Pretty intresting  read since it is all but assured we will be forced to take one at some point in the draft. The obvious top teir defacto leader was Juedy with a top 10 grade. But then it gets interest with the following group given a top 40 draft grade...lamb followed by ruggs, Jefferson, Tee Higgins from Clemson, Michael Pittman from USC, latvishka sulkaska Jr from Calorado, and Mims from Baylor. 

I personally would be thrilled with any of those guys in the but the later portion all grouped up will probably push some down into our range in the 3rd. What day you?

Meh, I think every team in the league will have to draft a WR this year. It's probably in the CBA. So many eligible receiver picks out there, it might as well be at Overstock.com.

That means they all go undrafted

Nah, there will possibly be more WRs drafted in the first three rounds of this draft than ever before in NFL history. It's a really, really good crop. It devalues them a bit, not for quality, but just for the sheer quantity of good options.

I feel you need 2 premier recievers nowadays. I wouldn't mind getting 1 in the 2nd, preferably with height. 

Tampa is the only team, off the top of my head, that has two premier WRs that I can think of at the moment.

This. Any if those guys across from DJ would be great. Coach Rhule mentioned CeeDee Lamb in conversation. Not reading into that but THATS the type of WR we need. 6'2" YAC guy with 4.3 speed. Moose to DJ/Smitty. Both guys are very dangerous after the catch. My personal WR hope is Lamb but any of those guys would be a good compliment.

minnesota does too, but yeah i see your point. having a good rotation though, like both of the past two super bowl teams had (KC and SF), seems to work. having DJ, samuel and more supporting guys would be fine, i get the push to get a WR with how good this class is but i just don't see it with the sheer amount of holes we have. maybe a collin johnson or another taller option later, but i don't think it's really a need and that we'd be better off expending a 2nd rounder elsewhere especially with the dropoff from 2nd to 3rd.

I dont see how you dont see it.with them not bringing Hogan, olsen or jarius Wright it seems all buy assured. Word Is rhule favors bigger targets and Moore was a solid number 2 wr. I don't see anyway around a Wr.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
