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.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.

      Haha!!! That's true. Also carry Tomahawks, ballistic missiles, fighter jets, VSTOL aircraft, etc., but none of them clog up the crappers.
