This may have been awhile ago, but I remember Gettleman making a comment about prefering to draft running backs and wide receivers with kick/punt return experience.  Said it shows they're a true playmaker.  It's no secret the Panthers will draft a WR, likely a speedy one with return experience.  Considering the Panthers are desperately in need of a KR/PR and also need help at WR, this seems like a no brainer.  

 

So ignoring the WR's with little to no college return experience, who are the top guys?  Haven't spent much time reviewing the prospects this year as some of you have.

Tyler Lockett from Kansas State.

I would love for us to draft this kid in the fourth round but he probably will get drafted in the third round.

Nelson Agholor from USC is a poplar choice around here. Some compare him to Jeremy Maclin.

Phillip Dorsett, WR from Miami has major speed and should be decent on special teams. He is a project at receiver.

Ty Montgomery WR from Stanford has had a good career at WR and is a good return man. Was projected to be a 1st round pick but now probably a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Jamison Crowder, WR Duke is a undersized prospect that some compare to Brandin Cooks. Projected to be a late round prospect.

Mario Alford, JJ Nelson, Christion Jones, D'Joun Smith, Rannell Hall, Kaelin Clay, Quan Bray, Andre Debose and Marcus Murphy are some guys I have seen on top return prospect list.

I believe Justin Hardy has return ability but just not great at it.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
