That's a great write up! I can tell you put a lot of research and thought into it. Judging by the visits there is a lot of focus on wr. I too believe they are taking a wr in this draft which is stating the obvious. They have looked at receivers that they have in mind in any round. That opens up options at other positions any round as well. I still hope they stick with bpa and not draft for need.

Why double dip?

 

We just traded for a pretty damn solid WR in Johnson. I think 1 more WR is all we need. We still have to see what we have in  Mingo. Thielen is still a solid WR as well.

Johnson, Isn’t he on the last year of his contract? If he has a good year, he’ll demand a big contract and who’s to say he’ll want to re-sign here? If he has a bad year, everyone will want to not keep him. 

Having Thielen definitely should not keep the Panthers from drafting receivers. 

And Mingo, yeah there’s still time with him but this draft is so deep at WR, if you have the chance to get 2 starting WR on cheap contracts for 4 years, why not. 

Like I said, i’d double dip but obviously have a bunch of holes so it’s not like I’d be mad if they go another direction. But with this draft being stacked at WR, and if they’re going BPA and a WR is at top of their board when it’s their turn to pick with both 2nd round picks, I see no problem in that.  Those players give you true WR1 potential, what we have currently is WR2 at best

So who do you like for us to double dip for?

 

I don't really know a lot of these guys besides Coleman.

If we don't pick up a solid edge in FA it feels like we have to pick an edge in round 2 even if it's a bit of a reach

There will also be cut-downs before the season opener.  As a team, we have a poor record when reaching.  Hell, we have a poor record when not reaching.

Adonai Mitchell

Keon Coleman

Ladd McKonkey

Xavier Legette

Those are the guys I feel are worthy of being picked around the 20s-40s range.

Thers a couple centers that would fit the scheme. I can't imagine us not picking one up unless thry manage to get another option in FA.

 

Which centers fit our scheme?  When I run mock drafts, I hate not knowing what OL fit our new scheme.  I've read this is a pretty good draft for center, but what is you opinion on the best centers or guards that could be centers in this draft from round 2 through round 4?

Who's your top 2 realistic WR's?

It depends on my mood. It really changes all the time. Xavier Worthy, Addonai, Mcconkey, Xavier Leggette, Malachi Corley.....I really dig all these guys. Hard for me to pick a favorite.

Keon Coleman creeps in there for realistic options as well. The guy is a beast.

      Can we discuss how NICE today’s uniform were

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Personal preference but despite loving blue as a color in general, it's not often I like it being such a dominant color.  That and it's hard to knock off the traditional white on white as my personal favorite combination. Not only is it a clean look, the majority of the greatest moments this franchise has had - 03 Super Bowl run, 15 Cam to Olsen against the Seahawks, etc - were with that combo.

      You people keep making me defend the 2024 class.  Look XL might as well be 2nd rounder, guys drafted in the 30s-50s do not have what the first round 1-10 have. There's a huge gap. *Most drafts have a tier system that varies. 1-8, 9-14, 15-30, 30-50. Each level there's a huge talent fall or more risk involid. SInce Im a interwebz grandpa, "Back in my day" WRs took 3 full seasons before you knew the ones that had the talent. XL still has time to figure it out and if he doesn't, toss on 20 LBs and give TE a try.....Ive seen him blocking the number off players recently... I still holding out he and BY and...Dave can ALL figure out how to break XL out of the slump.  Im not going to defend Brooks, it was wrong. I heard they viewed him as a first rounder, still.......no more. Wallace is looking better each week after that terrible week one, he's looking more and more like a great pick now. Sanders- a little unlucky, but he's the #1 TE on the roster. He's just got to figure out the silly minor injuries bug. Great pick for a 4th if he does, CSW- Unlucky with minor injuries too, but he's the starting NB. Great pick for the 5th round too as he's a legit starter. Crumedy- part of a deep DL and facts are he is the 50s on roster ranks. Still for a 208, that's about what's normally happens. He's still on the team and next year could have a better role.  UDFA- Coker and RIchardson. They also signed Tremayne form that year, he made the deeeeep WR group and plays a solid ST.    Im a former draft nerd... If you draft 2 starters and a top backup, that's a good/great draft. *Thus far this 2024 class has netted 4 starters, one backup, and one prayer. If you include and should the UFDA its increases the impact.
