Is Coker WR1?

We have to go best available, regardless of position.  Too many holes to fill but I'm guessing at 4 it's Travis Hunter (who interestingly would help both WR and CB if he can play both).  Position 5 or below it'll be a Defensive Lineman or Edge.

Highly probable he is next year. What's concerning, and I've always had this take is how bad this organization has been at evaluating receivers. We've had 1 all pro for certain at this positon in Steve? Muhammad ik had some pro bowl appearances (ik its a popularity vote). But even the solid receivers we've had never lasted long, or were not consistent. We've acquired solid vet WR's like Keyshawn for brief periods but they're essentially washed. As far as drafting pass catchers we are horrendous. 

Moose was first team all pro in 2004 and legit had an incredible season. He was just wasted in Carolina before Jake got there, with the exception of the magical 1998 season.

colbert was all rookie but then Steve smith got healthy and basically bullied him out of the league. I don’t know if smith has ever talked about that directly but he obviously had a lot of anger issues (he’s worked hard on) and he wasn’t going to have another young WR around. Colbert was a quiet guy and he just kinda went into himself. 

DJ Moore is a top 11 ish WR in the league I think, but he’s been banished to the negative zone. 

Rae carruth was 2nd team all rookie but had some distracting off the field stuff  

then there’s a bunch of guys I think could have been productive players in better environments but that’s just me spitballing.

    • Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.
    • If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
    • This is pretty accurate our offense needs more juice. I love Cooker but he’s not enough XL ummm we’ll see this year hopefully the third year WR thing hits him and he plays better but still not enough. Honestly we need look at the Eagles they just adds Wicks and Hollywood Brown to that core. That shows the level of talent needed to compete at a championship level this coming season. And this below is the real problem KC doesn’t seem to add that much to our offense. We Makai Lemon or defense at 19
