The Mock Draft

Here is what i think should happen with our draft picks later this week. First though, I think we will trade our first and fifth round picks to the Jets in return for their first and second round picks. The Jets may be interested in Melvin Ingram and Hurney mentioned trading back as a possibility. I think that's exactly what we'll do.

RD1(16) -- CB Stephon Gilmore. Here is a guy who could come in and bring an immediate impact. That is the kind of players that Rivera said he is looking for with our first few picks. If Gilmore isn't available here, look for us to take someone like Kirkpatrick.

RD2(40) -- DT Brandon Thompson. This is another guy who can come in and start right away. He would be a great run suffer and would fill a huge position of need. If Worthy or Still are still available, they would be other options here.

RD2(47) -- OLB Bobby Wagner. Wagner could split playing time with Thomas Davis until Davis' knee goes out again. Then he could be our starter.

RD4(104) -- WR/PR Joe Adams. I would really like to see us take Adams here. If he isnt available, we could take someone like T.Y. Hilton. Either would allow us to send Armanti packing. Armanti did not show any hope at PR and Joe Adams could turn that around right away.

RD6(180) -- OL Ronald Leary. He would add good depth to our OL which was a very injury-prone position last year.

RD6 -- P Drew Butler. This is definitely a position we should fill in the draft and Butler could be our punter for the next 15 years. Rivera also played with his dad.

RD7 -- TE George Bryan. Here is a guy I watched play all year and I think he has loads of potential. Other than the fact he runs slower than your grandma's scooter, he has very reliable hands and would be a great blocking TE.

We would need to add depth at OL in UDFA and maybe even LB because as we learned, you can never have too many of them. I look for this draft to be very important to the future of our team. Rivera said he wanted immediate impact players in the first few rounds, so that's what I tried to find. Please give me your opinion.

Don't think we need to draft 2 WRs... we rarely went with more than 3WRs... Smitty/LaFell/Gettis... then Pilares/Manos/Adams

Well I look for Pilares and Adams to be more return guys. Also, I don't expect Chris Manno to get anywhere near the WR position. He is more a ST guy. I see it more as Smitty/Lafell/Adams and Gettis/Fuller/Pilares.

It's not bad, but I am not sold on Gilmore as a 1st round guy. Love the Wagner and Joe Adams picks. No to George Bryan too. Blocking tight ends are a dime a dozen. Rather spend the pick on a sliding prospect or a developmental pass rusher or lineman.

Bryan could definitely be a recieving TE, just not with the break away speed. Like a Kevin Boss type player. IN 4 years at NCST, he had 126 Rec,1323 yards, and 17 TDs

Why?

I like wagner, but would perfer perry and jenkins if they are available. As far as the wrs if we cant get floyd, blackmon or wright no one else upgrades our wr corp. Then id like to upgrade oline depth in the 4th punter in 6th then w/e on the rest.

So your philosophy is if you can't get a WR in the first round, don't draft one?

Haha you guys are harsh. The "punter idea" is actually very likely. Gilmore will go in the top 20, like it or not and from what I've heard, the panthers like him. Yeah, I would whether have Still or Worthy in the 2nd as well, but they won't be available. TE is a position of need unless we resign Shock.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
