With AT being slot and Mingo having slot as his best fit, I’d prefer a WR that could play outside. Washington has a lot of talent though…

I think that people are assuming that the slot is Mingo's best fit. I really haven't seen concrete evidence of this. Moreover, I'm not sure Thielen is even going to be here this season; he's certainly not going to be here long term. We should not ignore the long term. There's arguably been too much of that. Mind you that this means that Washington is likely not going to be drafted at 33. Number 65?

He’s rated as 80th best player in draft.  He’s a late 2nd or early 3rd rounder.  He’s 5’8 strictly slot WR in NFL.  He’s quick, physical with good first step and decent route runner but not blazing speed.  He’ll be perfect for Bryce because he gets a lot of yards after contact.  The only issue is Bryce might not see him over the line.

Tyreek Hill and Waddle are both 5'10.  You dont have to have these big receivers any more.  Quick timing routes, receivers that can get seperation and yac are the modern NFL.   I hope we dont prioritize size at all with our wr selections.  Ive heard weve talks to leggett multiple times and that terrifies me and I'm worried about Morgan as if is.

Tyreek Hill and Waddle have 5’10 QBs?

No.  They are 5'10 wr obviously.   Tua is  barely 6' qb 2" taller than Bryce.   Saying Bryce has to have tall receivers because hes 2" shorter is as bad as the whole Cam needs tall receivers so he doesnt overthrow them.

It’s about seeing over LOS.  Most OL are 6’3-6’4 and when they block they bent their knees, allowing QBs to see over.  When you 5’10, you are asking your OL to bend their knees 6 inches instead of 2 inches (6’2 QB).  The OL won’t bent their knees 6 inches lol.  It’s not WR issue, it’s QB issue.

I understand what youre saying but Tua is barely 6' playing with those wrs.

New plan! We take all players less than 6 foot at all positions! Problem solved.

They should all come at a discounted price due to their shortcomings. 

Well, at least Bryce would be able to see over the line (I think).

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      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)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      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

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.
