Deep WR class

I am tired of swimming against the current of the draft classes. Last couple year were deep as hell for interior OL and we selected none except maybe Daley. 
This years WR class is so deep.  Here is what the draft network has to say 

TO EVERY TEAM: DRAFT A WIDE RECEIVER THIS YEAR

I don't care if your team has a primary wide receiver need, a secondary wide receiver need or doesn't have a wide receiver sneed at all, every team in the NFL should draft a receiver from this draft class. This class is that good. I might not be ready to say it's "better" than the 2014 class, but I am comfortable saying it is the deepest class I have ever scouted.

Collin Johnson, K.J. Hill, Van Jefferson, Michael Pittman Jr. and Denzel Mims all looked like players who could instantly contribute on NFL team this year; while Tyrie Cleveland, Quartney Davis, Chase Claypool, Antonio Gandy-Golden and James Proche all looked like they had the potential to be contributors too. And those are just the names in Mobile.

From Rounds 1-7, you can find a receiver in this class. The Senior Bowl proved just how deep this class is.

 

 

I would not mind a later round (5-7) for a larger red zone threat like Mims, Claypool, or Golden. 
But adding KJ Hill to the mix might give Brady’s offense a video game feel.  But he would require a higher pick and we have so many holes.  

What round do you want one and who do you want?

I'm on the CeeDee Lamb bandwagon. It's like having another taller DJ who is a tackle breaker, beast of a blocker, YAC savant. Those two together would absolutely beast. I see Jeudy and Lamb as 1a1b because either one would raise the level of this offense significantly.

Actually Lamb and DJ brings to mind Moose and Smitty. Both YAC guys.

Seriously, I think they are all top-40ish talent compared to drafts of years past.  That's 14.  14!

The funny thing is the draft was deep at really good wife receivers this past year.   
 

somehow we drafted another turd.

our whole draft this past year was turds actually.  Burns is Everette Brown 2.0, Miller hasn’t arrived, Little is on the field little.

Daley was probably our only hopeful draft pick. 
 

so what makes anyone think that we can draft a wide receiver outside the first round?

We need WR3 in this draft.  I'm still not completely sold on Curtis, but imagine if DJ got hurt ala Benjamin.  This is the draft to do it.  I could understand the right guy being there in Rd 3, but I'd love to find great value in 4 or 5.  Also wouldn't mind double dipping in the 6th or 7th to get a big red zone target if our first WR pick isn't very tall.

I wouldn't be opposed to a WR, but a day 3 selection only.  Frankly, we would get better production out of second tier FA.  I wouldn't mind giving Hogan another shot due to his season being injury-shortened.   Developing a rookie WR3 largely from the sidelines is pretty hard.  Besides, we have MUCH bigger fish to fry.

Stopped reading after Burns is Everette Brown 2.0.

A WR2 would be even better. I'm just not sure Samuel is ever going to develop into a true starting outside WR.

Curtis was brought here to take the top off defenses.  Until we get a QB that has an accurate deep ball and an OL to allow that kind of time, Curtis is going to seem misappropriated. I see him taking a Ted Ginn Jr. path, but not nearly as long to develop.  If we could ever get the long ball game going again, Samuel will feast.  My only apprehension is we will lose him in FA and he goes to a team like KC and becomes a beast.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
