Best route runner outside of Cooper in the draft, consistently a hands catcher that can get up and pluck the ball, enough speed to get vertical and win over the top, willing blocker, some wiggle after the catch, can play outside and in the slot, high character player that wins with preparation, big time punt returner and long-time solution there once Ginn is done.

Name 5 better.

 

Pessimistic view....A rookie hasn't proven anything, KB led the league in drops last year, Ginn has never done anything at WR other than his one season here where he was decent, and Brown has less than 300 yards last year.

 

Optimistic view... KB was a 1000 yard rookie, we'd be adding another 1st rounder to the mix, Ginn is a proven deep threat in our offense, and Brown showed promise.

 

Even with the most optimistic viewpoint possible, I wouldn't expect our WR corps to be a top 5 NFL WR corps next year.  Maybe with the right addition we can be a year or two down the road, but starting WRs who are in their 2nd year and rookie year aren't going to lead to a top 5 NFL WR corps.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
