This SI article contemplates who will emerge as our #3 WR. The options they explored were David Moore, Shi Smith, and Terrence Marshall. I like both of the Rookies and they both have talent, albeit very different skill sets. David Moore has shown the ability to make plays and get behind defenses though. Who do you guys think will be our 3rd best receiver this year. One of these guys or maybe someone else like Omar Bayless or Brandon Zylstra?

I think we will be surprised by Robby filling the slot role.  DJ and Terrace could end up being the outside guys while Anderson (still a WR1/2) spends time in the slot.  
 

Not because we think he’s less than DJ and Terrace but because of the mismatches he creates.

Just an idea.

And the answer is Terrace Marshall lol.

With his size and hands he could be something. I hope he is healthy and proves the team right for selecting him. A lot folks wanted a LT in the 2nd. Thanks for the spell check!

It will be a disappointment if he doesn't easily win that #3 spot. That could have been a starting OL selection.

He's another offseason addition that has big injury flags. We just need him to stay healthy more than anything.

I’m not sure they are “big” flags but they are a concern for sure.

Marshall has loads of talent and experience in Brady's system. I think the later is the major reason we didn't see much of him in OTAs and mini-camp. They are really taking it slow because of his injury and hoping the time he misses on the field won't impact him too negatively since he is familiar with Brady's system. 

I think Shi Smith may surprise though. I like him a lot.

Big is probably overstating it. That indicates serious injury concerns.

More like he was injury prone in college, which is concerning at the NFL level.

Agreed… I’m hoping he goes the Frank Gore route and was injured a lot in college, then is an NFL bastion of health.  A guy can dream, right?

 

If Marshall shows out on the outside I think it’d be the best case scenario.  Robby seems to really like the slot based on how giddy he basically was talking about it in a recent interview.

As long as we get a good #3, I don't have a preference for who wins out. Terrace kind of needs to work out, though. Especially if our OL struggles again this year.

I was definitely in the camp where I thought 2-3 of our first 4 picks should have been OL.

Yeah and I meant our #3 WR more so than I mean working out of the slot.

Obviously, we all expect DJ and Robby to getting the bulk of the looks, no matter where they line up.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
