Gonna sound like a hypocrite here, but that has never stopped me before.

I see Corley with a third-round grade, so he seems a bit high here.  I think at least 6 WRs go in round 1-- (here it comes) HOWEVER, I see him as an excellent fit here, considering they are building an offense around Bryce Young.  Corley is the best YAC guy in the draft, and reverses, WR screens, quick hitters, etc. will need to be a big part of our offense.  However, we did not have a TE or WR who was built for that kind of thing--Laviska was who they tried to convert to that role, but he spent the year on IR.

I think Corley will be a Panther, taken with pick 101 with some form of a trade up.  I think, depending on free agency, we could draft 2 WRs.

Of course there will be trades, but I see (and this will anger some people if it comes true):

33. Legette (I think he will fall to us at #33)

65.  A CB

101.  Corley

I am not thinking TE because I think the draft is not that deep at TE.  I expect a free agent, or maybe the new system will promote Tremble more and help Hurst return to form.

Not sure what we are doing with the OL, so I hate to pick one.  BC at LG?  Is Corbett all better?  Can Icky learn LT?  Is Moton's contract going to send him packing?  Can Bozeman get it together?

If we end up with Leggette and Corley I will be ecstatic

I'm a fan of the draft, yet not being deep enough into the process of evaluation.  I do enjoy this time of year (since we suck), and this year looks to be a deep WR draft according to the draftniks.

I've seen some stuff about Legette that makes him sound like a faster Mingo.  Would that be accurate?  Considering the "struggles" of Mingo this year, is that a good idea?  Since y'all are higher on Legette, what makes you higher on him?

I've seen reports so far that Malik Washington has been dominant at the Shrine Bowl as well as positive reports for Roman Wilson and Ladd McConkey at the fist practice at the Senior Bowl. Tez Walker clocked as the fastest player at Senior Bowl too.

Very possible, but then I remember this is pre-Sr Bowl January, and so much will change between now and late April---still, it could happen, the draft is so loaded at WR, something will fall to us.  This is a great draft to get 2 WRs.  I do not think free agency will be the way to go, based on what I think will be there.  Imagine Thielen, Mingo, Leggette, Corley, Smith-Marssette, and UFA Laviska Shenault.  Shenault did not play in 2023 and was not a force in 2022.  However, in Jax in 2020 and 2021 he averaged over 600 yards per season.  His style fits what they say they are going to do with Bryce--so I think he could be the free agent we sign on the the cheap.  TMJ needs to leave, but they could decide to see how he does with Canales.

Yes, with the OL getting healthy, a young group of WRs,  I also think we need a CB. 

I'd be very happy with the 2 WRs, a CB and then draft BPA the rest of the way.

My son went to UNC, but I do not care where a player went to college when I look at pro potential.  I think Tez is a bit of a mystery, a sleeper, who could be very effective in the NFL.  We sure do have a lot of Charlotte area boys (High School) in the draft. 

 

Malik Washington had 10 games over 100 yards receiving in 2023.  Not too shabby.

with this WR class being so deep, I've read a team can great value in rds 3-4.  I was our first pick to be WR, and I'm not against another WR later.  All we know we have is Thielen, and he's short term.  

Also, this apparently a good TE class, so if we can't find one at the right spot, 2 wrs makes even more sense.  We need help everywhere, but getting Bryce weapons is the priority in this draft.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
