No WRs in round 2, I’m good with that

I'm all for letting the draft play out and let it come to you as they say. Stay out the "runs" on players at any position.  That's how we ended up with an overdrafted DE. The Panthers could take any player and it would fill a need somewhere. Just take the best left on their board and don't look back.

Am I the only one ok with no WRs in round 2? If that happens it means it was a run on WRs and it pushed some really good players to us. 

With our needs and the depth of WR in this draft, the smart play could be CB and LB.  If you can get a player like Rice, Polk, Corley (possibly), or Walker in the third when you are ulikely to find your LB or maybe CB in round 3, it could be the play.  Mingo should improve and we added Johnson.   gonna be fun to see what they do, but we are all assuming WR is this huge need, but so are LB and CB.

Right.  Don't treat the draft as if it is the end of all personnel moves.  You can still make trades and we have first crack at the waiver wire---and there are the Undrafted free agents---we have a bare bones roster--no sense reaching at any position.

a lot of the undrafteds would probably feel they have a better chance of making the team with us.  So we got that going for us.  Which is nice

The Panthers not drafting a WR in a great WR draft despite having 2 picks that should be an ideal location to snag a good prospect……is exactly what a David Tepper lead team would do. 

given how the WRs SHOULD fall, there isn’t even a reach argument right now.  It’s just us passing on them….and have nothing legit projected on the roster after this season. 

and no, I wouldn’t be cool with it

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
