TMJ tried to get traded last year and Fitts allowed him to "explore" options.  There was ZERO interest.  I guess they can try again.  I don't think Fitts was actually trying to facilitate a trade, so maybe Morgan can make it happen this year. 

I'll take a half eaten pickle. The sandwich is off the table.  Word is it the sandwich got dropped on the floor from the table and the dog ran off with it and the pickle was too temping not to take a couple bites.

Half eaten pickle it is then for TMJ.

I would take one less WR spot if it means we can have both Matthews at TE (who is a better receiver than half our Wr's) and Raym as a legit backup C

Matthews looks leagues better than the bottom of our WR depth.  I think that's an easy decision.  Especially if we are in 2 TE sets often.

With all cuts 90 to 53 done in the same couple days it’s not as cut and dry as the old preseason rules. I preferred two phases of cuts

I think it may have made it difficult on the first wave of waived players--without knowing who might get waived during the final waiver,  teams may have missed out.  Just a theory, but with all the players on the table at once (each with the 24 hour rule) maybe it was better for teams.  Just speculating.

Why can this team not draft a WR? Rae Carruth-TMJ--the history is terrible.  Heck, the best WR in team history was a third rounder drafted to return punts.  Here is what we have done:

Did not Pan Out

  • Rae Carruth
  • Donald Hayes
  • Walter Young
  • Drew Carter
  • Keary Colbert
  • Ryne Robinson
  • Dwayne Jarrett
  • David Gettis
  • Armanti Edwards
  • Kealoha Pilares
  • Joe Adams
  • Kelvin Benjamin
  • Shi Smith
  • Terry Godwin
  • Terrace Marshall

Works in Progress

  • Jonathan Mingo
  • Xavier Legette

Average Success

  • Brandon Lafell (had three 600 yard seasons with Carolina over 4 years here)
  • Curtis Samuel (had 2000 yards in receiving over 4 years here)

Standouts

  • DJ Moore
  • Steve Smith
  • Mushin Muhammad

I don't think the success rate for drafted receivers is very high to begin with.  I read an article the other day that said that less than 50% of receivers drafted in the first round ever have even a single 1000 yard season in the NFL.  

If memory serves, we have drafted three receivers in the first round in our history, excluding Leggette.  

1 is a star that we foolishly traded.

1 got off to a good start, but flamed out mentally.

1 is a person whose name should not be mentioned.

I think WR and OL need to be on the board every year....yeah, the first rounders are at 33% but as you say, for reasons perhaps unrelated to their football talent.

So you're telling me we hit on a WR once a decade?  One the bright side, we only have a five year window for our next standout WR to emerge!

I can only barely see it happening... to the Bills (Joe Brady again).

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By Panther53521 · Posted

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
