Bucky Brooks Has the Panthers Taking Christian Kirk in His First Mock Draft

[rayzor]

McCaffrey + Kirk = Christian coalition

[top dawg]

I don't know exactly what to make of Kirk.  I don't necessarily think that he's a sure-fire first rounder.  He was primarily used in the slot, so he's going to have to bone up on the total route tree.  We have Samuel who is s similar type of receiver (if not even a bit more versatile).  And, like Samuel,  he allows the ball into his body a bit more than I'd like, but drops apparently aren't an issue. 

I just wonder how he'll handle the press at the line,  or if his short are quickness will be too much for CBs to effectively jam him at the line.  It's that quickness and speed that is the X-factor with this kid. 

He's definitely going to have to develop,  but so far I've seen people say that he could work his way into being Hilton, Cooks or even OBJ at his ceiling.  You never know though.  As always we'll have to trust our FO.  Like in CMC's case, whom I thought was a true second rounder,  if you want him you may have to take him in the first.

I really do like that Chark kid.

Backend of the 1st rd with the 24th pick.

If he can stretch the field from the outside or deep post like Ginn then Curtis can be freed up in the slot. This would really help the run game out.  

Healthy Funchess, Kirk, Healthy Curtis and Healthy Byrd can do some damage through the air. 

I just do not see a route in FA with our little salary cap.

I like Moncrief as a TD machine. Most of the FA WR will command a minimum of 5 Mill to 8 Mill. 

This offseason has more ? than answers.

I'd rather get a vet who can play day 1 instead of waiting for another WR to develop. 

Cam and Norv need weapons today not 2 or 3 years from now. 

Would have to come via trade.

Mike Wallace can do Ginn job and won't cost a arm and legg.. Moncerif, John and Jaron Brown, Paul Richardson, Kendall Wright,  and Jordan Matthew's may all be available and day one give you experience and NFL production..

I like the Idea of Wallace and Moncrief.  Wallace will be 32 heading into next season so he wont be expensive.. We are in dire need of a veteran deep threat and Wallace is exactly that.

Now this is a good plan and smart move..

You sign a older vet like Wallace and than maybe draft a WR in later rounds.. 3rd  thru 6th .. So you get your developmental project and young deep threat.. (Samuels, Byrd, draft pick) ..While haveing a vet and deep threat guy day one... Also Wallace is still forcing teams to put their number 1 CB on him.. Which will help the rest of the corp..

Just watched some highlights of Kirk. The kid definitely has wheels and as an added bonus, he seems super slippery. I cant count how many times I watched him wriggle out of a tackle, sometimes at full speed.

WRs projected to go after 1st round I like : Anthony Miller, Michael Gallup, Desean Hamilton, Deon Cain,  Dante Pettis, James Washington . I could see us trading up in the 2nd round like we did with Funchess to grab Miller, Washington, or Cain since we have that extra 3rd rounder. or if one of them drops to the 3rd we might give up both 3rds and the 6th or something to get a WR.

Defense 1st 2 rounds offense later .. Get Cam a vet weapon in FA.  I like..

DE and Saftey?

1ST ROUND DE are getting thin .. We might not be in range for 1.. Safties seem like they are falling to us now.. Of course that could change.. But i would look at safeties prospects in the 1st a DE prospect in the 2nd and maybe a TE and guard in the 3rd..

Draft a legion of boom part 2 and then get FA wide receivers. For real. 

I keep saying no more what if’s and projects for Cam, get the man some veteran help.

whats New England do for Brady? They go get amendolas and Cooks and Randy Moss and others.

trade for Josh Gordon and get a Mike Wallace.

christian Kirk if he’s available at our pick,... i like his highlights,.. really but I’d rather shut down the Chunk plays that were killing us late in the season.
