Dan Morgan doubles down on the current receiver room. Sounds like Tet McMillan isn't in consideration with their first round pick.
 

Good

if the panthers draft Jalon Walker, he'll play linebacker in 3-4 defense

I guess I am not getting it…of course he will play LB.  OLB or ILB.  What else would he play?  Weird

I'm not as down on XL as many of you are.  He got open alot and showed toughness.  He deserves another season before writing him off

Most fans are just upset because they think XL made bryce look bad. Thats what it comes down too. If that was any other qb out there throwing balls and getting dropped by XL the energy wouldn't be as bad. XL performed pretty well for a guy picked at the bottom of the first round or second if there was no trade up. There should be no reason for fans writing him off after one year. Everybody knew the guy was a work in progress coming in so the anger is really about something else. If you read between the lines that what it is

I think its because a lot of fans wanted McConkey and he would have to look like Jerry Rice to get any respect from them

Unfortunately, we are the king of these type of guys coming in and flaming out. 

I am just going to assume all our WR's are going to do the same because it seems to be pretty accurate.

Been saying Walker is a 3-4 OLB. He has ZERO value as an early down Inside guy. Absolute fuging 0.

[Basbear]

dan seemed more nervous than normal and gave away more than normal tired GM quotes. 

He knows the main goal, add talent. That's all I care about.

He will be an OLB here.

People need to realize that saying "3-4 LB" is not very informative--that is 36.3% of the defense.

I think he would be the panthers version of Luvu.  Just a bit more athletic and explosive.  True lb on run downs, Edge on passing downs.

It would work.  the question is, do we need an edge if we draft Walker?

Yes. You cannot have too many pass rushers.

Walker is really good at rushing from inside as well(just like Luvu) you move him around and confused the QB

its a joke in response to dan Morgan stating the obvious and not further clarifying his statement

I do this so I can see it--but it is possible that we address every position group on the defense in this draft--:  

OLB Edge:  Clowney, Wonnum, Jones, DRAFT PICK.

ILBs:  Jewell, Rozeboom, Wallace  DRAFT PICK

DE:  Derrick Brown, Robinson, Wharton,  DRAFT PICK

DT:  Brown III, Crumedy, Tuttle DAY DRAFT PICK

CB: Horn, Jackson (he he), Smith-Wade (nickel)  DRAFT PICK

S: Moehrig, Richardson, Scott, DRAFT PICK

I don’t think Dave wants a repeat of last year when XL announced to the world he was our target. I think he wants to throw people off the scent more this year, which makes me think TMac might be the pick if he’s available. No one would feel really good about our WR room right now. A second-year WR with a lot to prove, a promising second-year UDFA, a WR who’s about to retire, and David Moore. The only reason you talk about being satisfied with that room is if you truly think you’ve found studs in XL & Coker, or you’re hoping a WR falls to you in the draft.
