Chad Reuter of NFL.com 4-round mock draft

[Admiral Ackbar]

I'm really intrested in the route the Panthers go during the draft. I feel like the reason Dan Morgan "hit it out of the park" with free agency is due to their positioning in this draft. Most top defesive talent and the top OTs will be gone at 19.

I could see them trading back honestly...

Keep mocking Sadiq to us all day so we drum up a nice trade down scenario for us to cash in on some more draft picks AND land a monster on Defense!

That mock is horrible and don't like it

Taking a 6'8" tackle with a 5'9" QB just seems like a bad idea

Drafting based on height of 1 player sounds like a beyond horrible idea. We already had a 6'7" tackle

To shed a solid light, if Abney fell that far, he would be a great get. Otherwise, yeah…

If this situation unfolded I would trade back with a smile.  Numerous great options there.

"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).

The analysts are retards. The top 5 ranked “tight ends” have almost no inline TE snaps. They are lined up in slot or the backfield every play. Half of Sadiq’s pedestrian 500 yards came from wheel routes out of the backfield. He’s not going to be able to loop around the LB like that in the NFL on a consistent basis. He’s a great athlete. I don’t think he’ll make a great NFL TE. Watch the film, wheel routes out of the backfield and straight down the seam out of the slot, zero technical TE routes. Then put his stat line against Tyler Warren and say with a straight face you are looking at 2 first round TE.

While I'm happy with us taking Tet, the trade off was missing out on Warren (who I really wanted us to draft).  Warren was on a historic run for a rookie TE until Daniel Jones got hurt.  You can't undo the past, so taking Sadiq because we missed out on two much better TEs last year (Loveland as well) is chasing fool's gold.  If we draft Sadiq, there had better be no more OTs, DLs, EDGE, LBs, CBs or Ss left with a first round grade. Then, and only then, would I be okay drafting him.

Since Morgan and company filled nearly all the gaps in the roster in FA, mocks for us have gotten even more scatter-shot.  WR, OT, TE, DL, EDGE and CB, with WR and CB occurring in more mocks recently than in the past.

Tackle, D tackle, Corner is what I hope falls to us.  I really really want a 2015 Panther level d, a 2025 Seattle type d.  Something that just locks other offenses up
