FOX's Peter Schrager: "I expect Carolina to take a WR in the 1st R"

[gettlemanjack]

his latest mock (Mar 17) has us taking 6-2/212 WR Breshad Perriman of AAC Co-Champs UCF (who didn't work out at Combine due to hamstring, but his Pro Day is tomorrow), writing:

"Carolina went with a wide receiver in the first round a year ago, and I expect a repeat. Though offensive line remains a glaring issue, Perriman is the type of selection who can further elevate quarterback Cam Newton's game. A 6-2, 215-pound specimen, he's a wild-card prospect who has some scouts' mouths watering and others calling him a project. He didn't compete at the Combine, even further making his first-round grade a difficult one to cement. Perriman isn't a household name, but I like the fit for Carolina."

his 1st R WRs:

#4 Kevin White - "has all the tools"

#10 Amari Cooper - "a rare talent"

#11 DeVante Parker - "can end up jumping even Amari Cooper"

#12 Jaelen Strong - "has a lot of upside"

#25 Breshad Perriman

#31 Dorial Green-Beckham - "no questions as to whether he can play the game"

#32 Nelson Agholor - "best player available...Agholor at 32nd overall would be quite a haul"

UPDATE: and now, in his April 13 Mock, he has us taking an OT

Where do I sign?

Back to back 1st round wide receivers is about as anti-Gettleman as you can get. But I guess anything is possible.

[Bj-Monster23]

I don't know about this, but I don't think it 's too farfetched for the Panthers to go WR. I can bet you that if we do go WR at 25, I definitely see us taking a Tackle in round 2 or 3.

[TylerVagyler]

He didn't participate in the combine due to hamstring injury but his pro day is tomorrow and he is expected to participate in everything.

If he makes a trend out of it, its actually a gettleman tendecy

[Kakarot]

Hopefully, this is true. Either WR or OL in the 1st, and no complaints from me.

[The Huddler]

Not like he has a ten year track record

[Cookie Lyon]

I'm all for it. Hopefully, Gettleman is too.

[rhyslloyd]

I like Perriman. [emoji41]

If the top 4 WRs go in the first 12 picks, I'd prefer to look elsewhere at #25.

 

IMO, those top 4 WRs are about as close to sure things as you're going to find in the draft, but after that there's a pretty steep drop off but a lot of depth.  I'm not convinced there's a big difference between the #5 WR and the #10 WR.

This is why I won't be shocked if we go defense in round one. The top 4 WRs are likely gone, and there will be a run of OL before our pick because everyone always needs OL. Gettleman won't reach for offense just because we struggled there.

Someone read my mock.

If he runs a 4.3, he'll suddenly be a Top 15 prospect... like every year.

 

Well, he's already a borderline first round pick. If he runs a 4.3 he will obviously secure his spot in the first.
