Panthers Not Done At Wide Receiver

On Friday the Panthers traded up and addressed their need for a wide receiver. The selection of Devin Funchess adds another large target to the mix of receivers and helps to put the fans at ease. 

 

However, I don't feel the Panthers are done at receiver yet. I look for them to add a smaller, speedier receiver this weekend. 

 

The Panthers do like ECU receiver Justin Hardy, but they also like Duke receiver Jamison Crowder just as much if not more. Depending on how the cards are played, either of these could be a Panther by the days end. There is a chance Crowder will go undrafted due mainly to his size (5'8), in which case he would come to Carolina as a UDFA.

There's a lot I'd be cool with.  Hardy, Greene, Bell, Crowder, Lewis, Diggs, McBride, Lippett...good options there.  Of course with Hardy being the most ideal.  Hope no one takes him before our 4th rounder.

 

Another WR and RB are in play. And we scouted late round OTs so I could see that happening too.  Za'Darius Smith at DE is still available too.  Haven't been this pumped for Day 3 in years...or maybe ever.

the team might find receiver BPA at some point but they are not somehow in desperate need of a receiver, now that they have a fresh rookie with a first round grade and five guys with NFL experience they truly like, on a team that's probably going to dress four guys ... and a Pro Bowl TE.   On an offense that doesn't throw the ball a ton.

I like Hardy a lot more than Crowder which means he won't be the pick. But Crowder as an UDFA would be awesome.

Have you heard anything connecting McBride to the Panthers? I really like both he and Hardy. I'm very intrigued by the idea of McBride and Kelvin outside with Funchess in the slot and Olsen at TE. So much potential.

Also agree with Panthro - an Oklahoma OT in the fourth would be awesome. Especially if we don't have to trade up. You could then grab that next WR, a DE, and an RB in the fifth.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
