Another Mock With Another Trade

[TylerVagyler]

The Philadelphia Eagles have been shopping Asante Samuel throughout the past season and offseason, which is why I see a draft day trade involving Samuel next week. It could be with a number of teams, but for this mock, that team is the Carolina Panthers. The trade breaks down like this:

Panthers get: Round 1 (#15), Asante Samuel

Eagles get: Round 1 (#9)

Now before everyone craps their pants about Samuel's contract; the Panthers were able to talk Samuel down to $6mil/year (3.5 down from his current contract). In this trade, we add a legit starting CB to pair with Chris Gamble. We also only drop 6 spots with CB no longer a draft need.

Now for the draft picks.

Round 1 (#15): Quinton Coples, DE/UNC

So we trade back and still grab one of our top prospects. I see Jacksonville going with Floyd and Miami going with Tannehill, leaving a big possibility that Coples falls down to #15. We need serious help with the pass rush and Coples is my highest rated pass rusher. At this spot, it's a no brainer.

Round 2 (#40): Jerel Worthy, DT/Michigan State

We sure up our DL with Worthy at #40. Like Coples, I would expect Worthy to be a day 1 starter. Worthy is a dominant presence who is known to draw a double team (which would happen with Johnson and Coples lining up with him). The potential is through the roof with this guy and if he's there at #40, Hurney and Rivera should be drooling at the opportunity of adding a 2nd starter to the DL.

Round 4 (#104): Marvin McNutt, WR/Iowa

McNutt is a guy that has been overlooked in this draft. He is a big, physical receiver with great speed for his size. He has shown great ability to break tackles and make YAC. Also shows great body control when going up for a 50/50 ball. Experienced and willing run blocker, which is huge for WRs in our offense.

Round 5 (#145): Josh Kaddu, OLB/Oregon

Kaddu is another underrated prospect who should be available in round 5. He didn't put up huge numbers this past season, but he was impressive in the Shrine Bowl. He has shown the ability to create plays in the backfield, something the Panthers currently lack.

Round 6 (#180): Blake DeChristopher, OT/Virginia Tech

Big. Ugly.

Round 6 (#207): Darius Fleming, OLB/Notre Dame

Showed good speed at the combine. Would like to see Rivera get a hold of this guy and get him to perform to his potential, something he didn't do while at Notre Dame.

Round 7 (#216): Drew Butler, P/Georgia

Superbowl.

I'm with you on the first 2 picks.

[Dash Global]

Coples wont be there at 15.

Worthy wont be there in the 2nd.

[EMSMedic79]

Coples wont be there at 15.

Worthy wont be there in the 2nd.

Agreed on both.

[Munch4455]

Quite a few mock drafts have Coples going anywhere from 15-25. Scouts apparently are cooling on him bc of his motor. And Jerel Worthy in most mock is going in the first few picks of the second round, who's to say he couldn't fall a couple of places and be there at the 40th pick.

As for the trade, They would need to toss a little something more in with Asante to trade up. Reports are they are asking a 3rd or 4th for asante. And with the trade proposed they would be getting a 2nd round value out of him. If it was Eagles 1st, 3rd and Asante would put a 4th round value on him. 1st, 4th and Asante would put a 3rd round value, either I would be ok with.

[TylerVagyler]

There is actually a real possibility both guys will be there at those spots.

[Jack Power]

This would solve our whole draft 1st and 4th we could still get brockers in 1st, Chandler jones, NIck Perry, Mecilus, Curry in second, plus two 4th round picks for LB depht i would personally pick up Nigel Bradham and Kennan RObinson if they are avilable. 5th round OL. Danny Coale in 6th, Speicial Teams or whatever in 6th and seventh. Perfect draft! oooo please let this happen!

I hate Marvin Mcnutt could you actually pick a wr who can get open in the Pro's or atleast challege Gettis and Lafell becuase Mcnutt is no better then Darvin Adams.

If people have to draft a wr can they get 1 that can be a KR/PR?
