Opinion: with Short signed, WR time in this draft

[Jmac]

With this signing, it looks like The Dline has been solidified for a few years (have to replace Pep in a year or two and maybe CJ, future issues). Most draft wizards have us looking at WR in the late 2nd to 3rd round, or even later. Is it  time to finally get that guy who can take this passing game to the next level or should they look in the later rounds. Thoughts please.

If fournette isn't there john ross either at 8 or trade back

if fournette is there Chris Godwin via trade up in the 3rd round or maybe even at 64

Seems to be a high number of WRs with a mid-round grades. Around 18+/- WRs graded in the 3-5 range, much larger than normal(about 2x more). Panthers may want the pick of the litter form that group.

Would not be opposed to a double dip at wr

If the staff thought WR was a concern, I feel like they would have sniggered around Corey Davis or Mike Williams more, especially since they will be there at #8 by all accounts.

I'm not thrilled with the guys we have brought in for visits/workouts. I think they are targeting WRs in with one of their 2nd round picks. Based on who we brought in that basically means Chris Godwin, Zay Jones, and Carlos Henderson. Everyone else is basically projected in the late round or UDFA.

A lot of good WRs in this draft. Especially 2nd to 3rd round.

Problem is we have noone to groom at DE, save Larry Webster and Ryan Delaire. CJ, Addison, and Pep are pretty long in the tooth.  I could see us drafting a project guy later (Tanoh). Only way I see us going D-line in the first would be for Thomas, if he somehow fell. Other than that, 8 will be used on LF7, OJ, or Christian Mac IMO. 

As far as WR goes, I'm thinking our 1st second round pick will be used on Zay Jones or Obi if we don't package picks to back into the latter part of the draft. 

"Offense needs to evolve" 

"Shula pleaded for another TE last year, noting that teams had figured the scheme out" . 

1st: OJ

2nd: Obi 

3rd: Godwin/Henderson

4th: Tanoh 

5, 6, and 7 packaged to move back in the 4th: BPA Oline.

Draft Over

So many option Noone knows where Gman could go or end up..

[LinvilleGorge]

I have no idea about when, but I expect RB, WR, TE, and DE to be drafted.

It's looking like they are concerned with a slot guy, but they don't seem too pressed to get the flavors of the day. Either they're not believing the hype, or they figure they can acquire better value in rounds two and/or three.

Zay Jones got tons of production against arguably inferior talent (like Davis), but his TD totals are surprisingly low. For the third time, I will say that Godwin could turn out to be just as good as any receiver in this draft. He really could emerge as the best in the class. Henderson may be sneaky good as well.

I'm fine with who they've brought in. Just surprised that Davis hasn't been here.

Godwin is growing on me. It's a flip of a coin right now between him and Henderson for me in the 2nd.

Joh Ross at 8

[KillerKat]

Even without it, we need WR help Corey Davis should be the pick
