I think we'll grab McClonkey with our second pick in the second round. Now our first pick at 33?

Because of the pretty wide base of excellent players in a number of different positions, someone, maybe multiple someones, will fall out of the first round that shouldn't have. And I really have no idea who that will be. There's a fantastic chance to grab a surprisingly good player at 33 this year. 

I'm kind of hoping for one of the top Centers or a DE, though.

boom or bust is how i'm viewing him as well. he will either be absolutely fantastic or just kind of fizzle. for some reason i'm just not 100% convinced on him(maybe 80-85%?). now if he's the guy we take in the 2nd round i'm still going to be stoked, but there's this seed of doubt in my head concerning him. i'd actually feel more comfortable with someone like pearsall. 

i'm thinking the guys that i feel the most confident in are MHjr, Nabers, Odunze, Thomas, AD Mitchell, Coleman, and Pearsall. I think those guys are the safest bets. 

The guys i feel really good but not great about are McConkey, Corley, Leggette, Wilson, X Worthy, Baker, Polk, and Burton (not in order, btw)

For some reason Troy Franklin, Washington, and Dez Walker just have me a little skittish. Not sure why on any of them.

These are all gut checks that i've noticed when i'm doing my mocks. I don't have anything statistically or quantitatively to base this on. 

He was the second leading receiver on his team--and #1 was a TE--albeit a very good TE, however.

I am removing the top 4 from your list because they won't be there for us (barring a trade up) but my "little board" at #33 features Mitchell and that is about it.  Later, maybe if we trade down--Pearsall.  I think Pearsall is going to be the WR that everyone wishes they had drafted one day.

X Worthy gives me Stephen Hill vibes,and that is not fair to him.  Coleman gives me Benjamin vibes. I agree about the others.  My own bias is my cross to bear,and it is not fair to anyone to attribute another player's issues with his prognosis--but I do it.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      My favorite thing about football is it's unpredictability. Jake was a living embodiment of that 😆 But man, when it was good, it made for some amazing memories. That 2003 season was just...

      I just don't understand how we want a third year QB to "ball out" with a rookie WR as his #1, a rookie TE as his #1 TE, 2 sophomore WRs (one is a 1st rounder that is being outplayed by the other who is an UDFA), a sophomore TE that struggles with blocking, and Tommy Tremble.  And all of that with what's now a 2nd year HC, who's calling plays for his third time - ever! This is a super young team that is outperforming expectations right now. The Panthers are winning games against better teams and the QB is a big reason why. You have to give Bryce, TMac, Legette, Coker, Evans, Sanders and Canales time.  Otherwise we could just be the Browns or the Jets. No one wants that anymore. If they were going backwards, then yes, blow it up again. They aren't. They're getting better. They look like an actual competent NFL team. They're wildly inconsistent because they're incredibly young and inexperienced. All of them. Not just Bryce. But they're arrow is pointing up, so we should be patient and ride it out. It could be alot worse. A lot worse.

      I think Bryce gets the 5th year option picked up, but I do not think that means the team doesn't pursue an upgrade at the QB position through the draft or free agency.
