Is Drafting a WR in the 2ND Really A Good Idea?

You take the BPA.  TE is not deep. EDGE is not deep. WR is deep. O-Line is deep. There could be some first round talent at WR drop to the second (and we have two high second round picks). That may not happen for O-line. It's not going to happen for TE. Probably not happening for EDGE either. I doubt it happens for CB too.

We have to trust these guys to do it right--not the crackheads who were pulling strings before.  I really do not think they understand talent. 

A WR that has good hands and runs crisp routes that gets separation is not going to bust.  Instead, we were drafting players based on 40 times and active heart rates--zodiac signs and college stats--

Morgan is going to be watching a lot of film---that is what he knows and every successful MLB does it religiously.

A rookie WR. They showed with Mingo the concept that inexperience is supposed to mentor inexperience. Interesting.

If you can find a player that fits exactly what the WR room is lacking then okay. Yes. An excellent role player would be good. 

With this QB a downfield jump ball guy. Time it out with where the hell they can get to in 2.7 secs and then add flight time for the ball and that is your range. It will almost all be inside 25 yards of the LOS. Find a jump ball guy that can handle that and inside of that. 

I am sure I’m off but there has to be a way to quantify what kind of WR can do those things. We do not have  much striking range.

ok ok here me out and stop throwing poo at me.  If the goal is to develop Bryce Young, is brining in a rookie WR the right way to do that or just surround him with good vets?  I'm torn, we need a wr to groom but putting him on the field may hinder Youngs development.

SMH. Just because Fitterer flopped at drafting rookie WRs doesn’t mean a rookie WR will hinder anything. We should be able to get a quality rookie WR in this strong class that can start day 1. Stroud didn’t seem hindered by a rookie WR. Flowers didn’t hurt Lamar and Addison was solid for Cousins especially with JJ out.

We shouldn’t be scared of stuff because our last GM sucked. Still entirely possible we still suck at drafting since we still have the same cogs that were around him. Here’s hoping we learned or that we fired the right guy.

Morgan and Canales know to watch for players who know how to do what they are supposed to do.

How we have been doing things for years going back to even drafting Benjamin and Funchess....they weren't looking at skill and proficiency as much as huge WRs. And then we kind of quit looking at WRs altogether. Well, at least Gettleman wasn't.

With Fitt, instead of size it was that damn RAS score and whatever supermetric they could use. Relying on analytics to tell you who should be drafted. We watched moneyball and fell for that poo.

Morgan trusts his first hand knowledge and those unblinking eyes. He knows what real football players and what makes a guy who can play at a high level because he played with and  against the best for so long.

I think Canales just knows what players have the mentality to push themselves to play at a high level and he can get that to rise to the surface.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
