Huddle Mock Draft: Round 3 (Pick 65)

[firstdayfan]

Sorry for the late posting of the next poll for the 65th pick in the draft...I've been busy most of the day. Just to recap Cam Newton won the voting for the first pick in the draft. Next up is the 65th pick...I've selected 6 names that are generally expected to be available at that time. I've looked on several different websites and collaborated a ton of mocks to come up with these names so if there is a guy you don't see consider him already picked.

Here we go...and remember in this mock draft Cam Newton was the number one pick for the Panthers.

Top DT.

Ballard represents best value but doesn't really fit...Jenkins and McClain are decent options and Wright is a solid corner and the Panthers had interest in him. I selected Gilbert because I feel like Otah wont be ready and Gilbert could step in at right tackle and/or compete at right guard.

Hankerson might not be there but I saw that mock that was posted yesterday that had us taking him...I don't see it but if Smith is gone we will depth at WR.

I agree 100%...but like I said I've seen it in a few mocks and I really wanted to gauge what people thought. I personally believe that if we don't pick AJ Green we won't pick a WR the rest of the draft...same situation with Cam.

Terrell McClain looks like he has a motor...

[JawnyBlaze]

Jenkins has nice moves off the snap. I think there'll be a surprise person available with our 3rd though. Like Ras-I Dowling or someone that we'll go with. People are talking about Ben Ijalana falling too.

[eViL jEsTeR]

none of these

Hank catches everything

Rounds 3A/3B need to be DT/CB or vice versa. If Newton is the first pick, the 3rd rounders should be given to Rivera/McDermott for drafting players that fit Buddy Ryan scheme. There may be some suprises there with prospects that don't fit our traditional tampa 2 profile. Don't be suprised if one of these picks is some kind of tweener that fits the new D.

Based on the choices given and the need regardless of scheme, I picked Jenkins. One of these 3rd rounders really needs to be DL, new scheme or old.

That's what kind of sucks about picking Newton...it leaves you reaching for guys because of need. Don't get me wrong...Jenkins or McClain or Ballard all are good picks at 3 but if someone good falls it would suck to pass on them because of our desperate situation on the DL.

none of these

I guess I should have included a "trade the pick" option in this one too.

LOL what a homer of a website. Terrell McClain is definitely the better prospect. Jenkins comes off the field on 3rd downs, isn't a threat to pressure the QB, or has athletic ability to make plays in space. He's even gotten some series's off during games because he's tired.

I know it's from 2 years ago, but Jenkins gets put on his ass too much for a DT.

Todd McShay says Mcclain will go late 2nd
