Panthers Objective should be Select one Vol at some point.

Seriously.... either one of these guys look good enuff to be our new number one or at least two. Hard to imagine all this talent was at one point under one roof. I personally would take hunter and da'rick rodgers over patterson,but he is a talent in his own right. Da'rick will most likely be around in the 3rd because of character concerns,so assuming we could trade down at some point he could be a real steal. I personally love this wr class. I think rodgers might be the best of the bunch but will be over looked.

Justin Hunter

I just don't see richardson really helping us. I mean he could be better and younger than dwan but they pretty much do the same thing. we need a big nasty space eater.

Just for giggles but how long has Dwan been good?? And do you expect the same production he had last year?

I understand what your saying,But how does drafting another pass rushing defensive tackle help us win ball games? We have two studs on the outside and Dwan is at least serviceable for another year. we would look almost exactly the same on defense if we didn't get some kind of run stopper or coverage player on defense. Pass rushing Dt should be a after thought.

We hope he's at least serviceable. But we must remember last year was the best he ever had and we still couldn't stop the run effectively.

Plus we are really making fast judgement on some of these players. Some of these guys can stop the run as well as pass rush. It would be nice to have both in one player sometimes.

Rogers WILL end up in trouble. That is a scientific fact.

Hunter has the talent and athletic ability to be AJ Green, just not the killer instinct I'd like to see.

Patterson gets knocked a lot lately, but as Jerry Maguire once said, "there's no proof of anything other than this guy is a sensational athlete." Patterson is going to be a star, or my given Christian name isn't "RockytopVol."

I agree with the Humter statement. He has elite Randy Moss like skills with all the finesse..just not going to make those tough catches after a big hit. I still like him.

I forget how explosive Patterson as I championed him after the college season. All are better options than Allen IMO bc I dont see anything that stands oit on Keenan Allen's game tape than Keary Colbert or Jarrett in college(who were both better in college)

I would consider either one in the third, and perhaps Hunter in the second. Rogers has bigger question marks, so Idk if he is worth the pick, especially if Ryan Swope, Aaron Dobson, Kenny Stills and Justin Brown are still on the board.

Per nfl.com's profile

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

Physical specimen with power and strength. Works very well over the middle, and is extremely difficult to bring down after the catch. Gets off the line well for a player of his size. Shows flexibility in adjusting to the football, making difficult catches, and getting out of his routes. Uses his body to shield defenders from making a play on the football. Smooth, with good body control when going up for the football. Strong hands allow him to grab low and wide passes adeptly. Physical run blocker when engaged, will sustain through the play.

WEAKNESSES

Off-field maturity and on-field effort have been issues. Stops his route at times if not the primary target. Body language on the field can be defeating. Lacks great explosiveness to run by corners, no extra gear. Will struggle to track the football at times. Not a very instinctual receiver, doesn't always run the routes he should, doesn't fight to get open when the play breaks down.

NFL COMPARISON

Greg Little

BOTTOM LINE

Rogers is a physical specimen with strong hands who overpowered defenders in his routes and after the catch on his way to second-team All-SEC status in 2011 (67 catches, 1,040 yards, nine TDs), and to a dominating season (78 catches for 1,207 yards and 11 TDs) while at Tennessee Tech. His immaturity off the field caused him to be dismissed from Tennessee before the 2012 season, and thus the biggest questions with Rogers will be about character concerns. While he's not a quick-twitch, vertical threat, Rogers is a big, physical receiver who works well across the middle, and has a tremendous deal of talent

I m surde rodgers will have his issues. But i do believe in his talent on the field. Maybe a good support group can turn him in the right direction. I think his catch ability is better than the other two. And he plays with a edge. Look at the run after catch he drags alot of guys.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
