Current Panthers Receiver Depth Chart

Here is a look at how the Carolina Panthers receiver depth chart is shaping up, as I see it. 

 

#1 Receiver

 

Kelvin Benjamin - Looking to build on a solid rookie campaign. 

 

#2 Receiver

 

Help Wanted - Apply Within

 

#3 Receiver / Deep Threat

 

Ted Ginn - Back in Carolina, looking to regain stride

Corey Brown - Showed great potential to build on. 

 

#4 Receiver / 3rd down possession guys

 

Jerricho Cotchery - Mixed results in 2015

Brenton Bersin - Dependable role player, had a few nice first down grabs.

Jarrett Boykin - Will push Bersin, possible special teams roster spot

 

 

Question Marks / Special Teams

 

Stephen Hill - Fan favorite with much to prove still 

De'Andre Presley - on the bubble

Mike Brown - Special teams signing

Marcus Lucas - Big body that showed flashes in 2014 training camp

 

 

The Carolina Panthers still appear to be primed to draft a wide receiver early in the 2015 NFL Draft. I still like Jaelen Strong in the first round at 25, who the Panthers are also interested in.

The glaring hole at #2 is the caveat to the whole offense. They have to hit on a WR that can produce and fill that void. With a solid pick, we win. D.G needs to do his magic in the draft and get this done.

If the #2 WR gets filled via draft or Jennings, then the depth chart you show here is a solid WR group for this coming year. Not a major strength but certainly not a weakness. However, if the depth chart must be shuffled to include no new WRs (no draft and no Jennings) then the depth chart takes on a dramatically different luck. Unless of course one of the "Question Marks / Special Teams" guys you point out does in fact surprise in camp.

 

To be sure, I like the group (even as is) and am excited to see them shake out their positioning in camp. I would really like the group if we have a solid #2. Add Jennings AND a #2 from the draft? It's a strength.

 

Time will tell but, as per usual, I'm optomistic.

A lot of feelings will be hurt when Brown go bye bye.

Having absolutely nothing to do with my feelings towards Philly or my fandom, I would bet $10,000 (pretty much everything I have) that he's on the roster through all of next season.

Seriously, I can't wait for it to get underway. I have a sneaking suspicion that some scripts are going to be flipped after it's all said and done. And speaking of done, Gettleman may not even be done yet which will throw another FA receiver into the mix.

I may not be enamored with the group right now, but competition is always a good thing. Hopefully it's a fierce one.

Call Vegas. Some chump who doesn't know how Rivera hangs for dear life onto JAGs might take that bet,.

Already got it on the fight I'm just saying how certain I am he'll be on the team, and likely contributing. I don't get why you hate Corey. He's already better than your boy Moore.

I could see Philly Brown our #3 WR over Ginn. He and Ginn are basically the same player only Brown doesn't have drop issues. I really would love for us to get Jalen Strong he would be a solid #2. If We don't draft a WR in the first few rounds then maybe Hill could be our 2, it's a long shot but still possible.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By Icege · Posted

      Sims has to do a little outrage marketing to make the engagement numbers go vroom, but there's been a few analysts that have commented on how Walker is ultimately going to be depending on whomever drafts him to properly develop him. Whether that's starting him off of as a rotational edge guy on obvious passing downs or settling him at ILB will be up to whoever ends up with him. A lot of folks like to point out Isaiah Simmons, and as much as I like Isaiah as a Clemson fan he's not the guy that Jalon Walker is between the ears (this isn't to say Isaiah isn't bright, but didn't seem to breathe football like Jalon does).

      ESPN 3rd mock

      By Icege · Posted

      Evero runs Vic Fangio's scheme and leans heavily on cover 4 with disguised coverages. It is not predominantly cover-2 as suggested. This means that the box safety is going to likely be covering 1/4th as opposed to 1/2 of the field. Whomever the team brings in to be the boundary safety (unless they stay with Demani) is going to be covering the 1/2 part. Though with Evero's scheme, that box safety can also be one of the three underneath coverage guys depending on how they've got it disguised prior to the snap.

      My ChatGPT Assissted Draft

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      I was messing around with ChatGPT and feeding it a lot of information about the current draft.  I think we came up with a perfect draft scenario for the Panthers.  this was just a quick 3-round mock with a trade-back with Pittsburgh.    TRADE RECAP Panthers send: Pick 8 Steelers send: Picks 21, 51, 84 Panthers draft with: 21, 51, 57, 74, 84 ROUND 1, PICK 21: Tetairoa McMillan – WR1 – Arizona (#12) Why it works: Gives Bryce Young a true WR1 with elite ball skills and separation ability Resets the WR room with a long-term outside alpha ROUND 2, PICK 51: James Pearce Jr. – EDGE7 – Tennessee (#36) Why it works: Gifted edge bender who can win off the edge with speed and twitch High-upside Burns replacement with flexibility to rotate early behind Clowney/Wonnum ROUND 2, PICK 57: Kevin Winston Jr. – FS4 – Penn State (#83) Why it works: True free safety with range and coverage instincts Plays faster than timed speed — perfect deep safety fit in Evero’s scheme Could immediately compete to start  ROUND 3, PICK 74: Azareye’h Thomas – CB6 – Florida State (#51) Why it works: Big, athletic corner who can develop into a full-time starter Could play outside or nickel and provides much-needed depth with Horn’s health always in question ROUND 3, PICK 84: Darius Alexander – DT7 – Toledo (#61) Why it works: Fluid, active interior lineman with pass-rush upside Great value here — helps solidify the DL rotation behind Derrick Brown and Shy Tuttle Final 3-Round Mock  Pick Player Position School Rank in The Beast 21 Tetairoa McMillan WR Arizona #12 51 James Pearce Jr. EDGE Tennessee #36 57 Kevin Winston Jr. FS Penn State #83 74 Azareye’h Thomas CB Florida State #51 84 Darius Alexander DT Toledo #61
