FUN STUFF: WHO WOULD BE YOUR SURPRISE PICK BY THE PANTHERS??

The late round QB would not surprise me.  Need some competition in that room to plan for the post Dalton era. Leonard could also be the QB sneak guy.

I do see them drafting a RB...but 3rd a little high, IMO. The only way I see them drafting offense that high is if a TE or WR falls that they just cannot pass up.

Yep, you’re probably right about the RB. I think it depends on who they like. IF they want Skattebo, I believe he comes off the board in the 3rd (MAAYBEE the 4th..??). Just like I believe that Emmanwori comes off late in the 1st or early to mid 2nd. Golden would be my WR choice but he will probably come off in the 1st or early 2nd. I firmly believe we stand pat on TEs, unless we take one LATE. 

Part of my process on WR, TE, and RB is based on what we did last year. I just can’t see us taking a WR or TE early in the draft two years in a row. RB is different because Brooks is  VERY injured … and I don’t think his prognosis or “upside” is even worth talking about.

My early round picks would probably be Edge, D-line, Safety, RB, maybe CB or OT. From 5th onward anything is possible including “depth” pieces at all positions. 

For me … the REAL surprises would be WR, TE, QB  before 4th round. 

But truthfully, I really have no idea. I’m sure Dan has it figured out.!!!!
