Ivan's Pre-combine/Pro-day Draft.


Ivan The Awesome

Recommended Posts

The situation here is that we'd trade our 8/9 pick to the Bengals for the rights to Trent Richardson or a high quality Offensive linemen (David Decastro) for their, what seems to be, Franchise QB Mr. Dalton. We'd give them our pick and we'd get their two first picks. #17 and #21. In theory that would be enough, I don't know if they'd have to give us a little more? Not sure about the point system, I should have looked at that before doing this draft but I felt kinda lazy. HAH! But here it goes.

1st-#17 Pick: Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois

1st-#21 Pick: Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan

2nd: Markelle Martin, S, OSU

4th: Chris Rainey, WR/RB/KR/PR, Florida

5th: Cliff Harris, CB/PR, Oregon

6th: Dominique Davis, QB, East Carolina

7th: Drew Butler, P, Georgia

No fancy pictures, sorry mates.

I'd love the trade, but not a fan of Mercilus; he seems like a bit of a tweener to me but I'll admit to not knowing to much about him. I do know his size is comparable to LB C Upshaw.

Mercilus:

Height / Weight:

6-4 / 265

Courtney:

Height / Weight:

6-2 / 265

The reason behind the Mercilus pick is that he's an OLB and DE, Rotation with the Kraken, Johnson, Applewhite (hope he stays), would be the Idea. Or he could stay at the OLB spot, we need one anyway.

When I decided to go DE/OLB Instead of DT first, I was thinking of that Pass Rush need. I have another draft with the same trade back scenario except I'd take Devon Still with the #17 pick, and then Chase minnifield with the 21st pick, everything else is the same though.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
