Would Corey Davis really be worth it? What is it that he excells at, he must be a great all around receivers that's nice I suppose. What we're really misssing is YOUNG SPEED in WR , if he doesnt have that we're better trading down a little to pick up John Ross or picking up DeDe Westbrook in the 2nd or 3rd round (debated whether either of them is the fastest one coming out of college this year, would love to have either of them).

I suppose if Davis is a really good all rounder that gets good YAC despite not being known for speed, then it'd be a good pick. I know we don't have a definite #1 receiver so there's that too, if he's good I don't see how it'll be too hard to beat out an aging Ginn and an inconsistent Funchess.

My top players right now probably :

1) Myles Garrett (you never know look what happened to Tunsil)

2)  Leonard Fournette

3)  Jamal Adams

4) John Ross

In my mind if you are the Panthers, you try your best not to reach with such a high pick. you have the entire rest of the draft at positions we are stacked at Linebacker, Defensive Tackle, and getting any DEs (not named Garrett) and any CBs that high is stupidity in my opinion.

I'll even take LF over Garrett.

I'd rather see us trade down and get Christian McCaffrey or grab an OT or DE in the first round and hope that McCaffrey is still available in the second.

Let me make my case for the young guy. He averaged 6.3 yards per rush, 8.4 yard per reception and handled kick off and punt return duties at the highest level of the game. He's coming out for the draft after his junior year with room to grow and develop, plus less wear and tear on his system.

He's smart and he's pretty much fearless. Could be the best return guy we've had since Smitty's early days. And he runs with a great flow.

I would  love a scenario where  we take Fournette with 8th pick , &  either move up  to get McCaffrey or grab him w/ a 2nd round if he falls.

His versatility is impressive &  he would improve the special teams immediately & give Cam a  Edelman like WR to work underneath. 

        - run precise routes, play slot, move in space, instincts, & 

        - Stretch, Zone, off-tackle, screens, 

 

1- RB:            Fournette

2- RB/WR:    Christian McCaffrey

2- TE:           Jordan Leggett (trade future & lower rd pick)

3- OT:           Chad Wheeler

5- SS:           Josh Harvey-Clemons

I'm on team Dalvin Cook. He's a home run hitter that can make plays out of nothing. He's like a mix of Lesean McCoy and Chris Johnson. He's not as shifty as McCoy and not as fast as Johnson, but that's how I see him.

exactly,he's a worse mccoy and a worse CJ. Don't want him at all. Most of his runs come off horrible horrible tackle attempts or just out running someone with a 4.7 40 time

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
