WR preference

So, lets take a look at Fox's WR drafting and compare it with free agency signings....

The Draft (WR)

2003: Rd 7 - Walter Young, Illinois

2004: Rd 2 - Keary Colbert, USC / Rd 5 - Drew Carter, Ohio St.

2007: Rd 2 - Dwayne Jarrett USC / Rd 4 - Ryne Robinson, Miami OH

Free Agency

2003: Kevin Dyson, Ricky Proehl

2008: DJ Hackett

Notable other signings: KeShawn, Mark Jones...urh....

(Note: This isn't much to work with)

So with this limited view on our recent WR transaction history, do you trust signing a free agent or drafting someone given how these studs have worked out? :)

It is clear that the more experienced guys we picked up had the best success. This shows that we don't teach our wideouts too well here and I would much prefer getting wideouts in both the FA and draft. We need to create a safety net to void any potential duds (much like what we have done at the Dline), which is likely to happen.

the WR college scout should have been on the same Amtrak as Crossman......

NO DOUBT

That is a pretty sad list.

Just read the article on Jacoby Ford. As soon as they compared him to DeSean Jackson I was sold. Smitty and Moose/Jarrett with Ford in the Slot.

Add the awesome running game we have. We could bring back Frank Reich to QB for us and still win.

In my perfect world we would trade our 2nd round pick for Anquan Boldin and use the money we're saving by letting Peppers walk to give him a new contract. It would be almost impossible for teams to stop our running game if they had another WR other than Smitty to cover. I don't know if Jeff Davidson is creative enough to make it work but it sure is fun to think about. Too bad Fox and Hurney don't have the balls or the brains to pull off such a move, hell they still think Jake is good enough to be our QB... HAHAHAHAHA!

From what I am hearing about Jacoby Ford, he would be my preference.

Pstall, looking at that list, I pretty much think that some of us in the Huddle could do better than that. Kind of pathetic. Not exactly a stellar resume.

As much of the thought of teaming Boldin and Smitty together sounds good. I am not so sure that is a good idea. I think it has been well documented that Boldin has spent as much time on the IR as he has on the field.

In 7 seasons he has played 16 games only two times in a season. Out of 112 games he has only played 95. Basically missing an entire season. So we will pay him a full wage to sit out 1/4 of the season.

I think if he could stay healthy it would be a great pick. There is a reason Arizona is dumping him so personally I think we should say NO.

      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.
