Rondale Moore is the size of Smitty, plays like Smitty, has that dog in him, and is unbelievable with the ball in his hands. At his size he squats over 600 lbs, and is expected to run low 4.3's. A guy moving that fast, with that kind of shiftiness, and that much power in his legs is a nightmare to tackle.

Speaking of another Moore, Elijah Moore of Ole Miss is another Slot to watch. He can run all routes, has exceptional quickness, and creates separation. Here are options I really like on this very deep draft. This excludes obvious 1st round WR.

Slot options:

Rondale Moore, Elijah Moore, Dwayne Eskridge, Amon St. Brown, Tutu Atwell, Amari Rodgers, Shi Smith, Dazz Newsome, Demetrick Felton

Outside WR to move DJ to slot:

Terrance Marshall, Tylan Wallace, Josh Palmer, Dyami Brown

I love this player, but a day 1 or 2 pick for a slot WR when we need a LT and CB early is going to be tough.

I have been looking for this kind of player doing some bottom fishing--there are some good slot options this year that makes CurSam expendable.  One that I like TheProcess does not mention, could be there late day 3:

Unfortunately with the need to rebuild a oline, fix secondary issues, a field general at MLB, three technique pass rusher and that pesky franchise QB problem we have to put some things on the backburner.  Fact is even if we have a A plus perfect draft we still not fill all the needs.  So yeah WR is a luxury but if you view the rebuild as a longer term situation I'm not against a high upside WR.

These receivers are good, but we need to concentrate on the areas of real need:  QB, OL, LB, CB

WR2-3 is well down the list.

I agree 100%, but if he falls to the third round like Smitty did in 2001, and the choice was between a mediocre CB and a game breaker, it would be hard to not take him.

If we sign a free agent QB and grab a LT in the first round, and even though we need a CB and a LB, how do you pass on the player if you think he is the next Smitty?

BPA?

I don't see us picking up a WR before the fourth round unless someone inexplicably slides to the point where the value is just overwhelming.

I don't believe the NFL has fully comprehended the actual impact of what they've been doing over the past 10 years making it more and more difficult to defend a WR.  It's clearly made the discrepancy between an elite QB and a good QB much more obvious, and the difference between having a good QB and not having one even more obvious.

Effectively, by changing the rules to allow more WR play, they've elevated the QB position to the point where you just can't compete without a really good one.

I think the NFL know exactly what they've done. Their intent was to drive up scoring and that is exactly what has happened.  The prolific statistics we see every year are a result tilting the game in favor of the offense. During the 1977 season Drew Pearson led the league in receiving with 870. He's the last guy to win the crown with less than 1,000.

Some of us old school guys like a good defensive slug fest. The general public...not so much. Most casual fans I spoke with after the last Rams/Pats Super Bowl absolutely HATED that game. They thought it was boring. The Eagles/Pats 41-33 game more to their (and the NFL's liking). With even female fans hooked on fantasy football things will never go back to the old days. If defenses EVER get an advantage, the rules committee will find a way to negate it.

I am surprised that QB is so bad at times. The league has made it so much easier to throw the ball these days.

We need a TE so much more than we need another WR. We need o-line more than anything, TE included.

 

This does not get enough run on this board.  Our TEs were abysmal.  Now everyone wants to talk about TB checking down, and I got frustrated too, but between the WR and the checkdown should be a TE--and we were without.  A dual threat TE would solve a lot of problems.

I think Goodell wanted to promote a high scoring game in Europe, where Soccer and the 0-0 tie is a thing.

I think Hunter Long will be there in the 4th and we should snap him up.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
