Icege's Mock Drafts

[davos]

Nice write up. Should note Eze didn’t replace Brady. They went to different schools (TCU & BYU)

Unfortunately I don’t see Linderbaum happening.

Rhule’s seat is piping hot and he believes our 2022 starting center is already on the roster. I doubt he uses the lone pick in the first three rounds on a center

Yea, to be honest I think the move now is Ikem Ekwonu.

Which I am SUPER on board with.

I have been selecting your fourth and fifth rounders in my 7-round mocks.

Chad Muma has been in my mocks the last few days. Would be a great pick i think, assuming he makes it.

Lemme flex thooo!!

Grabbed  3 rookie QBs (because I'm heavily targeting Aqeel Glass as my first UDFA (followed by P Matt Araiza and FB Jakobi Buchanon as my second and third UDFAs)). Trying to see if I can at least get a high-end QB2 out of it, hopefully a true QB1. I'm also looking at an RGKnee/CptKirk situation because of Strong's knee.

Plan is to have Christensen play LT, Linderbaum start on the interior, and then let the other two inside spots go to the best two out of Elflein/Brown/Parham/Lindstrom. 

Pierre Strong Jr is more competition for the RB room that is already loaded with CMC/Chuba/Ameer. At this point, I figure at the very least we can still make our strengths stronger in order to not miss a beat should a player be a part of a transaction or injury.

The team is set to lose Reddick + Haynes, so we need to replenish the pass rush. YGM has made me eat crow and Brian Burns is Brian Burns, so let's go grab Josh Paschal and Eyioma Uwazurike to provide depth + develop.

I'm a big Tommy Tremble fan, but we need a competent TE2. Jelani Woods is a former QB turned TE (an increasing trend after the success of Logan Thomas) as well as Jake Ferguson. Both are a bit more in the line of receiving tight ends, but Tremble is such a good blocker that I don't mind the TE2 being a better receiving threat than they are run blocker.

Decobie Durant is filthy value in round 6. That man is GOOD. Put him under Wilks' tutelage alongside Horn, Henderson, STO3, Hartsfield, and whoever else is in that room as the veteran presence.

Finally, I was also able to pick up the following 2023 picks while only losing a future seventh-round selection:

• Washington's second round pick
• Washington, Indianapolis, and Buffalo's third round picks
• Baltimore's fifth round pick

Linebacker is still a need, as well as safety depth (I tried to fix it all! I swear!). I think this at the very least though gives the team the best chance to compete under its given circumstances while also bringing in quality talent.

Charles Cross vs Alabama this year

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probably the best pass protecting LT in the draft.  Don't be surprised if pass-oriented new Jags HC Doug Pederson makes Cross the 1.1 selection.  

[BlitzMonster]

I love Linderbaum but don't know if the value is there at #6.   Teams can find starting C in rounds 3 or 4 of most drafts.  So the 6th overall pick is pretty high for him.

Now if new OL Coach Campen loved the kid, I'd change my tune and happily welcome him to the Panthers' roster.  Campen really knows his stuff so whatever OL he likes, I'm down with drafting.

After thinking about it, and because I've been busy af for the last cpl of months without any relief in sight until June, a Willis draft would basically be the same but with Obinna Eze (OT, TCU) in the 6th and Willis at #6 ofc.

@Icege you want to do another one. David Ojabo tore his achilles during his pro-day. 

Personally I have huge doubts Jermaine Johnson falls to 15th and 1-3 edges to start would be a first. Still looks just as good as the others.
