Schuyler Callihan’s Carolina Panthers Seven-Round Mock Draft 4.0

Each Sunday, I will seemingly be releasing a new Carolina Panthers seven-round mock draft. From now up till the first Sunday of April, I will no longer be projecting any trades.

RD 1, Take 8: QB Trey Lance (North Dakota Remark)

Despite the fact that I’ll possibly possibly perchance also see Justin Fields sliding the full manner down to No. 8, I’m beginning to bask in it be extra seemingly that he goes in the tip three or four picks. Trey Lance will seemingly be essentially the most productive quarterback possibility on hand for the Panthers in the event that they seize to dwell put at No. 8. He is no longer going to make a straight away affect and might possibly possibly perchance merely seemingly must sit and learn for some time as he adjusts to the NFL sport. No longer to claim, he ideally suited played one sport this previous tumble as a consequence of the pandemic, so it be going to take him some time to find to the put he desires to be. 

RD 2, Take 39: OT Alex Leatherwood (Alabama)

Leatherwood is an awfully athletic sort out that can find to the second stage of the protection reasonably snappy. He does a gargantuan job of identifying who is coming on the blitz and who is dropping into coverage. Getting any find of a recede walk on him looked inconceivable for hundreds of teams. Leatherwood has gargantuan balance, footwork, and stands defenders straight as much as the put they beget a severe lack of recede. If there is anybody flaw in his sport, I would inform it be consistency. His manufacturing isn’t always in point of fact hit or miss from play to play but there might possibly be hundreds of plays the put I bask in he might possibly possibly perchance also cease extra. Perhaps he became as soon as losing interest of dominating the fellow lined up at some stage in from him? 

RD 3, Take 73: WR Rondale Moore (Purdue)

The Panthers might possibly possibly perchance also must acquire a substitute for Curtis Samuel this offseason and Rondale Moore incessantly is the answer. This guy is electric with the football in his fingers and can take it the distance any time he will get a contact. He is got a ton of velocity and has furthermore taken some reps at running support – something Samuel did this previous season. He might possibly possibly perchance also merely no longer be essentially the most moving guy on this planet (5’9″, 180 lbs) but that will possibly perchance also merely no longer topic. Moore can step gorgeous in and make an affect straight.

RD 4, Take 113: CB Rodarius Williams (Oklahoma Remark)

Rodarius is the brother of feeble LSU corner and now Cleveland Brown, Greedy Williams. Rodarius became as soon as a four-year starter at Oklahoma Remark and a lawful one at that. Big 12 offenses typically unnoticed to throw his manner which is why he ideally suited has two profession interceptions at the collegiate stage. He is a gargantuan duvet corner, but tranquil has some room to present. The Panthers went corner in the 4th round closing year, and I bask in they cease it all over again this year.

RD 5, Take 152: S Caden Sterns (Texas)

Despite the fact that it can possibly perchance also merely no longer be a lawful Matt Rhule connection, Caden Sterns did face Rhule twice at some stage in his time at Baylor. Sterns emerged into one among the tip safeties in the Big 12 for the length of the course of his profession, but there are tranquil several areas of his sport that he can produce. I’m no longer decided he might possibly possibly perchance be rather prepared to step in and make an affect gorgeous away but down the motorway, Sterns might possibly possibly perchance also merely tranquil bellow some model to an NFL protection.

RD 5, Take 185: OL Drake Jackson (Kentucky)

Matt Paradis has no longer lived as much as expectations in his two years at Carolina. By drafting Jackson in the fifth, it is most likely you’ll possibly perchance also give him some time to sit down at the support of Paradis till he is able to take the job over. Jackson started 44 consecutive video games at center and became as soon as named First Group All-SEC.

RD 6 Take 195: TE Noah Grey (Duke)

Taking Grey at this space will seemingly be reasonably a attain, however the Panthers wish as a device to add some opponents to the tight end room. Ideally, Carolina might possibly possibly perchance also commerce support and doubtlessly produce any other stupid-round capture in 2021 or the lengthy flee. With all that acknowledged, Grey will seemingly be essentially the most productive on hand possibility at this point. He under no circumstances developed exact into a smartly-known person at Duke, but he does beget the tools to change into an awfully sturdy NFL tight end.
