NFC personnel director not impressed with WR class

As one who is a little skeptical of the WR class, I can say that I am not surprised that an unnamed personnel director has referred to this WR class as "a bad group."

"It's just a bad group," the director said, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "There's not one sure thing."

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000654976/article/nfc-personnel-director-says-drafts-wr-class-a-bad-group

Now the good thing is that we are probably in pretty good shape with what we already have if this guy's opinion turns out to be true. I mean it's not like we need a consensus WR1 as much as we need a playmaker with exceptional hands. Furthermore, if there is some legitimate talent to be found, if anybody can identify it, Gettleman and company can. 

And lastly, some of you might really want to rethink Hunter Henry. As unbelievable as it may seem, he could turn out to be the surest wideout in this class. At the very least, he could be just what the doctor ordered for our offense.

This guy sounds like a few of our own Huddlerz. Some on here pretty much think the whole draft class is poo.

 

Whereas, there are a few of us who truly believe there is talent in this draft. Maybe not sure fire All Pro talent. But you still need talented kids to compete.

 

Anyway. Thanks for a thread that isn't about Josh.

Treadwell at 30 would be a dream come true.

I just don't see it happening, but anything is possible. 

I just wonder if Dave would have him ranked ahead of Hunter Henry, especially considering that we already have KB and Funch.

Honestly, Shephard is the closest thing to a sure thing in this draft, in my opinion.  The only other I'd consider giving that label to is Doctson.  I think Treadwell has a VERY high chance of being very good, but he could also be another Dwayne Jarrett or Brandon Lafell.  Worth the gamble imo, though.  Coleman has a high chance of being another Brandin Cooks, Tavon Austin, etc etc etc, imo.  I'd still take him at 30, but not if I was a team in the top 20 though.

Funch isn't anything like Treadwell. Funch belongs in the slot. With Treadwell, Funch and KB and then Philly/Ginn as situational players our receiver group would be tremendous. Treadwell's going to be like Dez Bryant. If he falls to us he will almost certainly be BPA. But I don't see him falling. Henry's solid but is more of a 35-50 prospect, in my opinion. Treadwell's top 15 on my board. I would be DG has Treadwell above him but who knows. I'm no expert, just a dumb fan like everyone else here.

Cooks had over 1100 yards last season.  He's really good.

Agreed on Shepard though.

huh, I didn't know that.  I just knew every time I've seen him play he hasn't looked good.  I think a Jimmy Grahamless, old Colston, and no other receiving targets in a passing game stat inflating system might have a little to do with those 1100 yards though.  They've had a few nobody WRs these past few years putting up solid stats.  1100 is impressive though, won't deny it.

i mean the #1 guy in the Ole Miss MF I like but im not blown away by..

 

 

good thing we have a bonified #1 beast and another closer to 6'5 than 6'4 beast younger than me bout to beast out the #2..  seems like the perfect draft to get our #3 in the mid rounds..  if not, i like PhillyB.     not the alchohol phillyB, the football phillyB

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.

      I was just dispelling the "he can't throw past 25 yards" focus jfra.
