True, but you know full well it's the guys with the injury history that this gets talked about with. 

Yes, that is true. It's just I don't worry about it unless it's same or similar injuries.   We don't have a single player on our roster that fits THAT description.

I think the avg points per game post Bryce benching is top 12ish in the NFL. 

Possibly so but that doesn't really change what I said.

Well, there is that guy that we traded up to draft in the 2nd round last year...

Ranking WRs is so subjective and especially for rookies.  I think Coker, Legette, and Sanders are solid options that I expect to be much improved in year 2.  Go grab another vet WR in free agency and let's let the young guys eat.  No way are our offensive weapons in the bottom 5.  Sorry, but I don't agree with this.

Well….it would be hard to actually write down 5 teams with worse weapons in reality presently and not factoring what folks might become

We are just going to disagree. I think that if you looked at a metric(PFF or maybe AV) you would find us in the bottom 5. Also if you did a subjective look at over all rosters and compare them to our WR corps, you are going to have a very difficult time making an argument against this being a bottom 5 unit.

Because of the youth, there is definitely upside but AT, XL and Coker are not scaring anyone overall.

I'm struggling to find a WR corp that is worse than ours unfortunately. Every team has a #1 WR, we don't have one. Maybe the Jags?

Brian Thomas Jr. He is very, very good.

Perhaps you are correct but it has been a long time since the Panthers had a WR core that scared anyone and this could be part of the problem.  They finally found someone with Moore and the fans complained nonstop that he wasn't a true number 1 and perhaps the front office agreed and why he was traded.  If Warren is there at number 8, that's going to be the pick.

I agree. It is a position that has been dramatically mismanaged. Our draft selections have been fuging horrifying. TMJ, Mingo, XL, etc. We just keep making the same mistakes over and over. All in effort to replace a top 20 WR which....we had and traded away. Meanwhile, we fumble the "off limits" player in Brian Burns and get almost nothing for him. Unreal.

I know people are really attached to the Warren idea(I really dislike it) but I do think we arw aggressively telegraphing that we probably take an EDGE at 8.

Their rookie finished the season #3 in receiving yards.  

I don't know who all makes up the bottom 5.  But I know 99% of folks are going to have Carolina and New England in their list
