glucoberry supplement is meticulously designed to support balanced blood sugar levels and overall wellness. It utilizes a unique combination of high-quality components that act together in a synergistic manner. Each ingredient is chosen based on its demonstrated efficacy and safety profile, guaranteeing that users will receive the most possible benefits. GlucoBerry Benefits GlucoBerry has several potential benefits that can positively impact your health and well-being. The primary advantage of using GlucoBerry is that it may help control high blood sugar levels, which can significantly benefit those with diabetes or other blood sugar problems. Additionally, GlucoBerry may help reduce fats, which is essential for overall health. Here are some of the ways that GlucoBerry may benefit your health: Supports insulin production: GlucoBerry contains chromium, which can help optimize insulin synthesis and enhance its effectiveness within the body. This, in turn, facilitates healthy glucose management. Effective glucose regulation: The maqui berry extract in GlucoBerry can help regulate glucose levels by enhancing glucose outflow, eliminating excess glucose through urine, and generating more glucose receptors for better glucose transport. May clear blood sugar drain: GlucoBerry’s natural components may help clean the blood sugar drain, cleanse the kidneys, and remove excess sugar from the body. These capsules may also unclog the grey substance that causes high blood sugar, which can be dangerous for the body and even affect the kidneys and heart. It may help to release fats from the body: GlucoBerry capsules may help burn extra fat, reduce obesity, and stop the accumulation of fat, making you look young and attractive.

The manufacturers, headquartered in the United States, place a high priority on quality, ensuring that the supplement does not contain any fake ingredients and maintains normal glucose levels. Reduces sugar cravings: The maqui berry extract in GlucoBerry helps maintain glycemic control, reducing sugar cravings and preventing excessive consumption of carbohydrates and sweet meals. Right Dosage Suggestion for GlucoBerry For best results, one capsule of GlucoBerry daily with food is recommended. To experience the benefits of the capsule throughout the day, it is advisable to take it in the morning. As each person’s body reacts differently, outcomes may vary. Some users may notice an improvement in their energy levels within a few days, while others may see the long-term benefits of improved blood sugar regulation after several weeks or months have passed. To achieve the best possible results, it is essential to follow the dosage instructions that come with the product, maintain a healthy diet, and engage in regular physical exercise. Before starting to use GlucoBerry, it is crucial to consult a healthcare expert, just like with any other dietary supplement.

      Houston is not what I would call a "gaudy metropolis." There is only one area in Texas that fits that description and it's Dallas/Forth Worth. Houston is quite a bit dingier/dirtier by comparison, IMO. Also, Houston has a VERY large footprint and so despite being a significantly larger city than CLT it typically doesn't feel more densely populated than CLT in the downtown area(sometimes it feels less so on foot).  In general it's not a fair comparison because Houston metro is about 2.5 times the size of Charlotte metro. It doesn't take much in terms of support there to keep a team afloat.
