Connor Jordan’s Seven-Round Panther’s Mock Draft 1.0.

/

The first thing I noticed when I came onto the C3 website is that there are no recent mock drafts. I wanted to change that, so here we go.

#1 Bryce Young, QB, Alabama. 

Young is #1 on my board. Yes, the size is concerning, but the creativity is just too good to pass up. He is a very smart football player with an extremely fast processer. Unfortunately, his supporting cast on offense is semi-lackluster, but he still makes things work. 

#39 Drew Sanders, LB, Arkansas.

Sanders has everything you want in a linebacker. He has a big frame, and he is versatile. To me, he is a mid-first-round talent, so to get him at #39 is a steal. 

TRADE: Raiders acquire picks #94, #132, #145, #248, 2024 fifth-round pick. Panthers acquire picks #100, #109

#100 Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss. 

The trade seems like a lot to give up but trust me when you see this draft pan out. I chose Mingo because of his wonderful upside. He is big like AJ Brown and has skyrocketed up draft boards. 

#109 Zach Harrison, EDGE, Ohio State.

Seeing Harrison falling this far is a dream scenario. He is absolutely a round-two talent and will fill a big question mark at the edge rusher position. 

TRADE: Seahawks acquire pick #114. Panthers acquire picks #123, #237

#123 Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse. 

There is no doubt that Williams would be a top-two-round pick if healthy. Seemingly another steal here in this mock.

TRADE: Bills acquire Yetur Gross-Matos. Panthers acquire picks #137, 2024 Buffalo fourth-round pick.

#137 Tank Dell, WR, Houston.

Dell is another high-upside guy. There is one concern that I have with him is his height.

#237 Josh Whyle, TE, Cincinnati.

Tommy Tremble hasn’t proven to me that he can be a true TE one. Here, I’m entering some competition with Whyle.

This wraps up my mock draft. I’m grateful to have shared my views on the draft. Tell us who you want the Panthers to target. Do you love any of these picks? I will have many more posts to come, but I’m out. As always, Panthers nation... KEEP POUNDING!
