Why Passing on a WR in the first might not be a option

I have been a big supporter of trading down or drafting a WR in the 2nd round. But it is looking like if we wait til the 2nd round there might not be a viable WR at the 44th pick.

Most of you think I have been on the bandwagon to draft Austin at 14 because Im labeled a WVU Homer. That wasnt the case until now. I would much prefer us to trade down to the mid 20 picks and grab a extra pick in the 2nd or 3rd round. But that most likely wont happen. Looking at the latest mocks a lot of WR thought to be avaible at the 44th pick are moving up to the late first round.

So with said the 14th pick should be Austin or Patterson. If we can trade down to the mid 20's then we can grab either Hunter , Hopkins or Allen. To me we need to grab one of these in the draft. Honestly I couldnt care which one but anything past them wont help us down the road.

Wide receiver is one of the deepest positions in the draft this year.

Cordarrelle Patterson

Keenan Allen

Tavon Austin

Quinton Patton

Justin Hunter

Deandre Hopkins

Robert Woods

Terrance Williams

Cobi Hamilton

Da'Rick Rogers

Markus Wheaton

Aaron Dobson

Marquis Goodwin

Ryan Swope

You really think there's gonna be a run on all of those before we pick in the 2nd?

I have a feeling that "V. Cruz" or some later round draft stud is in our future, so instead we pick OL or DL. Too many big bodies at 14 to pass up.

Trading back would be ideal.

This fanbase I swear.

"LET'S KEEP PASSING ON WR TALENT LET'S FIND THAT DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH I MEAN IT WORKED WITH ARMANTI."

I mean seriously this Fanbase gets upset when Hurney tried to do that but then still wants Gettlemen to do it and this is why our roster is so weak holy poo.

True it is a deep class but there is elite and then there are the rest. I dont want the rest I want elite.

14- Warmack/Cooper

44- Best DL or WR available

I'm not against drafting OT in the first but

I'm still not sold on a fugin' Guard in the top 15 no matter how good they are.

If Fisher/Johnson drop to us though I'd take them in a heartbeat.

Let's see... Drafting Guard in top 15 is dumb. First round DTs have only 50% chance of being successful in NFL. Pick your poison...

In my opinion we need WR... Our #1 WR is 34 year old. Our #2 WR struggled mighty as #2 WR. We don't even have a clear cut #3 WR. I feel bad for Cam Newton...

Uuuuuugh why would you want a great receiving option when you can have aaron dobson I mean come on guiz!!!

It's truly stunning that Panther fans are content to let what is now one of the most important positions in football wallow in sub mediocrity after the parade of juco level busch league butt cheek biting retards we have had come through the position the last ten years

I MEAN WHY TAKE A RECEIVER WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY HIGH PROFILE GUARD PROSPECTS TO CHOOSE FROM THIS YEAR I MEAN AMIRITE OR AMIRITE GRRR HUZZAH GROUND AND POUND WITH THE BEEF! BRING BACK 1960's MANBALL!!

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
