Round 1: Luke Joeckel OT Texas A&M 6-6 310 Lbs.

It's obvious we need O-line help. Jordan Gross is still very good, but he is losing a step and at some point needs to be replaced. By selecting Luke with this pick we will be just about set at OL.

Round 2: Matt Elam S Florida 5-10 206 Lbs.

We really need an aggressive safety out on the field. Nakamura ain't cutting it.

Round 4: Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri 6-3 290 Lbs.

We need a young DT to learn behind Dwan and Ron other than Sione and Nate.

Round 5: Terry Hawthorne CB Illinois 6-0 190 Lbs.

Gamble might or might not come back, Munnerlyn is a nickleback. So to draft Hawthorne is a great value.

Round 6: C.J. Fiedorowicz TE Iowa 6-6 265 Lbs.

Nice option to have opposite Olsen. He's only a Junior, but hopefully he comes out.

Round 7: Cobi Hamilton WR Arkansas 6-3 209 Lbs.

WR with nice size and great value in the 7th.

Love Joeckel and Elam. Really think WR is a much bigger need than a seventh round pick though....

WR is a position of need that needs to be addressed correct, but we also have other needs. At the spots we're drafting, the BPA's out way the needs. Hamilton is good though. Anyway it's early so mock drafts will continue to change based on performances.

Really? Whys that? I'm sure a couple guys will emerge in time for the combine. Tony Jefferson is another interesting prospect.

He's really stiff in the hips for starters. He has trouble with changing directions which isn't good when you're talking about coverage safeties. He's also been left looking lost in coverage on numerous occasions this season, and doesn't attack the ball as well as you like for a prototype FS. That's not to say he's not a good player. He's light years ahead of what we have at FS now, or what we would get from Godfrey. From what I've seen though, he would make a much better in the box strong safety. He's a great tackler, and loves initiating contact. He has the tools to be a better coverage guy, but he's been a liability in coverage more times this season then an asset.....

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
