Bumping this because Person predicted 4 of our 5 draft choices correctly.  

Young, Mingo, Zavala & DJ Johnson.

Even if not in near their actual slots, that's pretty impressive.

What a god. Salute.

Yeah, that draft was an A; Fitterer reached for every single player except Bryce.

Round 1, pick No. 1 (from Chicago)
Bryce Young, QB, Alabama

I still had Stroud at the top of my March 31 mock, with the caveat that I might have Young jump ahead of him before the draft. That day has come. 

Round 2, pick No. 39
B.J. Ojulari, edge, LSU

The most glaring need for the Panthers is the one Fitterer mentioned first in the above quote from his pre-draft press conference. I’ve been asked a lot whether the Panthers would trade down from 39 to pick up an extra pick. But Fitterer believes there’s a lot of talent between the 20th and 45th selections, so I think he’ll stay here and take an edge rusher to complement Brian Burns. Ojulari racked up 16 1/2 sacks and 25 tackles for loss over three seasons, showing off his explosiveness early in his career with a three-sack game against South Carolina, an LSU freshman record. Ojulari comes from a family of edge rushers: His brother Azeez has 13 1/2 sacks in two seasons since the Giants

Round 3, pick No. 95 (from Kansas City)
Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss

I drafted Mingo to the Panthers in the fourth round (at 114) in my March 31 mock, but I’m not sure the 6-2, 220-pounder makes it to Day 3. 

Round 4, pick No. 114
Chandler Zavala, G, N.C. State

Zavala has to be near the top of the list of players itching to move on to the NFL. The 24-year-old spent six years in college — four at Fairmont State, a Division II school in West Virginia, and then two with the Wolfpack after the Division II season was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19. With starting guards Austin Corbett (ACL) and Brady Christensen (ankle) still both recovering from major injuries, the Panthers could use another interior lineman, and the last one they took from N.C. State worked out pretty well. Like Ikem Ekwonu, the 6-3, 316-pound Zavala is a big, physical mauler whose father is a celebrity chef. One concern: the back surgery that caused him to miss the second half of the 2021 season.

Round 4, pick No. 132 (from San Francisco)
Terell Smith, CB, Minnesota

Fitterer didn’t mention cornerback among the Panthers’ needs. But like at the guard spot, both starting corners are coming off injuries so reinforcements are probably a good call. The Panthers have typically favored bigger corners, owing to Fitterer and Dan Morgan’s time in Seattle. Smith has a tempting blend of size (6-0, 205) and speed (4.41-second 40 at the combine). Plus, he’s not afraid to line up and play physical, press-man coverage — something else the Panthers value (see: Horn, Jaycee).

Round 5, pick No. 145
Cameron Latu, TE, Alabama

I’m a tight-end guy. And this is a great year for the position. I’ve mocked Luke Musgrave (in the second round) and Sam LaPorta (in the third) to the Panthers in previous exercises. But given that Hayden Hurst gave the Panthers five tight ends on the roster, that was admittedly too soon. In fact, Fitterer and Frank Reich might decide not to take a tight end at all. But bringing in Young’s college tight end would give the young quarterback a trusted target who caught 56 passes for 787 yards and 12 touchdowns in two seasons with Young. Latu’s eight touchdown receptions in 2021 were the most by an Alabama tight end in school history. Something else to consider: Latu matched Young on the S2 test by scoring in the 98th percentile, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.

 

Round 5, pick No. 166
DJ Johnson, edge, Oregon

Remember what Fitterer said about best player available? Meet Johnson, who made Bruce Feldman’s “freaks” list after playing both ways (plus special teams) for the Ducks in 2021.

Lady Panther pretty much nailed it, tell me again who Mel Kiper is?

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
