Zod's Official Panthers Mock Draft Rounds 1-3

Here we are folks, two weeks out from the draft. I have crunched the numbers and applied out proprietary algorithm.

 

The following is a spoiler alert.

 

 

Round 1 - Morgan Moses - OT - Virginia

 

The departure of Desean Jackson in Philly solidifies their Brandin Cooks selection, who was previously my pick for the Panthers. Moses may be best at right tackle, which would make for much camp intrigue. Could the Panthers really be considering Byron Bell at left tackle? Could be. Bonus: The Moses selection would open up the floodgates for corny Old Testament puns from our tired local media.

 

Round 2 - Marcus Roberson - CB - Florida

 

This is a classic best player available pick. Yes, wide receiver is a huge need, but cornerback is not far behind. Roberson is a value at pick 60. He won the starting job at Florida as a true freshman. He could be a day 1 starter as well, which is all you can ask for from a second round pick.

 

Round 3 - Jared Abbrederis - WR - Wisconsin

 

Abbrederis is the best route runner in the draft. Under the tutelage of Ricky Proehl he will develop into a reliable clutch possession receiver. This kid is first and foremost a football player, and Gettleman is a guy that appreciates that. Abbrederis is as close to pro ready as any WR in this draft.

If we pick marcus roberson in the 2nd round i will lose all faith in our drafting ability. the guy was riddled with injuries and runs a 4.6 as a CB, which isnt exactly bad but its not speed you would like in a 2nd round CB. He would be far from the BPA at 60, i dont know where you get that information.

 

Abbrederis is rated as a 4th or 5th rounder too.. this is the most Hurney draft board ive seen since 2010

Not feeling this. 

 

Moses, yes ok.

 

Roberson, i question his effort. 

 

Abbrederis, maybe a number 2? we already have many 2 and 3's on the roster and you can get them every year in FA and the draft. 

 

This gets a D+ to C- at best. IF Roberson turns out to be a stud then a B. Abbrederis in the 3rd when we can get some good OL kills this draft imo.

There isn't a #1 that will produce this season anywhere near our selection.

 

The other guys we do have not are on short contracts.

 

We need to draft a solid 2.

I am not going to crucify a man for sticking his neck out there with his mock draft--even if he picks Moses.  I think the biggest challenge is not to criticize because his picks do not fit my vision, but to look at these moves from a different perspective.

 

Abbrederis is the kind of WR people fall in love with because he is ready to go day 1.  Route running is a valuable commodity in the NFL, a skill many do not develop and many fans do not notice--they just think the QB threw another bad ball. Proehl will value his hands, his ability to beat the jam, and his routes. WRs bust so often because we value the wrong things going in.

 

If you think he is a low fourth or fifth rounder, watch the Ohio State game vs. Roby. 

 

I will add that I think round 2 will be loaded with WRs, but if Rivera is true to his word about not needing a true #1, then Abbrederis might be a great pick in the third round.

It's even questionable he will be a solid #2. Porb more reasonable to think we will be a good (better than solid) slot guy / #3. 

 

Yes our Wr's are on short contracts but that is irrelevant. The point is we have them, can extend them, and easily replace them every year. #2's are fairly easy to come by. 

 

We dont really have the luxury to be drafting a WR in the 3rd who is a #3 or #2 at best, when we have major OL issues. 

 

Even if you were to take a WR in the 3rd, he needs to atleast have potential to be a #1. 

 

The 3rd will be prime spot to secure another decent - solid T ie Fleming, Turner, Hurst, Richardson, James, Mewhort, etc.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
