Panthers director of college scouting Don Gregory believes "capable" starting receivers can be as found as late as the fourth round

He is right but I still see BPA at our spot being WR or TE. I would love to get a top flight OT at our pick but I just don't see that slide happening.

absolutely ben saying this for while now. This is why I think we can look to other positions early like CB as depth there is no where near what it is @ wr and if we get a CB it needs to be of starting quality as we are already stocked with backup CB's. 

 OT is a little deeper but still not as deep as wr. i see no reason why we can't go other positions early and get 2 good wr's in this draft.

When was steve largent drafted in your universe?

That was 1 player on a list of many...nice try though.

Point is that the assertion that great WR's are only found in the first couple of rounds is laughable.

Allen was taken in the third last year, the round you are drafted in doesn't mean much. Ask Tom Brady. If a 4th rookie is starting at wr it's probably bc he worked extra hard and showed the coaches he deserves to start. I don't really care what round our number 1 wr is drafted in as long as we get one.

apparently only idiots think you can get starting caliber production out of wide receivers selected outside of the first round, especially in an exceptionally deep draft

 

yet

 

all the armchair GMs on this board lost their minds when kawann short was selected in the second instead of keenan allen because he would have been a day one game changer for us

 

wrap your head around that one

Keenan Allen was only drafted in the 3rd round because of an injury that healed slow.

This particular point, the one about KA, needs to be vetted just a bit.

 

Yes, he dropped, but I don't think that he would have been nearly as successful on most of the teams in the league.

 

Rivers, much like Brady, has a tendency to make his WR's look really good.  It may be the system (although that changed from Norv's), I'm not really sure what it it, but that team, and QB make WR's look better than they really are.

 

Outside of Vincent Jackson, (later round guy, and really rough coming out) Rivers has thrown to a bunch of scrubs.  Nannee, Seyi, Floyd, Alexander, etc...

 

I don't think that Allen would have excelled as much in another system.

Still good receives on the board. Would rather us focus in on the secondary or tackle positions if we can. Pretty sure we will be getting a linebacker at some point today as well

as the Day 3 draft begins they asked the ESPN panel to name one guy to watch. Kiper went with Kevin Norwood, thinks he is steal in 4th
