Steve Smith's reaction to this draft... WR Disappointment?

[Jackofalltrades]

Why would he be disappointed?

[Guest silver82blade]

i doubt he's disappointed. we got 2 more qbs to choose from and 3 wrs. even if he is disappointed about the particular players, he would never say it. what's he gonna do, say he hates lafell or clausen? can't and shouldn't do it. he'll give the general media line that he thinks they did good in the draft and he's looking forward to working with the players, whether he's happy or not.

[Dpantherman]

are you crazy? high? Why would he be disappointed? Steve Smith should be the happiest guy on Earth right now. The Panthers showed a commiment to improving the passing game by draft 3 receivers, which has never happened under Fox (idk if its happened under anyone else either). Smitty should finally have help.

To be fair to the OP, our first receiver taken has never had a big year in college, and in watching him I've seen him drop very catchable balls. Granted he never had a good QB. Our 2nd receiver taken was actually the quarterback of an FCS school. Our 3rd receiver taken is a guy who has caught for 675 in his best season in a conference where playing corner is typically optional. Has caught only 4 TD passes in all his 4 years at school.

Now I'm not saying these guys can't make an impact, but I highly doubt Steve Smith is ecstatic about 2 guys who likely won't see the field for years, and a guy who was sort of good in college.

LaFell is already #3

LaFell is already #3

Yes he is. Doesn't mean he will be productive.

[AceMan]

Maybe if he actually believed he wasn't the #1 anymore. Getting 3 WRs is very progressive...even if they're all pretty much projects.

[Dpantherman]

Yes he is. Doesn't mean he will be productive.

you were talking about seeing the field. he will see the field...

I would hope so, but you can never be sure.

I'm sure we all though Jarrett would have seen the field more in his rookie season.

[Dpantherman]

i mean as far as being productive. you can say that about all of the recievers. point is the panthers made a commitment the passing game more than ever, which is a positive to Smitty, bc its been pretty abysmal. not saying he should be jumping and screaming, but he wouldnt be disappointed. no reason to be.

I agree with you. I'm just being cautiously optimistic in regards to the passing game. I hope the new receivers coach can work his magic on some of these young guys.
