Which two round scenario appeals more to you?

B, I like Peat, limitations in pass pro worry me some, but I have that worry with pretty much every tackle this year and Smith is just a perfect deep threat which we need so badly. Not only is he fast but he tracks the ball amazingly when it's in the air and will then go up and get it.

I don't like Strong, especially in the 1st so that ones out although I do like Fisher quite a bit.

Ogbeuhi is pretty much going to be red shirting as he would miss probably all of camp and Shaq's position on our team plays 30% of the snaps so you're basically getting almost no production next year for our top 2 picks.

A.  Strong and Fisher are both great prospects.  Peat would be great, but Devin Smith potentially has a limited role (I've watched lots of breakdown videos of him, not highlights, and he mostly just seems good for the deep ball...I want more than a 1 trick pony out of our 2nd round pick).  I like Shaq well enough, but not as our first pick.  Would be fine trading up for him in the 2nd (using other picks from this year, not next year's picks), and I'd be good with Ogbuehi in the 2nd.

A.

I really want another 6' receiver opposite KB. (But a faster one) Also, like many, I like the fact Fisher has experience protecting a mobile QB. I wouldn't be totally opposed to option B, but option C would bother me. I don't believe Shaq and Cedric would contribute much. I would be happier with either in the second round though. But we need to get a day one starter with our first round pick if possible.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
