Thats my whole argument, he’s not the type to break all tackles. He has one way to win and that’s being elusive and quick and I don’t believe that worth a first round pick 

Dude, a lot if not most receivers don't break tackles. What are you talking about? Some of the most dynamic receivers in the game are elusive as hell and don't break a thing. We're not discussing a running back, we're discussing a receiver. The litmus test for a first round receiver are things like whether they are a legitimate playmaker, are a threat to take it to the house on any given play, can get yards in chunks, and can have a marked impact upon the game more Sundays than not. Concepcion runs good routes, and wins at all three levels of the field, not to mention is a legitimate returner. Only wins one way? Come on, man. That's ludicrous within the context that you're trying to imagine.

Anyway, there are different numbers floating around, not that YPRR against zone or man is the litmus test of how well a player will do in the pros, but I'll give you that about zone. Just keep in mind that he was a different receiver at Texas A&M.

There's a bunch to like about his game. For you to look at a metric and draw a conclusion or parallels is just selling him short. No analyst I've listened to has drawn that conclusion. 

 

 

This link is specifically geared to Carolina (the vid is on top).

Matt Harmon of reception perception is really high on the kid, and he's another one (along with Josh Norris) that says it wouldn't be a surprise if Concepcion turns out to be the top receiver in the class.

 

 

The truth is @CarolinaLivin posted it and I took notice at the names and drove into the rabbit hole, just happen it lead to Plebbit. One of my favorite draft gurus loves KC, just that he's around other panther WRs that have struggled..I mean Im about the only XL supporter leftd. Im like 50/50, but honestly haven't done enough to feel strong either. The drop and zone stuff is not what I like the weakness to be, but he is explosive, play all 3 WR spots, and does have playmaking skills which is rare. Right now I wouldn't be upset if panthers used the 51st. Months ago I told the huddle to prepare for a early WR selection.

In my first post I already mentioned all those other things he’s not good at. He’s not a home run threat and he’s not gonna size up any DB like TMac, he also doesn’t have great hands. Then add to fact he’s not really a YAC break tackles DJ Moore type of WR. At best he’s Keenan Allen type, but that’s shooting for the stars.

 

The majority of mocks have him outside the first round

I don’t think he’s worth a first round pick, he’s a slot WR. He doesn’t have home run  speed. And he’s not physical enough to break a lot of tackles or big enough to make contested catches over DBs

He did better the less he was in the slot, btw.

Dude, you're way off base. Concepcion had 440 yards after contact in 2025. Is it elite? No. Is it solid? Hell yeah. Even if I concede that he's not a home run threat, he not only returned two TDs to the house, but he also took a 48 yard screen pass to the house against a stout Mizzou defense. He also had a 45 yarder and a 34 yarder, both largely running after the catch. So you can take that however you want. 

Keenan Allen's career YAC average is basically half (and I'm being generous) of what Concepcion put up last year. Come on, man. They are entirely different receivers.

Sure, he had some legit concentration drops, but it's like some analysts have said, a lot of times drops are overrated. Moreover, it's not like Concepcion is a finished product. 

I mean, it's easy to say most mocks have him outside the first round without realistically being able to look at all the mocks. I've seen him in the top 30 on big boards, so you take that as you will.

Dude has a weird last name but he’s legit.  Amazing route running ability and hands.  He will be amazing in slot.  All hand catches.  He will be open plenty.

You draft the BPA, the highest graded person on your board, period! It doesn't matter what the position is. It doesn't matter if it's three times in a row, particularly when you need a WR--particularly when one of them hasn't worked out. What you and others are suggesting from one perspective is to draft for need--exclude an entire position just because it's the first round, even though that position should rightly be in play just like all the other positions that could provide a valuable upgrade to your team, just because you drafted them in the first round for two seasons in a row. I hate to be blunt and it may appear disrespectful (but it's really not) but in my opinion that's just nonsensical. You draft the BPA/BAP regardless of any arbitrary notions because that's what leads to success, and that you used free agency to set yourself up so that you could do that very thing. That's just the way that I see it

On the plus side if we ever get a real QB our offense could be explosive.

So if a tackle that likely won’t start in 2026 is BPA, you are good?

BPA is a myth strategy.  You simply have to account for positional value and current roster status.  BPA is like taking a generic ESPN fantasy football ranking and simply crossing off the list as you go down

I looked at 2027 FA QBs with that in mind just this morning. It isn’t pretty. Starters are Watson, Geno, Stafford and another guy so meh I forgot who it was.  
 

 Justin Fields, mildly interesting if he learns anything from Andy Reid. 
 

Davis Mills isn’t bad. Then I got to guys like Levis who I think is interesting but not someone you bring in as your guy.

Nah we need to draft someone, those aren't much better or the same tier as Bryce outside of Stafford, but he would retire before playing somewhere else.

But with the guys these fools have been visiting with that might not be much better.
