his latest mock (Mar 17) has us taking 6-2/212 WR Breshad Perriman of AAC Co-Champs UCF (who didn't work out at Combine due to hamstring, but his Pro Day is tomorrow), writing:

"Carolina went with a wide receiver in the first round a year ago, and I expect a repeat. Though offensive line remains a glaring issue, Perriman is the type of selection who can further elevate quarterback Cam Newton's game. A 6-2, 215-pound specimen, he's a wild-card prospect who has some scouts' mouths watering and others calling him a project. He didn't compete at the Combine, even further making his first-round grade a difficult one to cement. Perriman isn't a household name, but I like the fit for Carolina."

his 1st R WRs:

#4 Kevin White - "has all the tools"

#10 Amari Cooper - "a rare talent"

#11 DeVante Parker - "can end up jumping even Amari Cooper"

#12 Jaelen Strong - "has a lot of upside"

#25 Breshad Perriman

#31 Dorial Green-Beckham - "no questions as to whether he can play the game"

#32 Nelson Agholor - "best player available...Agholor at 32nd overall would be quite a haul"

UPDATE: and now, in his April 13 Mock, he has us taking an OT

If the top 4 WRs go in the first 12 picks, I'd prefer to look elsewhere at #25.

 

IMO, those top 4 WRs are about as close to sure things as you're going to find in the draft, but after that there's a pretty steep drop off but a lot of depth.  I'm not convinced there's a big difference between the #5 WR and the #10 WR.

This is why I won't be shocked if we go defense in round one. The top 4 WRs are likely gone, and there will be a run of OL before our pick because everyone always needs OL. Gettleman won't reach for offense just because we struggled there.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
