2021 NFL draft: Panthers trade picks with Bears, moving down from No. 39 spot

The details of the trade followed shortly after.

Those eagerly awaiting the Carolina Panthers’ second-round pick will have to wait a little while longer. The team has traded down from the No. 39 overall spot with the Chicago Bears.

Ian Rapoport at NFL Network had the scoop first:

The details of the trade followed shortly after.

According to Adam Schefter at ESPN, in addition to No. 39, Carolina is also sending the No. 151 overall pick to Chicago in exchange for their No. 52, No. 83 and No. 204 picks.

Trading down was always going to be part of this process. The Panthers still need help at a lot of positions and there are plenty of offensive line prospects who should still be around when they’re on the clock again.

10 facts about Panthers No. 8 overall draft pick CB Jaycee Horn

The Carolina Panthers selected South Carolina’s Jaycee Horn with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. Here are 10 facts surrounding the pick.

The Carolina Panthers have quarterback taken care of with Sam Darnold, which is whey they went with former South Carolina cornerback Jaycee Horn with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft.

Here are 10 facts surrounding the Panthers’ selection of Horn.

Panthers defense continues to grow, draft position be damned

There are two sides to every story.

There are two sides to every story.

Your side, most likely that of a Carolina Panthers fan being that you’re currently reading this, probably wouldn’t have minded a loss to Washington here in Week 16. That’s understandable.

The team was 4-10, the prospect of a playoff berth has been non-existent for some time and two more losses would—as a result of the early afternoon games—clinch them the third overall spot in the draft. And you want a realistic shot at one of those four potential franchise quarterbacks.

But, while you’re in it for the greater good, the players and coaches on the field are in it for their livelihood. Even though having a Justin Fields, a Trey Lance or a Zach Wilson in range would potentially be an important step forward for the franchise, none of those 20-year-old college kids are helping put food on their tables—at least not today.

So, no, the Panthers who played against Ron Rivera’s new team on Sunday don’t care about who you want their front office to pick in April. They care about performing well, which they largely did in their 20-13 victory.

The win, just the second in their last 10 outings, came on the strength of a collectively encouraging defensive stand. It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t always clean and it wasn’t particularly dominant. It was just right.

Carolina took care of the business that was in front of them—and that was a susceptible quarterback in Dwayne Haskins. Haskins, whose underwhelming play in his young NFL career has likely used up all his rope in Washington, completed just 14 of 28 attempts for 154 yards and two interceptions.

Defensive coordinator Phil Snow and his unit never allowed the 2019 first-rounder to find any sort of comfort throughout the afternoon, consistently applying pressure and knocking him off his spot. Haskins, who ate a pair of sacks as well, would later be replaced by another familiar face in Taylor Heinicke, who fared better (12-of-19, 137 yards, one touchdown) primarily because of garbage-time prevent defense.

The Panthers made an offense with a bad quarterback and no No. 1 wide receiver (sans an injured Terry McLaurin) look like an offense with a bad quarterback and No. 1 wide receiver. The final numbers may not be pretty, as Washington finished the day with 386 total yards, but Carolina’s continuous stops kept a stranglehold towards a result that played much more dominantly than the final seven-point differential.

And that – not worrying about what pick the team has – is the more tangible fruit of their labor. A painfully young defense, who came into 2020 with limited experience, preparation and a league-high turnover rate in personnel is learning to grow together.

Over their last five games, the Panthers have allowed just 322.8 yards to opposing offenses. That’s one heck of a leap from the 380 yards per game they gave up in their first 10 contests. (That 322.8 average would rank sixth in the NFL for the entire season.)

They’ve also tightened up on third down, the bugaboo that cursed the group at an historic pace for much of the campaign. After allowing teams to convert on 68 of their 123 third-down tries (55.3 percent) in those first 10, they’ve shrunk that fat number down to 24-of-62 (38.7) over the last five.

Additionally, Carolina has sprinkled in 16 sacks and nine takeaways in that span, improving on another pair of categories that appeared rather scarce for a chunk of 2020. That has now helped them to three watermark performances of sorts—their shutout of Detroit in Week 11, their second-half stand in Green Bay to keep themselves alive against the league’s top offense last Saturday and their handling of Washington today.

For now, let’s not focus on what the professionals within the organization cannot and should not want to control. Let that sink starting next week and then over the next five months.

Let’s bank on what the Panthers have right now—a budding, relentless, focused defense with three promising cornerstones in Brian Burns, Jeremy Chinn and Derrick Brown. Winners focus on winning. Right, coach?

Multiple former Georgia players go to Falcons rivals in latest NFL mock draft

Three former Georgia football players, including Jake Fromm and Jacob Eason, go to Atlanta Falcons’ rivals.

The NFL Draft is coming up in just a few months and multiple former Bulldogs are expecting to hear their names called in Las Vegas.

In the latest four-round 2020 NFL mock draft done by USA TODAY’s DraftWire, multiple former Georgia players go in round one and three guys head to the NFC South.

However, none are projected to go the Falcons, a franchise that has routinely passed up on drafting players from the in-state university over the years.

Round 1:

The first two picks of the draft see Joe Burrow headed to Cincinnati and Chase Young to Washington.

Andrew Thomas goes early…

Pick No. 4: Andrew Thomas to the Giants

At No. 4 the first Dawg, offensive tackle Andrew Thomas, gets taken by the New York Giants.

On Thomas, DraftWire wrote:

If the Giants want Daniel Jones to become a true franchise quarterback, they’re going to have to protect him. General manager Dave Gettleman is as old-school as they come, so don’t be surprised when he spends this pick in the trenches. Moving back would be ideal given this year’s depth at both tackle and along the interior, but if they’re stuck here, Thomas is a strong pick.

At No. 5, the Miami Dolphins take Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Kindley to Tennessee…

Pick No. 29: Solomon Kindley to the Titans

In the first round, at pick No. 29, Georgia has its second player selected in the draft. Offensive guard Solomon Kindley, one of the most consistent blockers at Georgia over the past couple of seasons, is projected to the Tennessee Titans, where he would team up with former UGA center Ben Jones.

On Kindley, Draft Wire wrote:

If Derrick Henry leaves in free agency, running back obviously becomes a strong possibility here. But if he returns, the Titans should focus on fortifying an already strong offensive line with young reinforcements. Kindley is the best of a deep class of interior blockers, and his experience against top competition in the SEC have him ready to make an impact from Day 1.

Former Bulldog goes to the NFC South in the second round…

2020 NFL draft: Panthers currently on pace to pick at No. 12

2020 NFL draft: Panthers currently on pace to pick at No. 12

The Carolina Panthers have lost five straight and six of their last seven games. The streak has dropped them to third place in the NFC South and raised serious questions about the team’s future.

On the bright side, all that losing has helped their draft position immensely. Heading into Week 15, Carolina is currently on pace to pick at No. 12 overall.

Here’s a look at the updated 2020 NFL draft order.

1. Cincinnati Bengals (1-12)
2. New York Giants (2-11)
3. Washington Redskins (3-10)
4. Miami Dolphins (3-10)
5. Detroit Lions (3-9-1)
6. Arizona Cardinals (3-9-1)
7. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-9)
8. Atlanta Falcons (4-9)
9. New York Jets (5-8)
10. Los Angeles Chargers (5-8)
11. Denver Broncos (5-8)
12. Carolina Panthers (5-8)
13. Philadelphia Eagles (6-7)
14. Oakland Raiders (6-7)
15. Indianapolis Colts (6-7)
16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7)
17. Cleveland Browns (6-7)
18. Oakland Raiders (7-6) (via Bears)
19. Tennessee Titans (8-5)
20. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-9) (via Rams)


21. Dallas Cowboys (6-7)
22. Miami Dolphins (8-5) (via Steelers)
23. Miami Dolphins (8-5) (via Texans)
24. Minnesota Vikings (9-4)
25. Buffalo Bills (9-4)
26. Kansas City Chiefs (9-4)
27. Green Bay Packers (10-3)
28. Seattle Seahawks (10-3)
29. New England Patriots (10-3)
30. New Orleans Saints (10-3)
31. Baltimore Ravens (11-2)
32. San Francisco 49ers (11-2)

Tanking might seem like a reasonable idea to the average fan. However, if anything the Dolphins’ season proves that NFL teams simply don’t do it. Then again, sometimes it comes naturally.

As presently constructed, these Panthers aren’t going to beat the Seahawks or the Saints. Defeating the Colts is a possibility but it’s difficult to feel confident about their chances against any team right now.
