I'd prefer to find WR in FA. Watkins, Wallace, Moncrief, Robinson, Lee, Richardson... We have a lot of young upside WRs, I don't think the priority should be adding another. Give me a proven guy or two in FA. We have zero youth and zero upside at safety and DE. Safety or DE should be priority in draft. Though I would love to have Calvin Ridley if he's there at 24. Don't think he will be ultimately, and don't want to trade up.

Agreed 100% with everything up until the bolded portion. He looked like a JAG tonight. If he's there at 24 I'd be fine with considering him, but I wouldn't give up anything to move up for him. It scares me when players don't improve throughout their college career and he not only didn't improve but he had his best season as a freshman. 

After reading so many of y'all rave about him I was looking forward to watching him a little closer and came away like

indeed. Looks like a solid WR but hes not some otherworldy talent worth trading the farm for

if anything i might trade one of our 3rds to move up a couple or 3 slots to snag Christian Kirk and make sure Buffalo dont punk us again like they did with Zay Jones last year. 

Julio didn't have gaudy stats either, Ridley actually has better stats in college than Julio. Alabama is a RUN first squad, people forget that. The dude seriously has no weaknesses and Hurts could have had him on 2 passes back to back. Early in the game, didn't see him wide open over the middle of the field and the fade pass sucked. We'll see what he does leading up to the draft but Cooper has gone on record to say Ridley was a better prospect than himself as a freshman. He's worth the farm in my honest opinion.

My post said I would not trade up for him.

I think Ridley, Sutton , and Kirk will be gone by pick 24. Bears NEED a WR hella bad. 

I think its a little early for the 'gone by pick' talk. Doesn't the board change quite a bit over the all star games, combine and pro days?

He reminds you of 2 totally different players? That’s weird 

Not in style of course, what I was getting at is that they both exhibited a very aggressive style with strong hand-catching in college.  I like spotting the receivers that have that get-to-the-ball mentality.   Cam needs that type of receiver, not the body catchers that run 3 routes in college.  Not saying the guys who get asked very little of can't succeed because they do if they're talented and have the know-how, but if we get a rookie receiver, I want an aggressive catcher with a refined route tree.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
