Panthers director of college scouting Don Gregory believes "capable" starting receivers can be as found as late as the fourth round in this draft.

"If you do your homework you can find that type of guy in the fourth round," said Gregory. Senior Bowl director Phil Savage, the former Browns' GM, agrees. We're not pretending that Carolina is telegraphing its draft plans, but this is one of the reasons we don't expect the Panthers to use the No. 28 overall pick at wide receiver. The offensive line class isn't anywhere near as deep.

he's right, but that's no reason to not draft a better WR prospect earlier. this is a great class to double down on WRs and knowing that we can find solid quality in the fourth makes me feel good about the second pick we use on one.

On paper right now our oline is a laughing stock. We are hoping to find guys that can play tackle from a group of undrafted players. How you can have a franchise QB yet neglect the oline just doesn't make sense to me. It's cliche to say but it doesn't matter who the WRs are if Cam is getting blasted in the face by a DE.

If the wr's can't get open, it doesn't matter who you have at oline either. It goes both ways . There just isn't going to be a day one starting Lt available at 28th. Bell is going to be the LT this season.

Realistically I think we have to pick a an OT that can start but that is just me.

Wouldn't surprise me Fuller, Gilbert, or Shazier is our pick at 28. We always assume top draft guys are better than who we have or is available as FA. Our FO may deem OTs available as projects and see defensive players as immediate starters.

This doesnt mean much or tell us anything. But if that is the case, go defense first round preferably secondary. DO NOT reach for a OT. I have said before we are not a team that should sit back and wait just because of a deep WR class we dont have a legitimate number 1 WR or number 2. I just cant see how the first 3 picks wont be used on WRs and OTs.

Yeah, and I'm sure Adams, Pilares, Edwards, and Gettis agree with him, there are always lots of quality mid round WRs.

Jokes aside though, I don't think the philosophy of drafting project WRs mid round every year is a good one obviously. We need a guy with 1st round talent at some point. That being said, the thought of going the 1st 2 rounds without drafting an OT this year scares me. There is a big drop off after that.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.

      Might not have been in this specific thread... As far as the other, I'm not necessarily reading every post that isn't responding to me so I don't think I saw that. Mind you, we've certainly seen the "not a real fan" stuff on here before.
