Kiper Final Mock(More and More people feeling that Star will fall to us)

Star Lotulelei

Carolina Panthers (7-9)

COLLEGE: Utah

AGE: 23

HT: 6-2

WT: 311

POS: DT

Analysis: The Panthers were simply bad as a run defense in 2012, and that's even after they drafted Luke Kuechly to hold down the middle. Well, your run defense isn't going to get better just because you get consistent tackling at linebacker. Lotulelei can occupy blocks given his initial burst and his ability to read, identify and make tackles against the run himself. The Panthers need to come out of this draft with some help for the interior of their D-line.

It should be noted that he has Sheldon Richardson going #10 to the Titans.

Ok somethng is up. First Joe Person says "Panthers like Star at 14 a lot." Then the story I posted a little bit ago that said "Panthers will not take a DT unless its Star." Now suddenly nearly every single draft expert has us taking Star. I just dont see how all these experts can suddenly switch on the fly from sheldon richardson to now "oh nevermind, Star to the Panthers." I think A. The draft experts heard from team sources that they wont draft Star in the top 13 and B. Panthers sources saying they love Star

Yea there is definately a leak. Someone somewhere heard from numerous teams in the top 13 that Star is off their draft board and that the Panthers will pounce on him. This is very very similar to the mocks all changing in 2011 to us drafting Cam when it became clear he was our guy. It was a big sea change in the mocks like we are seeing with Star right now

    • It shows how short the actual span of a NFL career actually is.  We get caught up with the few guys that play until 40-years old, but that's an extraordinary tiny fraction of the League.  What you may or may not have intentionally done there is show how we quickly move off guys like that but are stubbornly hanging onto Bryce.  His new running mate, Kenny Pickett, drafted just one year earlier is already on his 4th or 5th team.  Kenny isn't horrible, but he's not good enough to be a franchise QB.  Some franchises get it, chalk it up as a miss and move on.  Others double down on trying to make things work until the relationship completely deteriorates. *cough* Dolphins and Cardinals *cough*
    • Winner of 7 vs 8 seed game gets 7th seed. Loser of that game plays against winner of 9 vs 10 seed game. Winner of that game (loser of 7 vs 8 against winner of 9 vs 10) gets 8th seed. So in reality if you make it to the 7 vs 8 game, it’s win and in for your team. Lose that game and you get another shot at getting in. If you have to play the 9 vs 10 game, lose once you are gone. Win the first game as a 9 vs 10 competitor and you still have to win again to get in.
    • DJ Chark, Hayden Hurst, and Bradley Bozeman all started for the Carolina Panthers during Bryce Young’s rookie season. All 3 have announced retirement after two years.  Scott Fitterer was that bad.   And his #1 receiver Thielen also just retired
