Sorthnarolina's Mock Draft: Trade down like woah edition....

I'm trying to make this one more in line with team philosophies. Build through the draft and no massive contracts for players outside the team.

Major needs:

QB

DT x 3

Needs:

CB

WR

OG

OT

Free Agents

Resign: C. Johnson, Kalil, Davis, Anderson, Rosario, J. Williams, Jon Beason(extension), D. Williams

Franchise: I know Kalil has been franchised but I think once the CBA is in place they lock him up long term. I have no idea who should be given the franchise tag. It's not economical and nobody has expressed a desire to leave.

Let Go: Moore, Marshall, King, Hayden, E. Johnson

Bring In:

DT Barry Coefield- This draft is very deep at DT so we shouldn't spend too much on them in FA. However, we really have nothing at the position.

Trades:

Carolina trades 1st for Cincy's 1st, and 2nd. Cincy gets Newton.

Carolina trades Cincy's 1st for Cowboy's 1st and 2nd. Boys get Peterson.

Carolina trades Cowboy's 1st for Tampa Bay's 1st and 2nd. Tampa gets whatever DE falls.

I'm not trading D-Will or Smitty. We don't need to get younger and they both affect team morale for the better. When the O-line sucked D-Will was the only RB who was effective. Smitty wants to win superbowls and destroy defenses as bad as anybody.

The Draft:

1st - Mike Pouncey OG - he's the best guard in the draft. Better than any tackles we could draft here. I doubt they want to get rid of Otah.

2nd(Cincy) - Phil Taylor - adds good size allows us to pursue more 3 techs and allows more

2nd - Corey Liuget DT - good UT

2nd(Bucs) - Ras-I Dowling CB - decent corner who well due to injuries. He's no PP but for the purpose of this mock it'll do.

3rd - Jarvis Jenkins DT - run stuff UT good for rotation.

3rd(comp) - Jordan Cameron TE - project TE from a blocking standpoint but he could contribute earlier in Chud's offense. Could be the next Antonio Gates.

4th - Mason Foster OLB - good for OLB depth.

5th - Alex Henery K/P/KOS - great kicker. John Kasay needs to be replaced. Doesn't have to be cut this year but we gotta be thinking about the future. It's like he's untouchable or something. New coaches might change that mindset.

6th - OLB Brian Rolle - we need better depth at OLB. The safety class in this year's draft is awful. I would go for secondary or O-line depth but it's just not there.

7th rounder went to packers in case you're wondering.

Discuss.

Heh, this is interesting. My biggest objection really is in the 2nd instead of going Taylor then Liuget, I'd go Austin then Taylor if he's available, Jerrell Powe if he's not. Also, I like Julius Thomas better than Jordan Cameron. 3rd is a bit high for Cameron regardless. With the 6th round pick I say just whatever BPA. We don't really need THAT much LB depth, we still have very good LB depth. After all the injuries last year and we still had a very solid LB unit. We already have Beason, Davis, Anderson, Conner, Norwood off the top of my head. (Yea I know Davis and Anderson aren't under contract, but I'm pretty sure they will be.) Jordan Senn will be kept for special teams if nothing else, and Nic Harris ain't bad either.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
