insiders believe as many as ten receivers could be selected in the second round

I dont think 10 will go but I could see a run on WR in the 2nd

One team seemingly likely to pull the trigger on a player at the position in the second frame is the Dallas Cowboys.

The team has met extensively with several potential second round receivers including Arrelious Benn of Illinois, Brandon LaFell of LSU and Ohio’s Taylor Price. In fact Jerry Jones personally met with Price on his recent visit to the Cowboys facility and spent extensive time with him.

Price is moving up draft boards and has likely cemented himself as a second round pick. Besides visiting the Cowboys, the speedy wide out has worked out with the Carolina Panthers

I could see maybe 6 going.. Bay Bay Thomas, Damian Williams, Arrelious Benn, Taylor Price, Mardy Gilyard, Brandon LaFell..

Guys with an outside shot are: Dexter McCluster, Carlton Mitchell, Eric Decker, and Jacoby Ford but I highly doubt any of these guys will get taken in the 2nd.

I believe only 2 WRs will get taken in the 1st.. Bryant and Tate.

We have no chance at Bryant.. and very little shot at Tate. We will end up with Benn or Damian Williams. Bay Bay will more than likely goto the Bucs before us in the 2nd.

I don't think we will get Damian Williams because I think Pete Caroll will pick up his reciever before we even pick.

I could see: Damian Williams, Bey Bey Thomas, Rejus Benn, Brandon LaFell, Mardy Gilyard, Taylor Price, Andre Roberts, Dexter McCluster and Eric Decker.

It also seems teams are falling for Taylor Price...I wish there were some vid I only seen the one on youtube of him.

I've heard the Panthers are very high on the guy. BTW if you want to see him you can watch the Ohio vs Vols (09/26/09) in SEC Digital Network website and if you want i can send you a PM with megaupload links for his Bowl Game (against Marshall).

Regards!!

Regardless of how many may be taken, I still think Carolina is moving up in this years draft one way or another

JR won't let us trade next year's 1st rounder.. but if we can move up a different way, then maybe..

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
