He ran a 4.6 yesterday.  2nd worst time of all WRs.  That ain’t what we need IMO.   Not at 33.  Not with all the speed and good WRs in this draft 

yeah but he had the fastest time in the guantlet.  catching balls.  which is what matters.  how fast someone runs in tights, doesnt matter in the NFL.

How is his ability to separate and getting open? 

he does that vertically.  Bryce needs a big target, especially over the middle.  Carolina hasnt had a decent TE in a long time.  This guy is a WR with a TE body.  He can go up and get it.

40 time is distinctively different from the ability to separate. The tape will tell the story on that. 

I don’t love him as a prospect, TBH.

Also, our history with FSU players is pretty bad. As I said in another thread, I am just fine never taking another FSU player again.

Think he was trying to make up for such a bad 40.  It’s why he couldn’t cut up field on the last ball and ran off field.

Speed and seperation isnt all a wr needs.  Carolina was pretty bad at catching the ball and dropping it.  This guy is as sure handed as it gets.

Separation is critical in the modern NFL. It's great that he is sure handed but so is someone like McConkey who also gets separation with regularity. 

This smacks of Prime Cam "Get him tall WR's" strategy. The modern NFL thrives on separation and creating in space.

I would say the modern NFL also uses big guys to catch the ball.  Look at Kelce and Kittle.  granted both TE's but were not gonna find one of them in this draft.

I would like the pick but regardless of if we pick him or not, we definitely need a WR who can go get the 50/50 ball. 

My pro comp for Coleman is Tee Higgins.

I'm a little concerned about the 40 time but I'm sure he'll have the typical pro day improvement that everyone has when they run a bad 40 at the combine.

You basically alluded to that. That's creating a different sort of mismatch at TE. Not the same thing.

There is a reason there aren't a lot of tall and limited possession receivers that are popular in modern NFL offenses. It's a different era. 

I don’t think this specific prospect offers much different than TMJ or Mingo.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone and we have Taylor Moton inked to a recent extension. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
