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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
