Lance Zierlein is an idiot. He just put out his mock draft and has the Panthers trading up to 14 for Akeem Mesidor and PASSING on Caleb Downs. Sheer idiocy.

I bet they do these things to get a rise out of people. I couldn't imagine having to come up with multiple mock drafts with a straight face.  The whole genre is useless space filler to begin with.

USA Today mock using Grok-AI.  Funny read just shows how far AI has to go.

BTW it has us picking Lemon, only one problem

"If you're keeping score at home, Lemon is set to join his third team in the first round. Turns out, the receiver is a hot commodity as he'll also catch passes from Bryce Young in 2026 and beyond."

Fittermagic.  He was the absolute worst GM I have ever seen--worse than Matt Millen.

I dont disagree, and he probably would never have worked out here but if I was Corral I would have a hatred in my heart for fitt and rhule for how they approached his development.  An absolute catastrophe and poo show

Short response: Don't believe anything verbatim from any AI platform when it comes to current news events.

I saw a mock draft where Monroe Freeling falls to the Panthers at 19 and if that happens they'd better rush their card to the podium.

Jermod McCoy is visiting panthers this Friday. 

 

Me thinks those Michael Jackson are not going well....

 

I think the only way to draft McCoy is a trade up.... he missed all of 2025 with a bad knee. Put up insane numbers for his pro-day.

You folks should check JJ and Luke's latest podcast. They talk a lot about the LBs in this draft. I'll let you take a guess at who's Luke's favorite.
