I know people want to temper their 2nd year expectations for Brown but now with Funchess, I really think Brown has the best shot out of Ginn, Cotchery, Boykin, and Hill to be the slot-type #3.

I'm not so sure on that. Rivera and DG talked Boykin way up after acquiring him. He was the reason we didn't look for another #2 in FA. That's coming straight from them.

Oh he can make the team but they've talked everyone up.  Heck, I'm a Hokie and want him to be good for us. 

 

For our 3 WR sets, I think trotting out KB-Funchess-Brown could be effective.  Or maybe KB-Funchess-Ginn.  Actually now that I think of it, Ginn decoying to alleviate focus on the 2 & Olsen could prove to be very nice as well.  But then again, Cotchery may still be a factor.  Hard depth chart to project honestly. 

 

Thinking Bersin and Hill could be on the outside looking in but we'll see how thing roll out eventually.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
