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.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
