Current Panthers Receiver Depth Chart

Here is a look at how the Carolina Panthers receiver depth chart is shaping up, as I see it. 

 

#1 Receiver

 

Kelvin Benjamin - Looking to build on a solid rookie campaign. 

 

#2 Receiver

 

Help Wanted - Apply Within

 

#3 Receiver / Deep Threat

 

Ted Ginn - Back in Carolina, looking to regain stride

Corey Brown - Showed great potential to build on. 

 

#4 Receiver / 3rd down possession guys

 

Jerricho Cotchery - Mixed results in 2015

Brenton Bersin - Dependable role player, had a few nice first down grabs.

Jarrett Boykin - Will push Bersin, possible special teams roster spot

 

 

Question Marks / Special Teams

 

Stephen Hill - Fan favorite with much to prove still 

De'Andre Presley - on the bubble

Mike Brown - Special teams signing

Marcus Lucas - Big body that showed flashes in 2014 training camp

 

 

The Carolina Panthers still appear to be primed to draft a wide receiver early in the 2015 NFL Draft. I still like Jaelen Strong in the first round at 25, who the Panthers are also interested in.

The glaring hole at #2 is the caveat to the whole offense. They have to hit on a WR that can produce and fill that void. With a solid pick, we win. D.G needs to do his magic in the draft and get this done.

If the #2 WR gets filled via draft or Jennings, then the depth chart you show here is a solid WR group for this coming year. Not a major strength but certainly not a weakness. However, if the depth chart must be shuffled to include no new WRs (no draft and no Jennings) then the depth chart takes on a dramatically different luck. Unless of course one of the "Question Marks / Special Teams" guys you point out does in fact surprise in camp.

 

To be sure, I like the group (even as is) and am excited to see them shake out their positioning in camp. I would really like the group if we have a solid #2. Add Jennings AND a #2 from the draft? It's a strength.

 

Time will tell but, as per usual, I'm optomistic.

A lot of feelings will be hurt when Brown go bye bye.

Having absolutely nothing to do with my feelings towards Philly or my fandom, I would bet $10,000 (pretty much everything I have) that he's on the roster through all of next season.

Seriously, I can't wait for it to get underway. I have a sneaking suspicion that some scripts are going to be flipped after it's all said and done. And speaking of done, Gettleman may not even be done yet which will throw another FA receiver into the mix.

I may not be enamored with the group right now, but competition is always a good thing. Hopefully it's a fierce one.

Call Vegas. Some chump who doesn't know how Rivera hangs for dear life onto JAGs might take that bet,.

Already got it on the fight I'm just saying how certain I am he'll be on the team, and likely contributing. I don't get why you hate Corey. He's already better than your boy Moore.

I could see Philly Brown our #3 WR over Ginn. He and Ginn are basically the same player only Brown doesn't have drop issues. I really would love for us to get Jalen Strong he would be a solid #2. If We don't draft a WR in the first few rounds then maybe Hill could be our 2, it's a long shot but still possible.

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
