Mock Draft:

Trade down to the teens, get an extra second rounder

(1)

Fletcher Cox (DT Miss St.)

An absolute motor for a defensive line. He helps our line and ST-DFG unit in a big way. Two areas we for sure need help at.

(2-1)*edit

Vinny Curry (4-3 DE Marshall)

After some consideration and more searching, I realized Curry actually played 4-3 DE for a good part of his playing career so far. He thinks semi-linebacker after college which is good because I think he'd be fantastic against the run at DE which is exactly the type I'd like to see with Hardy. A playmaker. Yup

(2-2)

Jayron Hosley (CB/PR Virginia Tech)

If there is a CB who's been overlooked its Jayron. He's made to play this position in the NFL and the kid's straight got it. Hokie homerism aside, I've watched this kid play his entire career and want him on the Panthers. Last year he battled a some minor injuries well and pulled off a stellar season at CB. And he's not too shabby at PRs. He would be great back there with Gamble imo. Then we have Hogan, a FA & Butler at Nickle/Dime/Backup

(4)

Keenan Robinson (OLB Texas)

I've always been a bit of a Texas fan and I think Keenan would be a great fit for this team. He's a very underrated prospect who plays consistently and would be a very solid backup, potential starter, and ST contributer.

(5-1)

Brian Quick (WR App St.)

Here you go App State fans haha. Basically, I don't like the safeties or o-lineman here for us in the draft. I think we go with those positions in the FA. Then, we can focus on adding an additional weapon to Cam's arsenal. The TEs however remind me of Jon Fox types so we're looking at WR and RB-scat back. I see more in the WRs and think we need an additional red zone threat for Cam. Even though our offense drastically improved and we have Gettis returning, I think we have room to utilize one more guy beyond Smitty to compliment the likes of LaFell, Gettis, and whoever still is here.

(5-2/comp)

Jerry Franklin, ILB, Arkansas

Inside Linebacker backup boooom! He has been very consistent and solid for a few seasons now. He's just not super explosive top of the draft-like. Sleeper potential

(Rest of draft)

insert random ST help/sleepers/Russell Wilson here

every year a shitload of people are like "hurf durf gotta trade down fluhhhuhhuhuh"

don't see how this year is really any different

I'd say its similar to the 2007 draft. Only a few guys are in the for sure impact-player range with pretty much everyone past the top 4 or so prospects similar until the top of the second. You can't deny trading is done a lot on draft day so maybe we get involved this year. Its not out of the equation.

This is literally my ideal draft, except Branch. I love the DE position there, but would rather have Vinny Curry. My draft would look identical. I'd also draft a punter in the 7th round.

I was actually thinking about that...after smoking a bowl, I've changed it to Curry. We're on a very similar page haha :coolgleamA:

Didn't realize he has good experience at DE in a 4-3

You saved me time from having to make a mock. Haha. I think we have been on the same page for a few months now as far as mock drafts.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By Basbear · Posted

      They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....

      He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.

      I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
