Either one of their receivers top 5 paid?

5th.  This is also a team that has an established team. 

Our defense hasn't established anything other than the fact that they have a lot to prove.

The closer we get to the draft the more it feels like Mason Graham could be there at #8. If it's between him and Walker, I think Graham is the way to go. Just feels like a safer choice overall.

I'm also increasingly iffy on the trade down option. Unless we get a big offer from a team in the 20s (Steelers moving up for Sanders?) I don't know that trading down to 10-15 will end up being worth an extra 3rd rounder or so if we end up missing out on both Graham and Walker.

Having said that, I do like Jihaad Campbell if we do end up trading down to that range.

I think the Panthers have the luxury of ignoring positional value. Pick the best player that isn't a QB, RB or interior offensive lineman. Any other position is a legit option. TE, Safety, OT, LB, Edge, CB, WR... all should be options at 8. 

But what we aren't talking about is the next 2 picks. They need to be solid contributors too, with starter-level snaps. Week 1. Not week 8.

different viewpoint 

Has that helped the Bengals?  

…the eagles have premium receivers but they also mostly run the ball and rely heavily on those lines and rotation 

football is, and will always be, build from the inside out

 

The Bengals made the Super Bowl? The Eagles made the Super Bowl before Saquon, but only after AJ Brown and DaVonta Smith? Am I taking crazy pills?
 

Guys, I get that the trenches matter, but you can’t act like it’s the only thing that matters. The NFL clearly thinks that receiver is a premium position, including, yes, the team that won the Super Bowl.

1. QB

2. RT

3. WR

4. TE

5. WR

 

So, uh, four of the top-five are pass-catchers or the guy throwing them the ball. I don’t think you’re making the point that you think you’re making.

All a matter of perspective.   

You see what you want to see. 

I see a team that has been competing, and has an established offense and defense..  

Which we're not. Let's go ahead and skip building a team to we can reach in the draft and select a pass catcher. 

Great perspective.  One which I will never agree with.

That’s fine, just don’t make blanket statements about positional value, then.

No pass catcher has top 10 value, unless they're generational. 

None of those exist in this draft.
