Quinten Johnston is a 6’4 WR that runs a 4.4 and is drawing comparisons to Calvin Johnson lite, runs great routes, plays to his size and is considered a bonafide first rounder. Him paired with DJ Moore would go together like Peanut butter and chocolate, they would compliment each other perfectly plus finally giving us that big bodied red zone target we haven’t had since Olsen or even Benjamin (during his 1000 yd season that is)

.

 

 

I agree that the Panthers need a  # 1 / # 2 WR to pair with D.J. Moore and Quinten Johnson is my choice as the Panther # 1 draft selection.

The top 2 or 3 QB's will probably be off the board when the Panthers draft, so they could probably trade back a few spots in the draft order, pick up another draft choice and still be able to select Quinten Johnson.. 

Quinten Johnson :

So far in 2022, Johnston has 38 receptions for 574 yards and three touchdowns.

He flashed in 2021, catching 33 passes for 612 yards and six touchdowns. Sources from around the NFL are high on his skill set.

"He's 6-foot-4, 215 pounds and can win on all three levels. He puts up 20 yards per catch, runs great routes, is super smart, an alpha, and the hardest worker on the team," according to pro scouts.

While Johnston still has more to prove with pro evaluators, they are high on him across the board. He could end up being the top receiver prospect for the 2023 NFL Draft.

We seem to go through this all the time. If the pick is a QB, it should be Young or Stroud. That's it--that's the list.

Many of us have a Weber or some other kind of smoker--how many of you know of someone else who loudly claims that their homemade smoker made from a old drum is better at ribs than your "overpriced" smoker? They have pride in turning something from nothing--which I understand--and sometimes they can turn out to be better cookers but it's rare and totally dependent on the skills of the person making and using them.

The Huddle seems overpopulated with these drum smoker makers...when there's already high-quality smokers out there.

If Carolina is at the top of the draft, take Young (my preference) or Stroud. Don't get too cute with manufacturing a case for anyone else--Hooker, Duggan, Levis, or whoever else.

He does NFL things. Off platform. Improvisation. Natural feel in the pocket. Consistent accuracy. 
 

He’s better value in the 2nd that any QB in the first unless Bryce has a growth spurt in him. 
 

 

I am not sure what you are watching but there is almost no elite NFL ability in that video.

The very first throw (and third) show his consistent big issue--sailing the short and intermediates.  His accuracy on quick throws can be a bit erratic which is probably why whispers aren't being made about him being a R1 talent.  You have to nail that stuff down pat as a QB going into the NFL.  

Though that throw at the :20 mark..wow.  And he does well at extending plays and working with his guy post-route.  

He's a R2-4ish type imho.  Better than Duggan though.  edit--Reminds me of how people were looking at James Morgan in his draft some years back.  Checks out on paper, great measurables, a bit of that QB gene, great numbers, but you need that extra kick of something that shows you have a high ceiling to warrant a high pick.  He's just kind of like a lot of these mid rounders we've seen.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
