Byrd Runs a 4.28 on grass at SC pro day- not an Aprils fool joke

[panthers55]

so you have any idea about how many receivers we already have on the roster? seriously. the league and college is littered with small fast guys. we need physical guys that can get open and dominate the defense that's guarding them.

can we not just sit back and trust in the staff to get production out of the guys we've been grooming to play in our offense? The only receiver I want to hear about is another ball swallowing monster to pair with Benjamin and Olsen who is next to impossible to cover because they are so physically imposing. This guy should be the one to replace Cotchery.

We have Ginn, Brown and Hill and the best of these should be our guy to stretch the field and until our line is able to block long enough for a speedy route eunnwr to get 30 yards down the field before Cam gets sacked, we should forget about these guys who take 5 or 6 seconds to shake their defender and come up with long bombs.

We are a conservative possession-laden offense. it's what we are. we run 4 receiver sets...occasionally. We use an Hback and sometimes even put our top-5 TE in the backfield to block. Cam has weapons, we just can't use them because of all the injuries that have plagued us.

we need a dominant, big bodied receiver who can out physical anyone who covers him, I don't care to see anymore nonsensical 40-yard passes wasted on 2nd and 7 that forces us into a pass play where the defenders are bringing the house because they know we are in a passing situation.

Byrd is surely not going to start and may not play that much for a year or two. It would be nice to get him as a UDFA which virtually nothing risked but a roster spot and pocket change. But if we like him you invest a third day pick on him. I agree that if it was me, I,would be drafting a bookend for Benjamin like Perriman, or if he is gone then Strong or Parker. If we go slot receiver than I like Dorsett. I just think that Byrd is much less of a risk given how low we would draft him. Frankly I would take as many as 3 receivers in this draft.

Yeah...Byrd was never a weapon for USC. Nick jones was a better receiver for us and he was like 5'7". I'd take Jones over him UDFA

He's a track star playing football

I thought you were referring to deceased former US senator Robert Byrd.

[afinley]

I've watched most of his games at scar, not a chance. Impressive when you can't get open with that kind of speed. And lol at Cooper in the first 10 picks. I like him a lot, but that's not happening.

[Fox007]

Oh that reminds me that Mike Davis could fall to the 5th and wouldn't be the worst pick up ever if we didn't go RB earlier in the draft.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

We should draft him in the middle rounds and try to convert him into Quar.... Oh. Nevermind

[uncfan888]

Ahh.. the time of year when fans of college teams begin suggesting that the Panthers should draft people from their teams

He would push Tolbert for fattest RB on the roster.
