Who is it going to be?

Here is a pretty nice list for anyone interested in the top 50 or so wide receivers in the draft. I think it's more plausible we get a WR than one in FA for obvious reasons. So here are the (according to author but I think its pretty good) top 50 or so prospects HERE.

I don't think we have a shot at anyone that seems special right now. What I want to know is does anyone have a list of teams that will most likely draft a WR before the Panthers? I want to be able to try and narrow down to a few of these guys...

might draft a WR before us:

dolphins(MIGHT)

broncos

ravens

bengals

packers(BIG Maybe if Driver retires)

patriots(IF Moss is traded/released, which I doubt)

texans(IF Walter is not re-signed)

the best WR available if all these teams draft one is probably jordan shipley or andre roberts

So three mights and four even smaller mights? Theres still a chance! lol

Jordan Shipley isn't going anywhere in the Second. And rightly so. He's not much more than a slot receiver, isn't gonna do anything to take pressure off of Smith.

Also, I stil say we wait for andre Roberts in the 3rd. Unless Arrelious Benn falls to us in the Second. Then it's a different story.

Trindon Holliday of LSU. He's only 5-5 and 161 of so, but he's probably the fastest player at the combine at a 4.25ish 40, and can return kicks like a beast. Very similar to early Smitty in my eyes. He could be a steal in the 5th/6th.

Another guy similar is Brandon Banks of K-State. 5-7, 155. 4.29 40 time. Probably the best kick returner in the nation last season.

yeah I have him in the 6th round in my mock, we could keep him as a 5th WR or a RB. He was a RB in college. He would be an exclusive special teams guy for a while though, be really hard for him to get on the offense.

I think Gilyard will be a better NFL returner he's a lot more agile. Holiday runs pretty out of control even though he's incredibly fast. The holes aren't going to be nearly as big in the NFL and he'll need to work on his cuts. I'd still love to get him though.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
