I'd have a stroke if we got those players.

That's some 1st round talk with jenkins, I mean if the Panthers had a hole at DT, he be one of my top picks at 33 or 39. 

early in the draft process trice was getting 1st round buzz too, then for no reason I can can find, he's dropping. He had a decent combine/pro day and interviewed well too....must be some agent BS or medical stuff. 

Still wouldn't shock me if both are gone before 50.

A PFF with some different flavors:

33 (2) - Kool-Aid McKinstry CB Alabama

43 (2) - Roman Wilson WR Michigan

79 (3) - Javon Baker WR UCF

81 (3) - Junior Colson LB Michigan

101 (4) - Bralen Trice EDGE Washington

121 (4) - Blake Watson RB Memphis

136 (5) - Mohamed Kamara EDGE CO State

141 (5) - Malik Mustapha S Wake Forest

Trice did a post combine interview and mentioned that he puts mayonnaise in his coffee.  It was all down hill from there.  /jk

Traded a 3rd in 2025.

That's pretty insane if you think about it. Would mean we don't have a 2nd or 3rd round pick next year year. Combine that with us spending a poo ton of cap space this year its gonna put you in between  a rock and a hard space in the 2025 off season 

We really gotta get out of the habit of trading away future high round picks.

You must have been pulling your hair out under Fitt then.

Only 4 days until draft day!! I did an interesting one where I didn't get a WR until the last pick. But I really addressed other needs pretty well and also regained a 2nd round pick for next year(we traded our original 2nd rounder in 2025 for Bryce to the Bears)

It's hard to blame you for going defense early. It might be the most likely possibility if the panthers aren't absolutely in love with the WR options

By all indications R1 should be full of QBs, OTs, and WRs for the most part. We could be getting something like #3 or ,#4 option in the draft at several defensive positions that's bit tantalizing especially with extra picks. And possibly the #1 or #2 LB, Center, RB, and TE.  LB stands out the most to me as the best value in R2. High high chance you're getting the best ILB in the draft at 33 and that's the position our gm played lol

The Faucet’s Only Mock

Xavier Legette would be my selection for the Panthers at No. 33- However, I don’t think he makes it past the Ravens or Chiefs on Day 1.

In my scenario, the Chargers offer Carolina 37, 110, 140 to move to pick 33 to draft Jer’Zhan Newton to start the 2^nd round. On Day 3, the Panthers trade back again as the Jaguars move up to 142 in exchange for 153 and 212.

 

37. Zach Frazier (C) – West Virginia

The twice All-American center has anchored the center of West Virginia’s OL since 2021. Frazier is a big, nasty, physical blocker who can play downhill and move people against their will. With the only Center being Austin Corbett who missed most of last season due to injury (and who has yet to play Center in the NFL), Frazier gives the Panthers a solid option to compete for the starting role right away.

39. Troy Franklin (WR)- Oregon

Franklin brings height (6’3”) but lacks the size only weighing in around 180lbs. He has the ability to get open fast and is a deep threat down the field. In an offense that will be Play Action focused, Franklin’s speed will give the Panthers a home-run threat and explosive weapon.

65. Edgerrin Cooper (LB)- Texas A&M

Cooper is very explosive and has demonstrated the ability to control the field horizontally. He is an interesting depth piece that can sit behind Thompson and Jewell this year as he develops into a long-term starter and potentially replacing one of them in the near future.

101. Renardo Green (CB)- Florida State

Green hasn’t exactly blown anyone away with turnovers, but he has played physical and has no problem wrapping up or playing down hill against the run.

110. Cade Stover (TE)- Ohio State

Stover has been a solid pass catcher for the Buckeyes the last two years. He has demonstrated the ability to get open in the 2^nd level. While likely not a sure starter, he will probably compete with Tremble for the starting role down the stretch of the season.

140. Brendan Rice (WR)- USC

Solid route runner and son of NFL Legend, Jerry Rice. Panthers double dip at WR. At 6’3” and 210 lbs, Rice brings some much-needed size into the WR room.

141. Maason Smith (DI)- LSU

A very large and versatile guy, he can move around the defensive line and can even play the outside if needed in some situations. He adds valuable depth behind Brown, Robinson, and Tuttle.

153. Cody Schrader (RB)- Missouri

At 5’9” and 215lbs, he is as physical as they come. He managed to run for 1600 yards and 14 TDs in the SEC last season.

212. Myles Murphy (DI)- North Carolina

He fits the defensive end role perfectly for a 3-4. Will make for solid depth competition in the front rotation.

240. Joe Milton III (QB)- Tennessee

Milton is 6’5” and 235lbs. He has showcased some impressive athleticism and speed. I would not be surprised if he sits on this offense as a Taysom Hill type and holding various special roles.
