there's like a million threads on WR's, but i felt like starting up a new conversation that's narrowed the WR's down to just three, and possibly a FA. out of the guys coming out in the draft, there's only 3 that i see us being able to get that also fit with our philosophy on and off the field.

golden tate

mardy gilyard

brandon lafell

and the only FA i see us going after, should we go after one, would be Javon Walker. but i doubt we go after him.

and i said Golden Tate in that list because i believe we'll trade up to get him. most mock drafts have him going in the 2nd, somewhere near the top, more than likely. i think we'll trade up with our 2nd, 4th, and 6th round picks. or just the 2nd and 4th rounders. either way, we're trading up to get Golden Tate. which = 2 steve smith's on the field at once. :drool5:

I used to think Javon Walker had potential to be a great receiver in the league. I think he made the pro bowl in like 2004. But I think that receiver is definitely gone.

I like Golden Tate. We need a receiver that can stretch the field, and he runs a 4.3-4.4 40 yd dash I believe. If we can back the safeties off and give Smitty the ball in open field, I like our chances.

we should get torry holt, at least for this year. we can get a wide receiver in the 2nd round, and actually have a decent 3 man receiving group for a change. holt still had over 700 yards last year. at one time he said he wanted to play for the panthers 'cause he was born in north carolina and went to college there. he might play for a small contract. who knows? why not ask? oh ya, this team doesn't believe in free agency this year.

yeah, i personally think we should give up our 2nd and like a 4th rounder to move up a few spots to take golden tate. i wasn't sold on his highlight reel on youtube, but nfl.com had a nice vid on him and that vid sold me on him. he definitely has the skills to be a number one receiver in this league at some point in his career. but i personally think it's going to be between mardy gilyard and golden tate. brandon lafell would be a backup option, but i think Fox and Hurney are looking for speed this year. and what i think you'll see on draft day is them making a move for tate, giving up a later pick, but they'll still get a DT in the 3rd round. and they'll get a FA WR after the draft, i'm sure.

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.

      The Athletic's "Undrafted Player to Watch"

      That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly.

      The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
