Tweet nugget from Michael Smith...

[Ja Rhule]

ESPN's Michael Smith is "hearing" that the Panthers are targeting a wide receiver in the second round.

Carolina selects 48th overall, and is not expected to draft Colt McCoy or Jimmy Clausen if they are available. With regard to pre-draft workouts and visits, the Panthers were linked to Taylor Price of Ohio and South Florida's Carlton Mitchell. Mitchell would give the team a certified deep threat with ideal size. Price has 4.4 speed, but projects as more of a possession guy.

So neither Benn or Tate. F00k me.

Well I don't think either of them falls 16 more spots so we'd have to trade up for them.

I was talking with a fellow Panther fan after class this morning and we were talking about ideal scenarios... I told him how their was the rumors on here from LaCanfora about trading up for McCoy...

I told him I wouldn't have a problem at all with trading next years #1 to get up in the first 5 picks or so of the 2nd this year, and take some combo of Tate/Benn/Gilyard/Price/Cody (DT). If we go WR/DT in the 2nd, I would take Jacoby Ford in the 3rd. Regardless, IMO we've got to add 2 WRs with our early picks. If we want a QB, take Pike, Lefevour, etc. and develop them with a later pick. Also would like to add Dakoda Watson later... In my mind, 2 WRs early, a DT, a QB, and hit one out of DE/LB/CB.

I think if we don't trade down for Benn, then we should just go with BPA between DL and WR
