Nfl.com Analysts Mock Drafts...


TylerDurden

Recommended Posts

Since April 2nd, four analysts have done updated mock drafts and two of them having us take Dontari Poe, one has us taking Fletcher Cox, and one has us taking Coples. From everything I've been coming across, Poe is thought to be sliding but still, thought it was interesting.

The most recent mock is from Albert Breer and he has us taking Coples. I just think if Claiborne is off the board (and I do think he'll be off the board and will be going to Tampa) we will either take Kuechly or trade down. Just my opinion though...

My bad for posting it in the Panthers forum, wasn't sure where the mocks went...

And @Kurb, I think Kuechly is gonna be a big time player and would be excited about the pick, but it's a tough position to be in. If Beason can ever come back 100% and TD can stay healthy, LB isn't a need. But, those are big ifs.

I know we're all being armchair experts here, but in my non-front office executive opinion, I just don't see how the pick could be anything but a DT or CB at 9. If there isn't a player at either of those positions available worthy of picking at 9, I think we should trade back.

UNLESS, of course, Hurney feels whatever player he really likes at 9 is a momentum changer i.e., Coples being Peppers-like.

Cox, Poe, and Brokers may be awesome in 3 years but none of them give us a competitive advantage over what we have on the team. Kuelchy could play out of position but not sure that fixes anything. BPA is a good rule of thumb but I think some pragmatism should be exercised. This team needs a corner or a passrusher (DE or OLB). Take whichever one is graded higher and call it a day.

Cox and Brockers day 1 help your run defense and inside pass rush more then Fua, and Mcclain.

    • From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.
    • That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.
    • They have been giving him a lot of snaps at RT to give TMo some relief in camp. I think that will continue for the time being.
