Round 1: Corey Coleman WR – Baylor

Wide receiver isn’t a top need in Carolina but the closer and closer it gets to draft day and the likelihood that General Manager Dave Gettleman will go with the best player available makes it an increasing possibility. A fair amount of the top receiver names should still be on the board at pick number 30 and if Corey Coleman is, the Panthers will land a major steal.

Coleman has been likened to a receiver that Carolina is all too familiar with in Steve Smith, and wouldn’t that be something. Coleman has the versatility to line up inside or out and is known for his blazing speed to take the top off of defenses. He has had issues with drops, which is something Carolina has overlooked with previously drafted receivers, and needs work as a route runner. But the thought of adding the next Steve Smith in the slot to an offense that already has Kelvin BenjaminGreg Olsen and Devin Funchess is downright terrifying.

 

Round 2: Derrick Henry RB – Alabama

 

 

Round 3: Harlan Miller CB – Southeastern Louisiana

 

 

Round 4: Sheldon Day DT – Notre Dame

 

 

Round 5: Ronald Blair DE – Appalachian St.

 

 

Round 7: Brandon Shell OT – South Carolina

Good lord if Coleman and Henry are available at their picks it is a no brainer. 

Hell yeah, I've been fighting D. Henry as our first pick from the start, but if by some miracle he's there at 62...DUH! 

Other than that, I don't really know anything about the others, and I doubt we draft more than 4 (maybe 3). G-man likes to trade in the mid rounds too much.

If Henry dropped to the middle of the 2nd, I could see Gettleman start talking trade to try and go up and get him.  I doubt he'd wait for him to drop all the way to us.

    • I don't believe this at all.
    • His PPG actually did go up a little in Colorado. We will see. I still sort of believe we saw pretty close to the peak of his abilities last year. Not wishing him ill or trashing him in any way. Just tend to believe we did sell high and correctly so.
    • Well, other teams also had an offseason. I honestly agree with him. Right now I have way more faith in Coker ascending then I do XL. I think it's the TE/WR group dragging us down. Plus he does mention that the list was made with WR's very much valued more than RB's and TE's(I understand the thought process). In that context, we have a very aging AT, two "wait and see" second year players(one leaning bust) and a rookie.  I really think this is a very fair rating, on paper and in the offseason. Quite frankly, aside from the aforementioned and aging AT, this is a bunch of guys still trying to prove themselves.  Then when you go to TE, it's easily a bottom 3-4 unit on paper. That is probably being extremely generous.  RB is where we make our hay. Probably a top 5-10 unit. But....he mentions early in the article that he doesn't value the RB units as much.  So, really, it's the weighting of the skill positions that is what really fugs us.
