2 rd (48) WR Arrelious Benn Ill.- going against my gut, its hard to not pick up a talent with Benn's skillset and our need for a quality #2 WR on the other side of Smitty

3 rd (78) DE George Selvie USF- Selvie imo is a solid player in the form of Mike Rucker won't wow you in most aspects but won't dissapoint and with the lack of DE options this upcoming season since free agency has not been a real factor would be a nice pick

4 rd (112) OL Adam Ulatoski TEX- OL depth and who doesn't love a big guy

6 rd (175) QB Zac Robinson OK St.- Moore is the man now, Robinson has some skills to be a solid backup and short time starter with some work

6 rd (202) CB/KR Javier Arenas Ala.- small DB but can scare a defense with return ability and would be a nice nickel back

6 rd (204) FB Matt Clapp Okla.- old school battering ram, no frills all he does is clears a path and will add competition for Fiametta

7 rd (223) DT Terrance Cody Ala.- another big body, is high risk/high reward and with this late of a pick really what can it hurt

7 rd (249) S Myron Rolle Fla St.- if available, probably won't be, but should he drop due to commitment concerns would be a steal

I know I'm crazy...but that is neither here nor there

what are your opinions/grades/hates/props

If we could get Arenas, that would be an interesting pickup. On top of KR, he could possibly develop into a position player.

Robinson is a good idea. We need someone who can potentially start but for now just sits and watches Moore. ;)

I though hope we get a guy like Alualu. I think we are more solid at DE than DT...but I think most would disagree.

If this ever happened I'd be pretty stocked, but I'm not going to lie there is not a snowball's chance in hell that Cody falls that far. Sorry bud buts that not happening

4th would be the absolute farthest I see him falling. Most likely he doesn't make it out of the 2nd.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
