We need to have this conversation. So far I think Coker looks like the first rounder not XL. If Coker had gotten the same reps since start of the year he probably leads the team in yards and receptions. Hopefully XL can get back to his best form but right now he’s not the main WR to build around. 

btw

Jalen Coker now holds the record for most receiving yards for an undrafted rookie in Panthers history. Coker entered Sunday needing 34 yards to pass Corey “Philly” Brown, who had 296 yards in 2014.

Coker’s line vs. Cowboys: 4 recs, 110 yards, 1 TD. 

also

Jalen Coker’s top speed on his TD catch & run: 21.15 MPH 

That’s the fastest ballcarrier speed by a Panther since DJ Moore in 2021

Him coming along is why I don’t really want to use our first on WR like others do. Mid rounder sure, need to prepare for life after AT.

Yes. He is a baby anquan boldin. He can run every route. He catches with his hands and is already finding soft spots in the zone just like thielen. In two years he’s going to credit playing his rookie year with thielen

when he stepped out of bounds today before the catch, he knows he fuged up and you could tell when he was watching the replay. He was pissed at himself. Not like “aww shucks” but like “this never happens again.”

I didn’t know he was that fast. When he pulled away for that TD… loved seeing it

That was a pleasant surprise. I knew he could run good routes and has great hands but I didn’t expect him to have that kind of top  speed

That was also a good sign for him compared to last week with miles sanders on that deep pass to XL. Sanders was just trying to pull down the safety so when Bryce threw it he wasn’t even thinking he was going to be a target. 

I think Coker was just clearing out the crossing route there (I think it was XL) and Bryce noticed he’d used a madden invisible receiver card. But he was still ready to make a play. Unlike sanders who was like “oh you’re throwing at me that’s so wild.”

dudes a dog.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
