I'm told the Carolina Panthers are working out Paul Richardson/WR/Colorado today...scouting reports: http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/WR/Paul-Richardson 

deep speed guy. 6'0 but is little 180 pounds. produced at a bad school and played high school ball with Marqise Lee and Robert Woods. did have a torn ACL injury in 2012, but played all last year with no injuries. Ricky didnt tweet it.

draft site:

It's too bad nobody pays attention to Colorado football because football fans really missed out on watching one of the nation's truly elite athletes....Richardson is as talented as any receiver in this draft not named Sammy Watkins

...

weaknesses: slender frame not the best for going over the middle or shedding tackles

strengths: He has all-world speed...Richardson’s elite speed makes him a matchup nightmare...He has instant acceleration; he explodes off the line...he shakes press coverage without defensive backs getting a hand on him...he has an explosive and deceptive double move...What makes Richardson's athleticism come to life are his ball skills which are off the charts...he has incredible ball skills; his ability to track and adjust to the ball in the air are elite. He has outstanding leaping ability and wide catch radius; he routinely makes circus catches...He has outstanding body control along the sidelines...and will take the top off a defense

...

summary: it's impossible not to be drawn by this kid's athleticism and the creativity he brings to the game. Coaches and general managers will be drooling over this kid’s potential throughout the draft process and figure to select this speedster out of Colorado some time early on day two of the NFL Draft.

Cool bringing everyone in, but he and Cooks are my least two favorite receivers in this draft.  Height doesn't concern me with either, it's how physical players at the next level are going to have their way with them if they don't adjust their game.  Still glad we are continuing our due dilligence, but Richardson is very meh for me.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
