Panthers draft Edwards as wide receiver/returner

[Rod Butsecks]

(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) The Carolina Panthers paid a steep price for Armanti Edwards. But they think he's going to be worth it.p/The Panthers traded next year's second-round pick to New England to move into the late third round, so they could choose Edwards 89th overall.

Worst pick of the draft!

[Mr. Scot]

Completely disagree.

Completely disagree.

With what? Worst pick?

best pick of the .... end of the 3rd round!

With what? Worst pick?

Yep.

If he can actually play receiver, could end up being the best pick of the draft. He has the speed, and he can run after the catch, but can he catch it?

[Wither]

Yep.

Wasn't sure if you disagreed with his statement or something in the article.

Yep, if he develops the hands, he COULD be Steve Smith lite. He has the attitude and the physical attributes.

Which is what I liked in Tate (on-field attitude), but I didn't really like what I saw from Tate from a pure WR stand-point.

After the shock value of the trade has worn off, and the fact that we knew the FO liked him... I'm warming up a tad.

I love the thought of Edwards in the Wildcat or coming around on a WR option. The wildcat works so much better if there is at least a threat of a pass coming out of it. I think he has loads of potential. They gave up a lot though.
