3. WR Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers

Snaps Played: 430
PFF Grade: 72.8
Key Stat: 14.9 yards per reception (led team, 21st in NFL)

Coker is the only offensive player to make this list, as he became a legitimate weapon for the Panthers down the stretch. The playmaker from Holy Cross racked up 478 receiving yards en route to earning a 73.8 PFF receiving grade. His best highlight was an 83-yard touchdown against Dallas. He also displayed a knack for making contested catches, hauling in five of his eight opportunities. We should see Coker continue to develop alongside Bryce Young next season.

Coker is an example on how really knowing how to play the position can compensate for not having gifted athleticism.  That said, I still can't comprehend how he broke away on that long touchdown. Could just be an extra gear he only has going on a straight line.

He has real NFL WR abilities.

There's a reason why so many great receivers have come in mid/late rounds. Scouts and fans will overvalue raw metrics and potential while another guy who actually does the little things right get overlooked because their 40 time doesn't stand out. I'm hoping the success so far we've had with Coker will get our team to look for more guys like him going forward rather than guys like TMJ/Mingo.

You forgot the other 9.

I swear some people don't understand this.

Get in the endzone when you're inside the 5. Run past faster DBs when the ball is in the air. Jump over taller players to highpoint the ball. Never get tackled one on one in the open field. 

We used to call it "getting power from the ball." Now that I think about that...

It's a good thing we found him because that XL pick is looking pretty iffy at this point. I think Coker has high-end WR2/low-end WR1 potential. Sign Tee Higgins, put Coker on the other side, let Theilen work the slot and rotate XL into the game when he's not eating rodents and we might have something.

And he did not play the entire season.  (about 10-11 games or so)  Do the math.  His stats would haven been higher if you added 6 games--projecting him to about a 750-800 yard WR.  He was on the field for less than half of the offensive snaps.

      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.
