The 84th time is the charm.

I will say I am less skeptical of Taylor than I am about XL.

They should be looking for crisp route runners that can get YAC or at least just crisp route runners. That's what Young needs, not big athletes that aren't really good at their job.

Well the range that Taylor is likely in is where you can make some gambles on guys like him(3rd/4th round). That is what I viewed XL as and so far he has been.

If we can't get McMillian early, WR needs to be a FA thing. Some big splash signing like Higgins or big trade for Wilson. Outside that, this draft does look like one I would expend the 8th pick or even our 2nd rounder on a WR. I know there will be guys that pop in the 2nd and 3rd but it's a crapshoot in this class, IMO

I don't know if they need a big splash, but they do need at least NFL average besides AT.

I meant to say WOULDN'T expend the 8th or 2nd.

I am fine getting an elite guy at WR like Higgins or Wilson. That is something we are not going to be able to draft because we don't have anyone in the building that knows how to evaluate WR talent.

Maybe they need to talk to college coaches and ask if guys they're interested in can run routes. Get the college guys drunk so they tell the truth or something.😁

That, or just go with production until they find someone that can evaluate WR talent.

WR's seem like a relatively simple evaluation. We just fug it up constantly.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
