We NEED a consistent #2/slot receiver so with Smith & Muhammad coming back I think either would be a good 3rd-4th rd pick with value since they are serviceable as returners. What do you guys think? We may bring Jarrett back after his performance this sunday but if he is released we could go after a bigger name but I'm not too high on taking a WR with our first pick in the 2nd round.

What exactly is wrong with Goodson and Kenny Moore being used in these capacities? Or even Stewart w/ DWill at halfback.

I'm all for getting a dynamic receiver like a Welker...but we've seen the play calling with regard to skill positions like WR/QB/RB from this coach. I don't know that we don't already have a skilled WR.

I agree if they can prove themselves capable in the offseason.

Problem is...do we not test them when it matters (regular season) until it's too late next year. We draft prior to training camp. The scouts have to be given marching orders. I don't know enough about what potential we have to make a decision and how they'd respond in real games. Fox has proven one thing...he'll make a decision DESPITE how players respond in real games.

I think they'll pretty much have to try out Goodson as a hybrid through camp, seeing as Sutton looks like he's got the #3 RB slot locked.

Moore will be in play for the #3/#4. They'll let Jackson try to shine in camp, too.

Smith has already said he's wanting to have a #1 brought in so he can tear it up underneath. I think we draft a WR pretty high, as none of the other guys mentioned is in any way a #1.

Outside of Dez Bryant...who's another #1 without going FA. And even going FA, who would be a solid #1.

Not even going to touch the draft possibilities right now.

In FA, the only realistic possibles for a #1 that I see are Marshall (headcase, would take a bunch to acquire him, zero chance we even try) and Bryant (some injury worries, tends to complain some). Bryant and Tampa make come to a deal, but it doesn't look likely right now.

I'd love to take a flier on Bryant, personally. When the guy is on and healthy, he's a beast. Let him mostly be your deep threat, let Smith be the Terminator version of Welker. He's the best YAC receiver in football and would show it.

Steve Smith look-a-like Golden Tate. Also, many believe Dez Bryant will slip due to off-the-field issues. Maybe we trade up to early 2nd round?

I hope not. I'm crossing my fingers that Fox/Hurney have a very short leash on draft trades this year with all the uncertainty as to their future. They've made a "win now" move two years running and haven't.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
