Round 1, No. 8 Mason Graham, DT, Michigan The Panthers have been open about wanting to improve the defensive line. Graham would be a big piece in helping Dave Canales and Ejiro Evero do so. The question is whether he’ll make it to 8. But there’s a chance Graham slips a bit after weighing in at 296 pounds (about 20 lighter than some expected), with 32-inch arms that scouts consider short-ish. Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker, who’s been a popular pick for the Panthers at 8 and will reportedly miss his pro day with a quad strain, also came in on the small side in his combine measurements. With the Panthers’ D-line emphasis, it could be another Georgia defender who’s the pick if Graham is off the board — edge rusher Mykel Williams.

Round 2, No. 58 Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas With the Texans wanting to move up for a wide receiver in Pro Football Network’s draft simulator, we were happy to slide back one spot and give up a seventh-round pick in exchange for another fourth-round selection. We then took Mukuba for the second mock in a row, albeit a round earlier than in February. But Mukuba’s stock figures to rise after a fast 40 (4.45 seconds) at the combine. Plus, with the Panthers replacing almost their entire safety room, this is a position that will require the free agency/draft double dip. Mukuba lacks ideal size (5-11, 186), but he makes up for it with a knack for big plays in big moments. He had 11 tackles in the SEC Championship Game against Georgia, then sealed Texas’ quarterfinal win vs. Arizona State with an interception.

Round 3, No. 74 Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State

Round 4, No. 110 Shemar Turner, DT, TexasA&M

Round 4, No. 113 Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon

Round 4, No. 127 (from Houston) Oluwafemi Oladejo, edge, UCLA

Round 5, No. 141 Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State

Round 5, No. 147 Raheim Sanders, RB, South Carolina

Round 5, No. 164 Andres Borregales, K, Miami

Don't love it, don't hate it. Pretty solid.

Edge is not getting better---and no OT was taken--so I assume those were addressed in free agency.

Id rather see an edge go earlier and a RT/swing T instead of another DT, or a mediocre WR.  However, you can't fill all our needs in 1 draft.

If we use draft pick on a kicker, could we possibly keep them on the roster this time?  (I know it’s a different circumstance this time around, but still…)

Different coach and GM

Is ok. I don’t know why you’d draft two 5T when you have Brown. Least important position on the D as well. It’s also the deepest position(along with RB) in this draft. The glaring hole…we had nobodies off the street playing linebacker last year. Would love something there. Oladejo and then David Walker are my favorite edge guys after the first group.

No, ultimately we are a few offseasons away, no matter how it shakes out.

I would like to see an Edge/DE, TE, and RB taken at the bare minimum because of the depth and overall quality at those positions.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
