Draft Visits Other Than QB

[chknwing]

These are the players the panthers have had in for a visit, minus QB's, and their PFF draft board ranking.

I think this gives a good picture of what the panthers are looking for and when in the draft.  

 

12		Jaxon Smith-Njigba	Wide Receiver	Ohio State
18		Joey Porter Jr.	Cornerback	Penn State
34		B.J. Ojulari	Defensive End	LSU
43		Sam LaPorta	Tight End	Iowa
47		Steve Avila	Center	TCU
51		Julius Brents^	Cornerback	Kansas State
54		Drew Sanders	Linebacker	Arkansas
68		Darnell Washington	Tight End	Georgia
70		Chandler Zavala	Offensive Guard	N.C. State
81		Derick Hall	Outside Linebacker	Auburn
97		Kendre Miller	Running Back	TCU
114		Byron Young	Defensive End	Tennessee
128		Nick Saldiveri	Offensive Guard	Old Dominion
135		Zach Evans	Running Back	Ole Miss
148		Jonathan Mingo	Wide Receiver	Ole Miss
185		Charlie Jones	Wide Receiver	Purdue
197		Anthony Bradford^	Offensive Tackle	LSU
227		D.J. Johnson	Defensive End	Oregon
265		Derius Davis	Wide Receiver	TCU
305		Eke Leota	Outside Linebacker	Auburn
385		Bumper Pool	Linebacker	Arkansas

Glad Charlie Jones is on the radar. He will have NFL success as another overlooked WR.

you can see there's a nice pool of 2nd round graded players that they like. Possible trade down scenario from #39 to mid 2nd round

I've been saying a trade down from 39 would be something Fitt would do unless there was a guy they felt was can't miss sitting there.

Hopefully, they say no to drafting any RBs. Just sign an undrafted RB or another vet to a min deal if they want to add to the stable.

The 2nd round pick is really intriguing. It will be interesting on draft day to see if there’s a situation something like both Ojulari and Sanders on the board how the team values them. I’ve also seen some mock drafts in which all the players the team is most likely to covet at that pick are gone and that is terrifying.

I don't think the Panthers believe LB is a high value position so Sanders or jack Campbell would not be considered at #39 I'm sure they like them but there are other position, mainly EDGE and CB that are more important than LB

I don’t know what the team is thinking, but I’m looking at Ojulari and Sanders both at OLB in a 3-4.

I really don’t see the need for a RB in the 3rd at all. That will be fairly disappointing.

There is an RB that they like a lot who isn't  on that list, but he'll likely  be gone so it won't  really matter. 

I keep hearing Mingo brought  up a lot too. I mean a lot.

Not trying to be picky, but Mingo is flying up boards and likely need to be taken at 39 or not at all

Fortunately for us, I think he is that high on our boards. 

They really  like him.

I think Zavala likely goes in the 3rd. I'd be shocked to see him available at 145.

Unless we trade back, pick 39 is likely to be one of the following:

34           B.J. Ojulari      Defensive End      LSU
47           Steve Avila      Center / Guard     TCU
51           Julius Brents^      Cornerback      Kansas State
54           Drew Sanders      Linebacker      Arkansas
