Why is no one considering double dip at WR?

no one in that room is good enough reason for us not to draft 2 good WRs from this class who could be long term contributors.

 

In order to get what you are saying the double dip need to be two of the first three picks.  You can't count on late round guys.  Again, if the board says another WR is the BPA, then I'm all for it.  I don't want to reach just so the WR room can be deeper--rather have more bodies.  Especially when a guy at another position is ranked higher on our board.

Certainly we can and we probably will but that doesn't mean we take one at 33 and 39.

Center is also a huge looming need.

And if I'm just being honest here. I feel it's a high probability that either rookie will receive the same flack Mingo has because they aren't able to elevate the arm talent or lack thereof from Bryce Young.

At the end of the day we could have Justin Jefferson and our offense would still struggle to score points if our "franchise" QB has no deep passing ability.

one thing to consider, though, is that there are going to be more good WRs coming out in the draft next year and we'll keep seeing good ones. 

including this guy....

 

 

 

he didn’t do anything this past season and I don’t care I still want him on the team

Brugler reported this morning on the AFS that some, not all, but some teams have medicals flagged for Brian Thomas Jr.  There's a chance he's not WR4.  Could he be in striking range mid-20s? I know some here hate the idea of any trade, but if he drops, our name could pop on the TV tomorrow night.

yeah not into the idea of double dipping when we have ONE guy to cover everyone else's receivers. CB is JUST as big a need as WR for chrissakes

zooming out though? 

We had THE worst offense in the NFL.  Improving on the O is a bigger need than improving on the D.  And you have legit D coach in Carolina that likely can do more via scheme than reliance on individuals.  We don't have the same type proven coaching in the O side.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
