Who are the top wide receivers with kick/punt return experience in the draft?

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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
