Daniel Jeremiah wrote an article about 10 draft insights.  You can read it here:  https://amp.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000926622/article/2018-nfl-draft-josh-rosen-could-slide-colts-looking-to-trade

Panthers aren't in it, but he finished with some rankings on WRs, listing the best Route Runners, Big receivers/red-zone threats, Chain Movers, and Big Play threats.  That makes me wonder, which type would be the best on the Panthers?  Right now we have:

  • Route Runner:  ???
  • Big Receivers/red-zone threats: Funchess
  • Chain Movers:  Wright, Bersin (if he makes the roster)
  • Big Play threats:  Smith, Samuel (in theory), Byrd

Personally, I think we need another chain mover, because we have an amazing red zone weapon already in Cam.  What are your thoughts?

We need a WR who plays on the outside, can beat the press (which is not Byrd or Samuel) and can take the top off the defense (exactly what Ginn did for us).  This is the best compliment to Funchess or any WR1 for that matter.  Torrey Smith can fill that role, but he's a short term answer and not the future WR2 of this team.

Some one like Steve Smith

 

Coming out of college, he was known as a great route runner with good return ability.  Played faster than his 40 time would indicate.  There were concerns about his size, but if he was put into one of the four boxes it would probably be Route Runner.

      I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
