The Ladd McConkey thing is weird.  Not much production and doesn’t have size and doesn’t have literally anything that puts him in the first 4 rounds,  not seeing it.

I hope he runs 4.3 and goes before us…would help…but he won’t 

I think he was injured this year, but had good production. He’s 6ft but a bit thin. He’s very good at creating separation and getting open, so that’s the appeal to me. I would say that is the number one thing I look for. I’m done with contested catches type of guys. I think he is decently fast as well.

I have been looking into Xavier Worthy and guys like him kill me.  Common sense tells me these small speed guys rarely work out but that speed is so enticing.  
 

From the Athletic Mock Draft:

There are plenty of gifted wideouts that Carolina can snag here: Western Kentucky’s Malachi Corley, FSU’s Keon Coleman, Georgia’s Ladd McConkey, Michigan’s Roman Wilson or Oregon’s Troy Franklin. The Panthers go for the fastest man in the draft instead. Worthy won that title with his 4.21 40 at the combine. He will provide a much-needed weapon for last year’s top pick, Bryce Young. Worthy is only 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds, but he has rare speed. He ran a 1.49 10-yard split, vertical jumped 41 inches and broad jumped 10-11. His hands were pretty shaky earlier in his career, but they became more reliable in 2023 when he caught 75 passes for 1,014 yards and five TDs. Given his size, don’t expect him to be much of a factor at crunch time. He produced three first downs on third-down throws and only produced one red zone touchdown in 2023.

For all the flash of his blazing speed, Worthy has blue-collar work ethic. Texas coaches told The Athletic that he was the best practice player they’ve had. He really couldn’t track the ball well as a sophomore, but worked very hard to improve as he’s continued to become a more complete player.

The Coaching Intel

“Electric. I think he’s a really good receiver. He reminds me of DeSean Jackson. He can go the distance every time he touches it. I don’t think he’s not physical. I’ll say this: He isn’t little. He’s long. He’s just skinny.”

“He’s so fast, you couldn’t blink when he’s out there.”

I think this thread makes it clear that receivers 5-12 in this draft are extremely unclear and will be drafted between picks 33 and 50.  I'm hoping some crazy, QB needy team wants to give us extra 2nd and/or 3rd round picks to move up and let us drop 8-12 spots.  We still get one of these guys, use pick 39, and get much more value in rounds 2 & 3.  Instead of one of these guys and an Edge/LB/CB we get that AND Ja'Tavion Sanders.....I mean....

I see MoConkey as a guy who will give you 10 seasons as a solid WR and he is the most least likely to bust.  I see many of the others on more of the "Boom or Bust" spectrum.  For this reason, give me McConkey.

From what I have read and seen he is going mid to late first.  Not seeing him getting to us but hope I am wrong.  I think Ladd is a slot guy or #2 but not a #1.  At 33 I doubt we get that honestly.

Ricky Pearsall is a guy that will be a steal in this draft.  Good size and good RAZ numbers and has speed and hands.  If we took him at 33 I would consider it a nice move.  Getting him later awesome.

His QBs were dicey at best

His tape reminds me alot of Josh Downs (only much taller).  I would not be mad at all at this pick....but hope we can get him at 44 after a trade down.

I have settled on my guy at #33.  The only question is speed and it’s a big one but Keon Coleman would be my pick.  He was plenty fast on the field and he can do pretty much everything else.  
 

My questions with others,

Worthy is too small

AD Mitchell has it all physically but something bothers me with him.  He should be more dominant with his tools

Ladd, sure would like to have him but as a #3 ideally

Pearshall can be had in round #3 IMO

just my humble opinion

Good take on Legette.  They love the athleticism, but he still has a lot to do left in his game.  Yes, the Mingo comparison came up here as well.  They show a chart at some point that actually makes me more and more a Pearsall fan. Man, I'm tempted to sang him at #39.

      Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?

      By Jackson113.2 · Posted

      MORGAN ON PLAY CALLER FOR CANALES   "I think that's really his [Canales'] call," he stated. "I think if he wants to promote somebody into being the play-caller or bring somebody from the outside. We haven't really talked about that. But that is something that I'm sure we'll talk about. We talk about every decision together. If he feels like he needs to add somebody or promote somebody into being the play-caller, then I trust him."

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm looking at the final drive, and that's where I'm laying the blame at Bryce's feet. Stepping up to the line, 38 seconds left, 3 time outs on the clock. 30 yards needed to attempt a FG. It's not Bryce's job to call the plays, that's DC's and it was terrible play calling.  It's Bryce's job to read what the defense is giving him at the line. The middle of the field is open. Rams are guarding against the deep ball and bringing pressure leaving the middle of the field ripe for the taking. Knowing his line not holding up for long, Bryce should have read the defense, called the audible, and thrown to the middle of the field for 6- 8 yards, like you said, quick slants would have worked. Then run either hurry up or call a TO. We had time. He has to make the adjustments. Any QB has to make the adjustments.  The pass Horn dropped hit his hands but was at his knees. Should he have slid and caught it? Probably. Was the pass a good one? No it wasn't. Both players were at fault, not just Horn. Let's not pretend that Bryce threw a beautiful pass that hit the receiver chest high right in the hands in perfect stride because that damn sure wasn't the throw.  The defense didn't choke away a lead. They never had a real lead. Choking away a lead is being up by multiple scores late in the 4th and losing. We were up by 4 and handed the ball back to a potential MVP with an All pro WR and potential future HoF WR2. One score games in the 4th are a slug fest. 28-3. That's choking away a lead.  I don't solely blame Bryce for the game, but you seem to solely blame the defense for the game because they went to prevent after losing Horn. You are forgetting the short field that the offense left them that led to the early Puka TD on one of our 2 failed 4th down conversions. Our defense has been given very limited resources over the past 3 years while we have tried to put everything possible around Bryce. We added a little bit to the D this year after giving up a NFL record in points last year. Our defense overachieved based on what they've been given to work with.
