Early thoughts on the WR corps...

I don't want an upgraded Philly Brown, if we're setting Shepard up as a slot receiver (#3), then I'd rather see us keep Byrd in that 5th spot. Three year deal or not on Shepard it can't be anything that would be detrimental if he were cut. 

So for me if we keep five receivers I'd rather see:

KB / Funch / Samuel / Johnson / Byrd

However I think we carry six receivers, and Shepard is the 6th guy. To me Byrd, and Johnson have more upside and big play ability. Shepard is just another possession guy to me with better size than Philly.

Russell Shepard has a ton of potential as a wideout. I already went over that a while ago in here:

Even so, he's a guaranteed lock with his amazing ST play. He's a ST ace (like an actual really good ace) and a team captain in that area. Brings a bunch of mojo to the team that they need.

    • Wide Receiver: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers – 85.3 One of the more shocking developments of the 2025 NFL season has been the Carolina Panthers’ ascension to the top of the NFC South, which they achieved with Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. Perhaps nobody has made a bigger difference than former eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, who continued to be a steady presence in the Panthers’ offense. McMillan caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win Tight End: Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers – 91.1 Evans only saw the field for 16 snaps, but he was efficient in his limited playing time. He caught all three of his targets for 23 yards on just six receiving snaps while also grading well in pass protection (72.2 grade) and as a run-blocker (68.4) Edge Defender: Nic Scourton, Carolina Panthers – 77.9 The former second-rounder out of Texas A&M has been a force along the Panthers’ defensive line, and he was a key contributor in Carolina’s huge win over the Buccaneers. Scourton recorded two stops as a run-defender and added another while in coverage. Scourton also tallied his sixth sack of the year while contributing another pressure to the mix Safety: Lathan Ransom, Carolina Panthers – 75.7 Another Carolina Panther on this week’s list, Ransom has typically been stronger in run defense — he carries an 85.2 grade in that field on the season. But Sunday against the Buccaneers was his best day in coverage. Ransom intercepted his only target, which wound up being the game-winner that put the Panthers in the driver’s seat in the NFC South
