A 1st round WR would be a head scratcher because Bryce should be feeding Tmac and Coker as much as possible. The only positive with XL is the fact that he seems fine with being the decoy receiver.

Dillon is an insurance policy if Brooks doesn't play well or can't stay healthy. Panthers don't seem ready to rely on Etienne for any meaningful touches yet.

He is here because Young cant get 1 yard when needed. Its sad that we need to keep an extra back just for that reason, but here we are

The Bengals analogy is a great one! Basically would be if XL (Higgins) and Bryce (Burrow) actually worked. (And Coker is basically Tyler Boyd). If Bryce and XL had shown that level of talent and results. The only way I would be comfortable with drafting a WR in the 1st is if we had actually brought in competition to replace Bryce this offseason and prepared to trade XL before training camp.

That's entirely up to AJ Dillon.

Like I said, those 2 are not cut out for MLB or WLB in a 4-3 base defense. You certainly will have to double dip if you are going to switch. You will need to get a MLB for sure because Lloyd is the weekside backer. You need a middle linebacker from the draft and better depth behind him. Wallace is a backup to Lloyd. Rodriguez is better suited for ILB in a 3-4 base. Its a minor difference but it does matter.

There's no logical reason to think he is. We do this every season. We bring in a mid-tier back to compete and be a spell for Chuba. If Jonathan Brooks can stay healthy I could see AJ Dillon riding the pines, but I still think they will keep him on the team.

Like Montrell Johnson and Anthony Tyus who are both RBs on the roster at the moment

All they have to do is play like they want the damn thing and not like they played the last 2 games at home. They should have took exception to getting T-bagged by Maxey, Embiid, and Tatum. Hopefully they can man up against the Suns and Pacers. If they don’t make the playoffs, they have nobody to get mad at but themselves. That would be my motivation.

Omar Cooper Jr had a great pro day yesterday and we have a 30-visit with him. Concepcion is a Charlotte native and could be more what Canales is looking for, but the desire for a shifty WR has some legs to it. I think either would complete our WR room, but prefer selecting a WR until the 3rd round or later. Let’s find out Jalen McMillan or Tez Johnson.

You don't sign former 2nd round picks in March as "camp bodies" Most "camp bodies" come in the form of undrafted free agents

Personally, I don't think so. Here is why: Blocking--our T situation could need help. A 245 lb back can help. If we keep a RB in to block and release, we are able to release a TE without chipping the speed rusher more. It sure seems as if we are going to address a pass-catching TE. Short yardage.

He might not make the team but they brought him in to genuinely give him a shot. Camp bodies are players you never heard of and dont even know they are on the roster.

I think it would be a huge blow to the players to not get in to the playoffs. They really need to get in for confidence going into next season

I agree. It just depends on the receiver. KC Concepcion would be a reach at 19 for me. Why? Too many drops over his career. I'd pick him in the second however, with bells on. If Makai Lemon is available at 19, there would have to be a discussion.

Losses for a young team are going to happen. I get disappointed in the moment but to be clear I am emphatically impressed with the progress these guys have made and LaMelo has stepped up in a big way as a leader. Embiid is just a monster and also gets the very cushy benefit of practically every call going his way against franchises such as ours. The Celtics actually could serve as a tale of hope for us. They lingered and lingered and flirted with playoff success but couldn't get over the hump to the point of people clowning them. But then suddenly everything clicked and they went on a run and won the finals. If this team gets serious about dedicating themselves to maximizing the whole floor and not just from behind the arc we could find ourselves in the midst of a Celtics or Thunder kind of postseason run sooner than later. But it won't happen without that offensive evolution. I just hope to see that come to fruition.

XL has really not done himself any favors from a multitude of angles. Just have to be honest about that. That being said. The inconsistency in standards for certain players on the roster is certainly impossible to ignore I agree. And even at times last year rookie TMac was a scapegoat by some Panthers fans for not being able to singlehandedly will us to victories with Bryce Young throwing him passes.

Dan Morgan had said previously before we are missing a guy who can take a play 70 yards at any given moment. Concepcion fits that description. Very explosive player. He would also solve the black hole at punt returner. He was one of the best returners in college last year. If Coker or TMac gets hurt, we have no one else at WR. Coker had yet to stay healthy.

He is only 27 and has pretty good size. More a pounder then a speedster. What's the opinion on this guy?

I can't name another QB who has gotten the benefit of doubt because of their protection, Cam being the big one. Bryce is just the GOAT at getting free passes and I don't think there's any way around that.

4-3 conversion would give us a big need at LB, but would cool me down on DT. Brown, Brown, Wharton, and Jackson for two spots looks way better than the same for 3 spots.

Boston's a top team and Embiid is like if someone designed a basketball player in a lab specifically to beat to Charlotte. I would not get too hung up on those

yeah I think DB gets more pressure in the 3-4 but he can play either.

dude I don't give a crap who we play as long as we get into the playoffs. Obviously the season is already a success but man it'd hurt to get a 9 or 10 seed and lose in the play in round after how well we've played the last 3 months
