Have we all seen WR D.K Metcalf?

We could use a tall WR who can actually catch the ball. That would have to be priority number 1, being that we struck out so hard on Funchess and Benjamin. 

I'm confused about the picture, is he the one on the left? If so he seems a bit bulky to be playing WR efficiently.

"Iowa State’s Hakeem Butler is not only the tallest wide receiver at this year’s combine (6-5 3/8), but his hands are also a freakish 10 34 — the same size as the largest hands in the NBA. The combination of Butler’s hand zone and his impressive 35 2/8 arms give him an incredible 83 7/8 wingspan; which mean he has the arms of a person who is 7 feet tall. "

Yes he is the big one on the left. Guy has been pretty good at ole miss.

Dude is a freak but so dam raw

They say his route tree is pretty limited

He missed most of last year with with a neck injury which he has since been cleared.

 

Doubt he makes it to 16.

Plus, our only DEs signed for next year are Addison, Obada, and Marquise Haynes.  And your solid starting DEs are going to be going for 14-15 on the market which we just cant afford.

 

 

Metcalf really reminds me of this guy though

Same size, projected speed, and about the same point coming out as far as route runners

One problem, football isn't bodybuilding.

The guy caught 26 passes for 569 yards in an offense that threw the ball 440 times for nearly 4200 yards.

This guy is the prototypical bust. Mediocre college production, but unreal physical talent and absolutely looks the part

Remember when David Boston swole up to such an absurd size and was out of the league shortly thereafter?

Yep. You don't need to carry a ton of muscle mass to play WR. Those knees don't know the difference between fat weight and muscle weight. Either way, they're carrying extra weight. How many great WRs have been built like bodybuilders? Jerry Rice is the GOAT and the guy was built like a bean pole while playing in a league that allowed DBs to be much more physical against WRs than today's NFL.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
