Would Mike Williams be wasted in Carolina?

So let's say the Panthers draft Mike Williams. Would he improve the Panthers offense all that much?

If yiu believe the Panthers lack receiver talent, I suspect you do think he would improve things.

If you suspect the scheme and coaching are lacking, I suspect you don't think so.

Which side are you on?

Physically, he doesn't provide anything that we don't already have between Benji and Funchess. Honestly I don't even care what 40 time he runs in a couple months; when I watch Williams, I don't see the explosion vertically that is needed to be a top 10 guy.

Potentially he might provide more consistency, but you can't be sure of that with any rookie.

Our receivers are not the problem with this team. Scheme, along with consistent line play are the issue. Williams is a wasted pick unless Benji is moved for a tackle...and trades rarely happen like that.

Waste. This is cart before horse type of poo. Cam can't pass the ball to Williams if he has been driven so deeply into the ground that they need fuging radar to find his body. Fix the O-line. You know...so the franchise qb it took almost 2 decades to find doesn't die.

Would be one of the most disappointing moments in franchise history.  Sucking does have it's perks.  Netted Cam.  Netted Luke.  But this was a Super Bowl or bust season.  We recently took Benjamin and Funchess high.  There are better players at multiple positions of greater need.  This guy is not Julio Jones or AJ Green.  It would be a knife twister for me and beg the question of who or what our identity is as a franchise.  HELL no to a WR at 8.

KB should already be playing like Mike Williams. However, I do believe his injury set him back and it may take this offseason to be back on track. Also, I have not seen enough of the right type of plays to maximize his advantages. Where's the back shoulder throws? Where's the lobs to the corner where KB can outreach his defender for a TD? 

Basically, drafting Williams gives us yet another receiver that relies more on size when we need separation.

      It's going to take time to really evaluate new ownership. I still have some hopes that they can get us past the curse of the Jordan years. We got screwed over by the league with the lottery yet again, nothing in this draft was ever going to make people happy after that happened.

      The Hornets were screwed when they lost out on the #1 pick. Outside of Cooper Flagg this was a terrible draft class full of risky prospects and red flags. Kon Knueppel likely won't ever be a superstar - or even a star, realistically - but he can be a solid contributor for a long time in the league. That's actually more than I think will end up being the case for many of these players.

      I guess we should disregard what all these places say about our draft? And just trust you guys on this board? And as far as the Mark Williams trade, most places are saying we got the much better end of that trade for what its worth to yall. Bleacher report has Kon a "B", BR has him C+, Fansided A-, NBC Sports overall draft an A-, Sports Illustrated overall A-, MSN has Kon a B+, Yahoo Sports has us at an A- overall. Here is what ESPN posted:  Post-Draft Analysis Knueppel's well-rounded perimeter game and terrific 3-point shooting ultimately won out in Charlotte's decision process, with the Hornets attracted to his fit with their current roster and his long-term potential. He should help stabilize their perimeter minutes immediately, with his dependability all season at Duke a major selling point. The Hornets were thought to be exploring moves here, but were content to simply grab their guy and move forward. This is a strong match that should pay off right away for both sides. -- Jeremy Woo
