My final mock...

1st: Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State

With all the talk of the Vikings passing on Matt Kalil and the Rams possibly taking Cox, I have a feeling the top-8 may turn out a lot different than we have expected all along. That could mean someone like Justin Blackmon slipping to us and if so he's the no-brainer pick based on value alone. However, the safe bet still remains Cox being there and being the pick. There's also a very good chance we take Stephon Gilmore, but to be honest I'm not a huge fan of his so I'm sticking with 'the penetrator.'

2nd: Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama

I think there's at least a 60/40 chance Jenkins slips this far and if he does we HAVE to take him - unless of course we take Gilmore in the 1st. This is another reason why I'd rather not do that as I think there's a very solid chance we can get the best cover corner in the draft here.

4th: Joe Adams, WR, Arkansas

If for no other reason than his return ability Joe Adams would be a great pick. We've made upgrading the special teams a big priority this offseason and I expect we'll look to add an impact return guy and a top punter via the draft. Adams is that impact return guy and is a pretty good receiver with good upside as well.

5th: Bryan Anger, P, California

The recent article about Rivera playing with Drew Butler's dad would seem to indicate we're taking him if we take any punter, but honestly Anger is quite a bit better. His punts get much more hangtime and, again, we've gone out of our way to upgrade the special teams and Anger's booming punts can continue that. He's the best punter in the draft and guaranteed to be drafted; if you don't believe me, just ask him.

6th: Demario Davis, OLB, Arkansas State

We obviously need depth at linebacker and since I opted to upgrade the special teams with the previous two picks I'll go with the best available one here. I like Terrell Manning a lot, but he won't be there this late. Some would prefer taking him in the 4th or 5th and getting a punter here, but TBH I think Anger is an elite punter in the league inside of 2 years and would rather have him.

6th (Comp.): Jamie Blatnick, DE, Oklahoma State

A late round flyer on a pass rusher with some upside. Granted, this could be any number of other guys, I went with Blatnick.

7th: Blake DeChristopher, OT/OG, Virginia Tech

We almost always take at least one late round flyer on a good OL prospect. Who knows, maybe one day we'll hit a home run and get a solid starter with one of them.

I'll be surprised if they don't trade that pick. The Pats always trade down. But yeah, it's entirely possible he won't be there. Just saying if he is, we have to take him. I think a lot of teams will put a lot of emphasis on his off-field issues. The Pats are definitely one team that may think it can handle him, but I do think there's a good chance - maybe not a great one, but a good one - that he's available at our 2nd round pick.

      BREAKING: Panthers release official depth chart

      By Waldo · Posted

      2 years and I can't see any meaningful improvements. It's not Frittershitz bad but it's not close to good. I can only hope Scott and Evero don't even make it that long.

      By Icege · Posted

      Charlotte Observer article round-up Discovering the meaning behind Carolina Panthers players’ jersey numbers Trevon Moehrig used to wear #14 because that's what his mom wore during her days as an athlete before halving it to make #7 because he wanted to forge his own legacy and because #7 is "the number of completeness." Wore #17 at TCU before switching to #7 at the end of the season and was #25 for the Raiders since Zay Jones had #7 and 2 + 5 = 7. Hunter Renfrow was given #13 at Clemson due to being compared to former Tigers slot receivers Adam Humphries and Tyler Grisham after originally being #35. Lathan Ransom wore #8 at Ohio State and had originally worn #12 when he got there, but now wears #22 in an ode to his father. He always liked the nickname "Deuce Deuce" and his father wore #4, so 2 + 2 = 4. Trevin Wallace desperately wanted to wear #32 while Christian Rozeboom has worn #56 since entering the league, so they swapped. Wallace had worn #32 since before high school (his father had chosen #32 for him as a child after a night of prayer). Rozeboom grew partial to #56 after winning the Super Bowl with the Rams after being signed as a UDFA. Taylor Moton had worn #60 throughout his early football career but switched to #72 in college to honour his grandfather who wore the latter at Winston-Salem State. The #60 jersey was big enough to fit him back then, but when he got to college he was able to get #72 in his size and made the switch. Tetairoa McMillan wore #11 in eighth grade but it wasn't available in high school, so he went with #4 which he stuck with at Arizona all the way through to now with the Panthers. Rico Dowdle started as #23 at South Carolina but switched to #5 which he had throughout his first three years of high school in Asheville. After playing under #34 and #23 in Dallas, Dowdle made the switch back to #5 when arriving in Carolina. Ryan Fitzgerald switched to #10, his grandfather's number in high school after wearing #88 at Florida State  which was his father's number in high school. Nic Scourton wore #11 playing high school basketball and at Texas A&M, but had worn #5 at Purdue (which Dowdle wears now). Bam Martin-Scott was given #57 by the team in May, but his grandmother was born in 1957 so he took it as a sign from her. Derrick Brown wore #90 in high school and #5 in college. Since DL aren't allowed to wear single-diti numbers and Julius Peppers wore #90, DB said, "I wasn't getting to wear that, so I wear 95." Who will be the Carolina Panthers’ ‘X factor’ in Week 1? Plus a Jaguars preview W-L record? Kaye: 7-10 Thinks the loss of AT could cost CAR an early game that comes down to the wire. Overall team feels improved and worthy of contention beyond the first month. Finishing 9-8 wouldn't be a major shocker, but it also won't be easy. Zietlow: 8-9 Has touted 7-10 all offseason but Mike stole it from him. Is buying the unrelenting hope that Canales seems to carry. Team should be explosive enough on offense and competent enough on defense to be in every game it plays (sans Buffalo). Going 3-1 to start and finding a way to win five more is possible. Fowler: 6-11 Felt better about things before Carolina lost all three preseason games being outscored 69-23. Feels that the losses point out the Panthers' problematic lack of depth at a number of key positions and that the team is preparing for a long haul with 11 rookies on the roster rather than readying to win a lot this season. Offensive MVP? Kaye: Chuba The focal point of the offense and with Thielen gone he's the move proven offensive playmaker on the roster that Canales, Young, and the offense will need to continue leaning on. Zietlow: Bryce Projects 3,500 passing yards, 15 TDs, and less than 7 INTs with a returning OL and deep receiver corps. Fowler: TMac Believes that with his ability to go up and get it, TMac (not Tet!) will emerge as Bryce's #1 WR within the first month of the season with the AT trade clearing the way for more touches. Defensive MVP? Kaye: Jaycee Thinks Jaycee will show more versatility in 2025 and that if he can boost his INTs then his profile will elevate nationally (and the Panthers will get a few more wins). Zietlow: Trevin Thinks Wallace will lead the team in tackles as well as blitz more to help the pass rush. Fowler: DB Back from injury and likely to earn another Pro Bowl nod. Rookie of the Year? Kaye: TMac Expect plenty of targets for the rookie. Zietlow: Scourton Flashed already a few times in preseason at a premium position that can be a force against the run and pass. Can potentially get six sacks in his rookie season while also playing his way into being a starter by the back half of the season. Fowler: TMac Picked him for offensive MVP, so he's gotta pick him for rookie of the year as well. Runner-up? Lathan Ransom. Expects him to take over the other starting safety position by midseason. What will be the biggest surprise? Kaye: The running game will continue to drive the offense. Has the most faith in Hubbard/Dowdle/Etienne as weapons fo rthe offense. OL can run block well. TMac is a talented unknown and XL has a lot to prove still. TE Sanders had a great summer but it still adjusting to being a top weapon in an NFL offense. Also questions the sustainability of Young's performance down the stretch last season. Zietlow: The Panthers will be able to stop the run. After giving up 3,057 rushing yards last season (32nd in the league, third-most in NFL history), Alex is betting on the DL of Turk/ARob/DB + Moehrig to plug opposing run games. Goes on to say that the Panthers won't allow over 2,000yds rushing in 2025, which would put them around a top-12 to top-15 defense in that category. Fowler: The emergence of Brycen Tremayne Seemed to make a play at every practice. Not fast, but big (6-4, 212lbs) that will be inactive early in the season or at least only playing special teams. Could make some big-time plays though subbing in for an injured player and could even get some early with Coker out. Who wins the NFC South? Kaye: Bucs Thinks the gap is starting to close between TB and the rest of the division, plus the Bucs are on their fourth OC in as many years.  Zietlow: Bucs Saints are in rebuilding mode, Falcons have some upside but still have a young QB + HC in his season season, and the Panthers aren't quite ready et. Fowler: Falcons Was going to pick the Bucs, but wanted to have fun since the other two had picked them. Why it was the Carolina Panthers or ‘probably nowhere else’ for Hunter Renfrow Covers the story of Hunter Renfrow being cut and called back up. Also covered is Icky's emergency appendectomy, the captains vote, and some quick hits: DLew back Fitzgerald number change Monday's practice and the highlight throw from Bryce to XL TMac was named to the Arizona Wildcats' Ring of Honor during the opening weekend of college football.
