Are Panthers building WR through the draft?

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.

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!

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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
