Some folks will howl over this but, honestly, it will be hard for anyone to crack into our WR roster this season. We may not have the names, but we're just coming off of a 15-1 regular season and a Superb Owl appearance. That year was built on the backs of our no-names and cast offs receiving corps. 

These guys we have are good, better than the replacements out there and they play hard. With KB coming back, you'd have a hard time pinning someone in higher than WR5.

And most of these players are still young guys with a lot of tread left on their tires.

Mehhhh. I dont want another tall, big bodied possession type guy. If we draft a wr he needs to be a sure handed, deep threat that can play the slot also.

He's much more than that. This guy is a legitimate playmaker and a perfect slot guy for our offense. Yes, he's not fast (4.61) but he's already a great route runner. This means he can play immediately for us. Boyd is aver real possibility for us in the 2nd round.

He did a 4.5 at his pro-day. After drops this year, we need sure hands

IN OUR VIEW: A graceful athlete, he trusts his hands and uses quick eyes to snatch and immediately analyze his surroundings, but his body size does lead to durability concerns, especially over the middle. Despite average measureables, Boyd is an exquisite catcher of the football and able to stand out by paying attention to the details, putting his value in the top 50 range. His ideal NFL fit is in the slot in a Jarvis Landry-type role.

Sterling Shepard 2ND round  . Get either DE /saftey/ CB in the 1st,  and get a dude that can catch and run good routes in the 2nd .

Name the top slot receivers that are the teams deep threats.

Speed goes outside to stretch the field.

We had the best team in the NFL last year, but one of the worst WR corps.  Has just a few months of no football made most of you forget this?  Don't y'all remember drop after drop after drop?  A contributing factor to our SB loss was dropped balls and our WRs' inability to beat single coverage.  It allowed Denver to blitz with almost reckless abandon.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.
