Is Coker WR1?

4 catches for 110 yards by a UDFA in his first game in more than a month is far more than "playing well." I swear a guy could put up 9 catches for 215 yards, 3 TDs and this board would say "he played decent but he's still not that good". It's OK to admit we have a star WR in the making.

Which changes nothing about Carolina's inability to extend this season as was suggested and makes that window actually even longer than 2 years.

I think the main question is why on earth would you want to extend so far before you need to

We still don't know what we have in Coker. He played well today and has shown flashes this season in limited time. Looks like a ball player, but how will he perform when he starts getting different coverages? Is he an X? Is he a slot? Can he learn all 3 spots? There's a lot of unknowns there.

 

XL is young as well. We poo on him here because of his drops, sure, but the kid COULD develop. Give him time.

Coker is our most exciting receiver by far, but Philly Brown was exciting too. Where is he now? At home after doing nothing after his time here ended.

Brown looked nothing like this.

You can see Coker has excellent hands, runs good routes and has body control. He LOOKS like an NFL WR.

He's promising, but almost all those yards came on a broken coverage. He did look open other times but Bryce couldn't get him the ball, however we'll have to see from the all22 how it went.

I'm excited about what he brings to us and I'm not ready to say what his ceiling is yet, but I'm also not ready to go with a star in the making. It's good we have more games to evaluate him with.

If he was really that guy, we wouldn't be needing to draft a receiver early this coming draft or go big in FA . But as of today we still need to.

Part of his ability is to create a broken coverage -- most every catch on this team is contested, year-in and year-out. So his hands, route-running savvy and overall talent equate to a star in the making. Also, I would far rather go QB, DL or trade down than pick yet another WR early.

      REPORT: Panthers attempting to move up in the 2nd round

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This would be the best option a future 2nd and 57 maybe. We’d still have ammo for this draft and you never know what capital we may acquire for next years draft. But getting EZ would really add some juice to our draft a top 3/4 Edge the top WR or at least top 1/2 WR seems like a good haul after two rounds of the draft. This isn’t close to a Brooks dislike last year and dam it sometimes you roll the dice you hit some you crap out some. But not trying or sitting and waiting isn’t going to get us our second impact player and we need 2 to 3 out of this draft to continue to build on where we need to be to contend with all teams.

      You know when I won't be happy about this pick? When it completely ruins my fantasy draft this year, hahahahaha. We do an auction draft and while I have the most historical success in our league (same group of guys for about 15 years now), my one flaw is that I have a real hard time not overpaying for the guys I have a soft spot for and our league has gotten good at getting me to over bid on them to get them. I'm so screwed this year, I'm going to have to put a very hard cap on my budget for T-Mac and not allow myself to bid a dollar over it.  I've already made the determination that he's going to be the first player I nominate this year so I can get it out of the way early and don't sit on budget waiting for him only to over pay or not get him in the end.

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      Right. You want a quick hitting offense to receivers who can get open. The personnel around Bryce would be much better suited to a power run game and deep play action which would, unironically, be better suited to a guy like Sam Darnold.    Unless we draft another Theilen like guy later on, I truly don’t get it.    I still want Skattebo though. Have a feeling I won’t get that wish either.
