Panthers invite UDFA WR, Dre Hall, to tryout

100% camp body. We already have too many WRs. I wish they’d cut Shepard already. 

It's too easy to default to "camp body."

You're most likely correct, but there are instances where UDFA WRs make teams. 

Hearns, Cole, Thielen, Golladay...to name a few. Snead should have made our roster.

Just saying. Hope springs eternal.

Technically speaking yes, but if this guy makes it then that’s real bad. He’s not making it due to skill level, he’s making it like Clay starting last year. It’s bad for us. We are way deeper at WR than we have been in years. Byrd appears to be #6 and he was better when he played than all but Funchess. 

You're being mighty presumptuous. If he makes it (which I already said is unlikely on the face of things), it will only be because of skill level, considering the talent that we have presumably acquired. Competition is the key, and not rhetorical "competition" like as has seemingly been the case for a good part of the Rivera era.

6'1, 190. Accolades in his conference FWIW. Camp body likely, but you never know

Couple points of clarification - Receiver Dre Hall has not officially signed a UDFA contract yet; my understanding is more of a rookie tryout situation next weekend. Reggie Bonnafon is currently seen by team as a running back.

Damn Juan. I'll edit title since it means so much.

Never thought I'd say this but.....no udfa wr scrub will play for this team this year

Byrd was a udfa, do you think we cut him? I'd say that he was on the bubble as our #6 WR, if we keep 6.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
