Final Mock Drafts...

Ok everyone submit your final prediction on what the panthers will do/should do during the draft. We'll see who knows the team best. Here's mine

1st Round (Pick 1): Cameron Newton QB Auburn...I may not totally agree with it but this is a done deal guys. No one is trading up and they are sold on him to lead the franchise. If you disagree then you are in serious denial.

3rd Round (Pick 65): Jerrel Jernigan WR Troy... I actually expect a little trade action going on here and with the 4th rounder as bait. I think we trade up to grab Jernigan or hope he falls. This guy is a Steve Smith clone and could come in a work out of the slot next to LaFell and Gettis. He is a big time playmaker that doesn't have to learn how to be a wide receiver.

3rd Round (Pick 97): Jerrell Powe DT Ole Miss...Whoa, not who you would expect but I love this pick and I really think this is the kind of guy they want. He is a big run stuffer and could free up Beason, Johnson, and Davis. You stick Landri next to him and it wouldnt be a bad combo.

4th Round (Pick 98): Jonathon Barksdale OT LSU...I really don't think we keep this pick but if we do Barksdale or maybe a CB are perfect fits right here. I had a tackle earlier in the 3rd until Smitty decided to bail. It's imperative that we have a plan at tackle if Otah doesn't come back and Schwartz is fine at RG

5th Round (Pick 132): Rashard Carmichael CB VT...This would be a perfect fit if he falls to the 5th round. I love this kid...his raw but he makes plays and loves to tackle. I think with some coaching he could be a starter by the end of the year and kick Munnerlyn back inside.

6th Round (Pick 166): Ross Homan OLB Ohio St...This was a tough pick to predict but Rivera keeps mentioning linebackers almost as if they know someone won't be back. Homan isn't a speedster but he has a nose for the ball and has good instincts.

6th Round (Pick 203): Cecil Thorton DT Southern Arkansas...Been getting a lot of buzz lately about being a small school sleeper and we all know Hurney just loves those guys.

7th Round (Pick 244): Colin Baxter OL Arizona...Rivera pointed out OL as a definite need and this guy has experience at the interior positions. May not make the roster but could be a decent backup to Kalil.

Ok...there's my final mock. Let's see who can do better.

How do you go from may not make the roster but could be a decent backup to Kalil who is a pro-bowl center?

It's always a numbers game...just because a player gets cut doesnt mean he is a bad player. Jovan Haye, Tony Brown, and Jarred Bush are perfect examples of that. But all things considered I guess I should have used "or" instead.

I was just wondering. :) Yeah it always hurts to see dudes get cut and make it other places... I would like to see DT, CB, OL addressed in this draft. A TE maybe (I hate drafting TE), and I really want to stay away from WR, even with Steve Smith possibly leaving. Nobody in the later rounds will help us more than a vet in FA (when it happens) so dont waste a pick. As to who and where... I have no idea, because once Luck did not delcare, I stopped caring.

    • Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......
    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
