This is off CBS Sports Mock Draft

I don't have his speed but he was productive his entire career at Alabama.  Not a one hit wonder over 2700 yds receiving in 3 years.

With Hurney saying we need to get faster on both sides of the ball.   Is this the right choice at #24?

There are and will be arguments for a safety, CB and DE.  

He is 6'1 190 and according to the write up.  He is is good at getting separation something we definitely need.

Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama. Ridley is probably the best wideout when it comes to creating separation in the entire class, and that skill is precisely what Carolina needs for Cam Newton to not be forced into a plethora of tight-window throws each game.

he wont be there at 24, carolina would need to move up to get him but yeah thats the guy I want

Not that these mock draft ever predict the actual outcome but at 24 this sounds like a good pick.  I don't really know much about him other than what I just read and rarely get to see any college games.

What stood out to me is 2741 yd receiving over 3 years.  This guy produced even as a freshman.

I agree -- I'd love to have Calvin Ridley, but to have him fall to 24 is a pipe dream. Carolina would have to end up trading up, which isn't a bad idea to a mid-round position (maybe 12-16). They could offer their 1st and one of the 3rd rounders they have (seems like a lot, but if Ridley is as good as scouts have viewed him and his potential, it's worth it completely -- not like Armanti Edwards was). I'd love to see them trade up for Sutton or Ridley, but I just don't see either of them falling to 24.

IMO, the only thing we need to be targeting at the top of the draft is a game breaking WR for Cam. It's been far too long, he needs a true WR1. 

If we got a WR in round one.  He has to be a game changer.  If we draft the right guy our offense will be very explosive.  Taking into account we also have Funchess, Samuel and Byrd.  I think the 5th WR should be a veteran Free Agent.

That said, this mock has him falling to us.  But as we all know Mocks usually last till pick three and from there it is a crapshoot.

Ridley could very well be there at 24. It he wasn’t from Alabama, I am not sure he would even be mentioned as a top 10 pick. He’s coming out of a school that produced Julio Jones and Amari Cooper. I dont see Ridley near those two guys. He’s clearly not Julio for sure. His celing could be Cooper. 

I think Ridley will be eligible to play in the Senior Bowl, which he should. He needs to prove that he’s as fast as the other guys, better hands than the others, and the best route runner to be drafted top15. 

James Washington is a RB playing WR; extremely fast. We all know Kirk will run fast and Sutton has size. And then there is Anthony Miller who is fast too. 

Not as physically gifted as Cooper. Better route runner but inconsistent hands. Would have been nice to see a decent QB throw to him the last couple years.

there were alot of mock drafts that mocked CMC to us last year. But it was within 3-4 weeks of the draft. 

If you look at mocks very close to draft time 1-3 weeks out, they usually get some first rounders correct.

    • Arm strength has always been overrated. But Bryce's arm was also not as bad as it looked last year - he just had terrible mechanics / footwork. He's come a LONG way. Actually, his raw arm strength isn't bad at all, as we see when he's throwing balls on the move. But prior to his benching, he didn't seem to have his mechanics down consistently enough to really drive the ball. As to eating crow, plenty of fans thought the KC game was an anomaly. With a second good game, I'm interested to see if he can make it three in a row - especially against a MUCH tougher opponent. Here's hoping!
    • And that's not even getting to the discussion of that this kid has finally shown some sort of consistency after almost 2 years of being in the league. We dedicated an entire off season of team construction and money spent on him just so we could get to this point or you might as well say sample size of what he can actually give us after a full season of let down and the stans are already marching around wanting crow...I would do yourself a favor and put that crow on the shelf sit back and continue to observe bryces progress for now because it's not out the woodwork you wont be the one eating it. Lol
    • That doesn't concern me as much with how few of those big bodies WRs there are in the NFL these days, at least of the elite WRs, most of them are more fast/quick than big. It's also why I want T-Mac so bad, he'd be a unicorn in this league right now with his size and skill combo. I actually think Hunter would make for a nice pairing with Horn because of that.  Horn would be matched with the bigger/stronger WR of a team while Hunter would take on the speedier WRs. I see a lot of positives to drafting Hunter here, as a CB, but I see way too many downsides to want to take that risk with a pick we have to hit a home run with.  I'm taking T-Mac and Burden over Hunter as a WR and I'm taking Johnson over him as a CB, 100 out of 100 times. Hunter is a legitimate generational collegiate talent, but the fact is that he's not the best prospect at either of his positions in this year's draft, combine that with other issues that come with him, and I'm just going a different way if he's on the board, let someone else deal with that headache that will follow him.
