Who is the best speedster we could get at 8?

Corey Davis should definitely be under consideration.  Most complete WR in the draft, great speed and YAC, and ran the whole route tree in college.  He's also very productive on the nine route.  Read Matt Harmon's write up and I think you'll be intrigued by the prospect of Davis @ #8.

Every year there is an overhyped player that ends up falling dramatically. This year it is Corey Davis.

I've always felt he'd be picked in the 20s, and still think that. Doubt he falls much further than that but he's not a top 15 pick. Has the upside to be a legit #1 though. Not like a top 5 in the league Julio Jones type player but a solid weapon like a Jeremy Maclin. 

Jeremy, obviously WR is out of play at 8, but is there a possibility we traded up into the late first for a wideout? They seem to like Ross, but won't reach for him of course. I hope we don't unless we're confident he could step in as our best wideout, but feel like it's a possibility. If you could provide some insight that'd be great.

Also, what about Fournette at 8 and trading up into the first for a top DE that could slip? (Barnett, Taco, etc.)

I think it might be Derek Barnett even though I do like him.

I could see one of the heavily hyped QBs slipping too. I can't see Watson, Trubisky, and Kizer all going in the 1st round.

Barnett could have an impact here  like Hardy did in 2013, in pass rushing, run defense and dropping back into coverage. Would love to snag him if he falls.

The level of competiton is my reservation with Davis, but these clips are ridiculous.  It will be interesting to see how much of this he can do against NFL talent.

I don't think he's going to fail, but I'm not sure he's worth a top 10 pick.  I'd personally put Fournette in that same category.

Outside of level of competition I don't what else anyone could ask for. Great route runner, good speed and amazing hands and concentration to make catches in traffic. Also has toughness and agility to create yards after the catch.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
