Are Panthers building WR through the draft?

[MHS831]

Hurfox says we are building through the draft.

Put the WR draft thing into perspective: Since Hurfox arrived in 2002 or so, how many WRs have we drafted that have been effective contributors?

Hint: Smith and Moose were already on the roster.

Here they are: Walter Young, Keary Colbert, Drew Carter, Dwayne Jarrett, Ryne Robinson, Brandon Lafell, Armanti Edwards, David Gettis.

Of this bunch, Gettis may emerge to be the best. He was an afterthought, a 6th rounder. If you don't shop free agency and your track record through the draft is terrible, the result is what it is.

Edwards, Gettis and Lafell are in the fourth game of their first season. No way to judge them yet.

Walter Young was a seventh round pick , Drew Carter a fifth.

Ryne Robinson was doing fine till he had that devestating injury.

Colbert and Jarret are the only WR's we truly tried on that failed. And even then Colbert obviously had talent and proved it, so Im hestiant to say they failed at that. But he did.

Well we drafted Steve Smith so....

I don't know what this thread is about, but I saw "Draft" and "WR" so that can only mean one thing...

Screw that.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Why would I settle for a Receiver that's not as good as the first one I mentioned?

Everyones least favorite coach drafted Smith.

The answer is no, Fox/Hurney can't spot a good WR to save their lives.

At least they aren't the only ones with this issue.

You know he said he feels bad about being suspended so he's thinking about coming back for one more year...might be smart especially with this lock out looming.

With him projected to go as high as 1st overall pick, I think he'd be dumb to stay.

Your entitled to your opinion. I would rather have Floyd. Plus Clausen is already comfortable with him.

when did he say that???

I still think he enters the draft

The Panthers have drafted 1 WR in the 1st round and he's in jail. Marshall is gone along with Brayton and Davis. DT, DE, OL and CB are priority!

What if i were to tell you we could get a corner that can shut down both of them. Is that something you might be interested in?

Davis isn't going anywhere.

We won't draft WR in the first round.

This isn't a upcoming draft thread, back on topic.

Agree we've only invested two real picks in WR's and neither has worked out. It's actually a very tough position to draft.
