Opinion: with Short signed, WR time in this draft

With this signing, it looks like The Dline has been solidified for a few years (have to replace Pep in a year or two and maybe CJ, future issues). Most draft wizards have us looking at WR in the late 2nd to 3rd round, or even later. Is it  time to finally get that guy who can take this passing game to the next level or should they look in the later rounds. Thoughts please.

If the staff thought WR was a concern, I feel like they would have sniggered around Corey Davis or Mike Williams more, especially since they will be there at #8 by all accounts.

I'm not thrilled with the guys we have brought in for visits/workouts. I think they are targeting WRs in with one of their 2nd round picks. Based on who we brought in that basically means Chris Godwin, Zay Jones, and Carlos Henderson. Everyone else is basically projected in the late round or UDFA.

Problem is we have noone to groom at DE, save Larry Webster and Ryan Delaire. CJ, Addison, and Pep are pretty long in the tooth.  I could see us drafting a project guy later (Tanoh). Only way I see us going D-line in the first would be for Thomas, if he somehow fell. Other than that, 8 will be used on LF7, OJ, or Christian Mac IMO. 

As far as WR goes, I'm thinking our 1st second round pick will be used on Zay Jones or Obi if we don't package picks to back into the latter part of the draft. 

"Offense needs to evolve" 

"Shula pleaded for another TE last year, noting that teams had figured the scheme out" . 

1st: OJ

2nd: Obi 

3rd: Godwin/Henderson

4th: Tanoh 

5, 6, and 7 packaged to move back in the 4th: BPA Oline.

Draft Over

So many option Noone knows where Gman could go or end up..

It's looking like they are concerned with a slot guy, but they don't seem too pressed to get the flavors of the day. Either they're not believing the hype, or they figure they can acquire better value in rounds two and/or three.

Zay Jones got tons of production against arguably inferior talent (like Davis), but his TD totals are surprisingly low. For the third time, I will say that Godwin could turn out to be just as good as any receiver in this draft. He really could emerge as the best in the class. Henderson may be sneaky good as well.

I'm fine with who they've brought in. Just surprised that Davis hasn't been here.

Godwin is growing on me. It's a flip of a coin right now between him and Henderson for me in the 2nd.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
