Chad Reuter of NFL.com 4-round mock draft

[TheSpecialJuan]

Pick

19

 

Carolina Panthers

Kenyon Sadiq

Oregon · TE · Junior

Sadiq proved his plus athleticism at the combine (4.39-second 40-yard dash, 43 1/2-inch vertical leap, 11-foot-1 broad jump), so he could be selected earlier than this. Carolina would love to see him available here to join reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan.

Hate it.

We can't ignore defense that many years in a row. The only case for offense is OT, otherwise, go defense. Still need front 7 help and a safety

Yeah if we don’t draft C OT or QB forget offense high. 

[Chief Keek]

Terrible, they're obsessed with Sadiq going to the Panthers.

First off, we haven't been ignoring the defense. We have drafted several defensive players, but, perhaps more importantly, we have added good pieces in free agency. Secondly, the offense was still kinda bad (27th or so depending where you look at). You can't just say we can't pick an offensive guy while acknowledging that the offense wasn't good. Everything is on the table.

Like I said above, it seems kind of counterproductive to say that we shouldn't draft an offensive player high unless they're at certain positions. The offense was mediocre at best. Sure, we had an uncanny knack to win some close games at opportune times, but the offense wasn't really good. To me, it makes little sense to put limitations on who/what we should draft when we need an upgrade at so many positions. What you look at is trying to get the best value--bang for your buck so to speak--and that's the way it should be. D-Mo has used FA to set up the draft in order not to be pigeonholed into anything, and that's the way that it should be.

Also, you don't really get good value by drafting a center in the first.

"Just a guy." That can probably be applied to any TE that we currently have. Now I am not saying Sadiq is all that (I haven't researched him yet), but I'd imagine that analysts are ranking him highly for a reason. If Canales is fully on board and D-Mo wants to draft him, I'm on board. The thing is, he may be gone before we're even up (which should also make people raise an eye).

[Aussie Tank]

Yeah not a fan
