WalterFoot latest Mock Draft by  Charlie Cambell:
6. NFL Team Logo for Panthers Carolina Panthers: Ikem Ekonwu, OT, N.C. State

The Panthers tried to upgrade their offensive line with veteran journeymen in the past two offseasons, and they have the price with a weak and underwhelming blocking front. Carolina needs to bring in some legit talent for for its offensive line. Here's a left tackle upgrade.

Ekwonu (6-4, 320) put together an impressive 2021 regular season that earned him high grades from NFL teams. In speaking to one director of player personnel, they said their team had Ekwonu as a mid- to late first-round pick. Ekonwu has experience at both guard and tackle from the Wolfpack, but projects as being able to play left tackle in the NFL. He is a fierce and physical run blocker. While Ekonwu has some things to work on as a pass blocker, the potential is there for him to stay on the edge as a pro.

9. NFL Team Logo for Broncos Denver Broncos: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State

If Denver doesn't use this pick in a trade for a veteran quarterback, the organization could use it to add a young edge rusher or a right tackle. With the top edge rushers off the board, the Broncos could take a tackle like Cross who could start out on the right side but eventually move to left tackle for them.

The 6-foot-5, 310-pound Cross looks like a future starting left tackle in the NFL and impressed team evaluators in 2021. Cross has excellent feet, athleticism, and quickness to play on the edge. For the next level, sources say Cross needs to get stronger and bigger for taking on pro linemen, but that is not abnormal. They feel after a little developmental time, Cross could be a good NFL left tackle.

This is a huge reach. I’ve never even heard of this guy. Would be an awful selection at #6. Jeremiah must be related to this player. 
 

You don’t draft OL from no name colleges who don’t play anyone competitive  in the first round.

Penning is an absolute monster though.  You must have missed everybody gushing over him at the Senior Bowl recently.  He was completely manhandling anybody he went up against.

Having the choice of Ekwonu or Cross at 6 would be amazing.

He is sort of a less athletic Ekwonu, right? Same nastiness and physical play.

I am not anti-Penning. Might be kind of high at 6 but I wouldn't be upset. Now if we pick him over Neal, Ekwonu or Cross.....eh....not sure I would be pumped about that.

I didn’t watch 5 seconds of the senior bowl. Drafting a guy who played at a no name college and played against crap competition every year is not a guy I’m trying to draft #6 overall. I’m not saying he won’t be a good player but this is a reach and would be a bad pick.

So you didn't watch anything, don't know anything but have strong opinions against it?

This fits.

      The meat and potatoes: Out of 30 qualifying QBs in Week 1, Young ranked: Dead last in EPA (-0.60) Dead last in success rate (20%) Dead last in Y/A at 3.6 Dead last in passer rating at 27.5 How are you averaging just 3.6 Y/A on unpressured dropbacks in the first half of a game? Thinking back to that halftime deficit, I’m reminded of this stat: The Panthers led at halftime in three of Young’s 12 starts last year. They are now 0 for 1 this year. In his 29 career starts, the Panthers have led at halftime in 5 of 29 (17%). Since 2000, there have been 37 QBs to start at least 25 games in their first two years in the NFL. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than six of his starts. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than 20% of his starts. So many people were backing Young based on the super small sample at the end of the year when they thought he played better, and he did play moderately better. But even in those games, he delivered average stats against the NFL’s easiest schedule of pass defenses to close the year, with every opponent ranking 20th or worse. There’s never been a QB who rebounded from performance like Young delivered in his first couple of years to go on to become a franchise quarterback. Some stay around as a journeyman, but they don’t lead teams. The Panthers put all their eggs in the Young basket this offseason. The Panthers were the darlings to win the NFC South by many. Yes, it’s only one game, and there certainly are opportunities to improve.   The opportunity is to start someone else at QB.   I don’t want to see anymore debate in whether Bryce is the worst QB ever.  Especially not the worst #1 overall pick ever.  What a fuging bust.
