Boiling down a successful WR corps to "you can't have two 6'+ guys" is one of the worst generalizations I have ever seen. Anywhere. Period.

For Panthers scheme yea it doesn’t work... 

Specificity help .......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Twin Tower doesn’t work

Didn't Smith say last year that he thought Cooper Kupp was the best receiver during the combine? He definitely can see talent.

No he said Corey Davis was the best.. But he did like Kupp..

Loved Anthony Miller, still love Anthony Miller

That Lasley doesn't look too shabby either.

I think you may have misheard him. Here's a clip of what he said at the combine.

Personally I'm hoping we don't sign a WR in the first round because we added a quality a vet in free agency. 

If we do add a receiver I hope it is someone with the potential to play on the outside.  I still think the slot might be the best place for Samuel and Byrd.  Also if we draft a traditional RB (which I think we might), we might see CMC in the slot more.

What I'm hoping:

Starting outside receivers:

Funchess and Vet

Back up outside receiver: draft pick in the 2nd-4th round range

Slot receiver:  Samuel, Byrd, or CMC

Running back:  Rookie, CMC

3rd down back: CMC

Somebody will end up finding a quality receiver in the 2nd-4th round, hopefully it is us.  I'm a fan of Gallup but he might end up gong higher then I originally thought.

I wouldn’t mind Miller or Washington in the 2nd. I really like Gallup though. He seems to have all the tools to be elite. I can see him rising in the draft. Berrios is a nice option late too but I think we’re good on slot WRs.

I'm really curious to see what Norv does with this offense and some of the jack of all trades weapons we have.  One of the looks I really wanted to see us throw at defenses was Cam in the shotgun flanked with CMC and Samuel. You'd essentially have two guys back there who are RB/WR hybrids. Either could take a handoff, either could be threats out of the backfield as receivers, either or both could be motioned out wide. It would put a lot of pressure on a defense.
