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.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
