With the 19th pick in the 2014 draft the Carolina Panthers select.... an Oregon Running Back?

The Carolina Panthers have become a playoff contender thanks to Cam Newton,Steve Smith and a defense that's been built up through the NFL draft. To seriously challenge in the NFC South, the offense needs to continue to improve.

One area where the offense is lacking would be at wide receiver opposite Smith. Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn may have a play or two here and there that make you pause and take notice, but overall neither has risen to the level of being a true No. 2 option for Newton in the passing game. That's where a talent like De'Anthony Thomas can take this offense to a new level.

Thomas is similar in many ways to Percy Harvin. The Oregon Ducks move him around often, utilizing his speed at running back, as a receiver and as a return man. The Panthers would want to do the same, basically getting the ball to Thomas as early and often as possible. 

Thomas may not be the most conventional wide receiver, but he's a true offensive weapon anytime he touches the ball.

 

I've seen 5 different mock drafts showing we take this guy, I will literally set fire to BOFA if this happens.

Yes, I just can't believe that 5+ people that are getting paid to write articles and make mock drafts think we would draft a RB.

 

It makes about as much sense as trading up to the #1 pick and drafting Ryan Leaf from retirement.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Yeah Oline or CB in the first. I'd be shocked to see something different

This guy is a glorified Barner

[Matthias]

Yeah, I wouldn't like that pick.  Besides, you don't draft running backs in the first round anymore.  Also, we will be drafting at 32 overall, so this mock is wrong on two accounts.

[CPF4LIFE]

I want a PURE Wide Receiver. To hell with this crap.

Damn guys, we missed the trade deadline. Should have hit up the 49ers and traded for LaMichael James.  Oregon running backs....collect them all.
