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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone and we have Taylor Moton inked to a recent extension. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
