Ctp's 32 Days Before Draft Mock Draft

This is probably my last mock draft for this draft. I will include two different scenarios where we stay at nine then a trade down. This is what I think will happen, not what i think SHOULD happen or what I want to happen.

First scenario: Staying with the ninth pick.

With the ninth pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select...

Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis

6'4 - 346 - 4.87

Dontari Poe will be considered a reach this high by most. His upside however is immense and with coaching from defensive minded head coach Ron Rivera, Poe could very well become Carolina's own version of Haloti Ngata. No man that is 6'4, 346 lbs should be able to move like Poe. If I were making this pick, I would take one of three players. Quinton Coples, Fletcher Cox or Nick Perry assuming that Morris Claiborne and Justin Blackmon are gone. Dontari Poe's size would create massive gaps for our linebackers to shoot through to stop the run. Poe also offers an unexpectedly good pass rush which is better than most of the other Defensive tackles in this draft.

2nd Round

Brandon Boykin, CB, Georgia

5'9 - 182 lbs - 4.44

If Brandon Boykin were 6'0, he would be a top 15 pick. Boykin plays the game with more passion than any other corner in this draft. He has outstanding return ability to go along with great ball skills. The only downside to selecting Brandon Boykin, if there is one, is that he primarily played in a two deep zonetype defense at Georgia. I see Boykin becoming a Brandon Flowers caliber cornerback in the NFL.

4th Round

Keshawn Martin, WR, Michigan State

6'0 - 188 lbs - 4.45

I love Keshawn Martin as a mid round sleeper. He has good hands and very good speed to create seperation from corners. He doesn't always fight for the ball like you would like to see in a receiver, but with a little position coaching help from Steve Smith I don't see that being too much of a problem. Martin has reportedly drawn interest from teams in the second round. I beleive they see what I see, which is quite possibly the next Mike Wallace.

5th Round

Ryan Miller, G/T, Colorado

6'7 - 321 lbs - 5.27

Ryan Miller was once considered a second round pick. After having a poor senior bowl and average combine, Miller's stock took a huge hit. At the Senior Bowl, Miller displayed poor footwork which may cause him to make the move to guard in the NFL. The upside is still there at Tackle however and if Jeff Otah stinks it up again, Miller would battle with Byron Bell for the starting job at right tackle.

6th Round

Bryan Anger, P, California

6'3 - 208 - 4.75

94268222_display_image.jpg?1332386306

Anger is the best punter in the draft and could be selected as high as the fifth round. Jason Baker was released which was expected. That leaves a hole at punter and Bryan Anger will be one of the best at his position in the NFL.

7th Round

Adrien Robinson, TE, Cincinnati

6'4 - 264 - 4.55

5848816.jpg

Adrien Robinson was not invited to the combine but blew up his pro day running a 4.55 forty yard dash. Robinson is similar in size to Antonio Gates who Rob Chudzinski coached in San Diego and has similar athleticism. Robinson should be drafted late by a team looking for some sort of project.

second scenario: trade down

just quickly throwing it out there. we trade down to a team looking to move up for Richardson, Tannehill, or whoever and acquire a 2nd round pick.

1-Michael Brockers, DT, LSU

2a-Boykin

2b-Harrison Smith, S, Notre Dame

4-Martin

5-Miller

6-Anger

7-Robinson

I like it well enough, just wish we'd address OLB before a mid round WR. If Boykin has talent, his stature won't be that big of an issue. I don't know much about him, but I'd have a hard time picking him over Minnifield or Gilmore if they're available (I know most recent belief is Gilmore will be a late 1st or before we pick in the 2nd).

People said the same thing about capt. we all know how that ended. Really don't like this mock. Not 1 LB really???

I wouldn't be upset with this draft. There's no way we can address every single need missing a 3 rounder, so I can't complain about not drafting a linebacker.

But getting a WR in the 4th another olinemen after our FA signings and another short Cb is ok. No I don't think so.

Once you get to the 4th round you go BPA anyways. Outside of QB and running back, there's not a position on the team that couldn't stand to use an upgrade on the depth chart.

Their are 10-12 LB rated to go in the 4th and 5th round. I see that as a bigger need then WR.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Have to stop making everything about BY. They will and have been bringing in players to improve the TEAM, not just Bryce Young. Which is something they should have done BEFORE bringing in a rookie QB. Even Metchie is a generally good pickup at a position of need. He just happens to have played with BY in college. And that doesn't hurt his chances or the team's. Morgan just addressed the biggest areas of need on the team via free agency so they won't be reaching for a position of need in the draft. He's legit picking the best player available for the TEAM in the draft. The o-line was in shambles in 2023. He addressed it in 2024. The d-line was in shambles in 2024. He addressed it in 2025. The pass rush and linebackers were in shambles in 2025. He's addressed it in 2026. Unfortunately good young WRs don't hit the FA market, so can't just throw money at them. You have to draft them. I wonder what some would be saying if they'd spent the amount of cap on the offense that they spent on the defense in 2025 and 2026 - and then used both first round draft picks on defense. Would that have been better in your eyes? No. You would be complaining that the defense is too young to compete and more vets weren't brought in because they're trying to prop up BY. This team should be talented enough now to make some noise in the South. If BY is actually holding them back, then QB will be addressed in 2027. They benched him 2 games into their tenure and you think they're tied to his success. No. That doesn't compute. They're tied to the team's success. BY could throw for 5000 yards and if they're 4 - 13, head's will roll.  TLDR: Their decisions aren't driven by making BY look good. They're trying to improve the team and win games. Period.

      I still firmly believe that Tepper still has his mandate of make Bryce work or get fired and because of that, it doesn't matter how badly he does... He'll get a long term deal in the 40-50m range and set back this franchise for a decade. Then the Teppers will have another QB infatuation and maybe they get it right then.
