It isn't over at wide receiver....

Read at your own discretion. I don't want to ruin the exciting offseason for you. 

The Carolina Panthers won't sign another significant veteran receiver. They may sign camp bodies, but no one that will be on the final roster. Russell Shepard will not be released until after the draft. He is now playing the role of insurance just in case the Panthers can't manage to get an acceptable receiver in rounds 1 or 2. When the Panthers do manage to get a receiver, he will be released. 

I suspect DJ Moore is on the radar as he would be able to contribute everywhere immediately. In the slot or on the outside. Kid can do anything the Panthers need. I do feel round two is more likely than round 1, and a possible trade up in that situation. The first half of round two looks to be a sweet spot for receivers.

 

Love,

I am beginning to think that we may not have any thirds after all is said and done (between the draft and/or free agency). 

James or Chubb in the first. I'm thinking James is gone by 24.

Moore in the second. 

Hell,  it seems like we're kind of on the same wavelength as far as Marty making some moves for Moore. 

 

Hell, if Marty gets too crazy,  we won't have a full set of picks next year.

Peppers, safety and a DE in the draft.

There really are no good 4-3 options likely available to us in the draft. I'm thinking we almost have to take a hard look at Curry once the Eagles do what they have to do.  Safety is a mystery. @SIGCHI222 is talking kinda funny about Pep by saying "nothing," so whatever that means...

How much do you think he will demand?

At this point,  I don't know.  Evans just got paid a lot,  and Torrey Smith is still getting paid 5 mil per (which if you look at receivers' salaries is cheap). I would think around 7 mil.

I really don’t see Moore making it to our second round pick. He could go round one after his combine performance. 

You could be right.  But then you have to start looking at specifics.  Which team will actually take him,  and are they really going to take him before Ridley,  Kirk,  and big boy (I forget his name)? 

And,  do you believe that if Hurney is looking at Chubb or Moore that he's really going to forego Chubb?

My thinking is that he’s a consensus top 5 WR in the draft. The chances of a top 5 WR being there at 55 are low. 

He measured at the combine taller, faster, stronger than expected. His stock is rising fast.

WR FA is over. We are now short a CB, SS, DE, DT, RB, & OG. TD, & Kalil are retiring, Adam is not far away, & Luke still has his concussion issues. Torrey can be a good addition, but at a bad price. Hurney said, "We need to get younger, & faster". Torrey is 29, so that backfired. Hurney said he has learned from his past mistakes, but I don't believe he was referring to paying too much for veteran (OLD) talent. I am afraid the new owner will have to slap some sense into this organization.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
