Big Draft Risers

We all know this happens every pre-draft build up and once the teams start getting a closer look at these guys individually, players will rise on draft lists.

By looking at the draft rankings right now, you really aren't getting an accurate portrayal of what may end up happening or the order of being taken by position.

So with this in mind...name some guys maybe projected anywhere from pick 10 to the third that could legitimately rise once the combine and workouts get rolling.

A few guys that seem to be anywhere from 10-32 on some drafts right now:

Dontari Poe (Memphis-DT), Courtney Upshaw (OLB Bama), Mark Barron (S Bama), Fletcher Cox (DT-DE Miss State), Cordy Glenn (OT/OG, UGA)

2nd Rd Potential:

Trumaine Johnson (CB Montana), Brandon Mosley (OT, Auburn), Ryan Steed (CB Furman)

and a guy who I think would be a great later round backup and special teams stud: Miles Burris (OLB SD State)

*Just to note, I think Upshaw, Poe, Cox, Steed, and Trumaine in particular will be very very interesting prospects to watch and see if they can rise over the next few months.

Your turn...go!

Personally I want Poe in a panthers uniform.

He's becoming one of my more favored guys. Overall, I really do think Reiff, Poe, and Upshaw have a great chance of being drafted by us.

I would think a draft with one of those three in the first + one of the CBs (Minnifield, Gilmore, Hosley, or Trumaine, etc) in the second would be very solid.

Cordy Glenn has helped himself big time this week at the Senior Bowl. He's done well against Coples, Upshaw and Ingram so far.

Definitely. The nice thing about him is that if Otah goes down, he could be a very valuable replacement...but if Otah magically goes through a season uninjured, he can fill voids at guard if someone goes down or we need some fixin

Cordy Glenn is universally being looked at as OG. According to Scott Wright at the senior bowl.. he gets to listen in on all the scouts and GMs.

unfortunately guys like chris rainey and joe adams (both of whom i want later in the draft) are impressing people like crazy out there.

i was hoping that they would be able to slip to the 5th and 6th round, but it ain't going to happen.

Yea, we would need to take one in the 4th round unfortunately.

I know he's Mountaineer but the Quick receiver from Boone is making noise. I think he has already interviewed with the Falcons.

He will stride up the board based on his size and potential alone. But the guy is fast to boot.

Everything I've read said he looked like shite...?

I guarantee that Melvin Ingram is going to climb the draft boards after the Senior Bowl, Combine, and Pro Day. He is one of the most athletic freaks I have ever witnessed. Some of his feats as a 6'2" 275 lb OLB/DL:

-Can throw a football 60+ yards

-Can do a standing backflip

-Can run a fake punt 68 yards for a TD

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
