was looking for some more info on him and stumbled upon this article

http://www.examiner.com/sports-in-charlotte/pilares-believes-he-is-ready-to-contribute

His opinion on Newton:

“I always saw him on television,” Pilares said. “It is crazy what kind of physical specimen that guy is. He is huge, and he is a great quarterback. He is definitely the greatest athlete in this draft. He is a baller. He is a good football player. Just to be on the same team with that guy I’m thankful. And I’m looking forward to working out with him.”

lots more in the actual article. After reading up on this guy he's becoming my favorite pick in the draft.

If they have to let Munnerlyn start at corner, I see Pilares taking over at PR. Maybe even if Munnerlyn isn't a starter. And he may even compete with Goodson for KR.

Depending on what happens with Smitty is going to determine how much Pilares actually contibutes in the passing game. At the very least he will be Smitty's primary backup even over Amanti Edwards who will probably be fighting for a roster spot as the primary backup for Gettis. As I pointed out in another thread, this team now has three starting WR, much the same way Fox always said that the nickleback is a starter on defense. Expect at least 6 WR to make the final roster, if not more. But I think Pilares easily become the #2 Slot and #1 Slot if Smitty leaves.

im a HUUUUUUUUGEEE newton fan.. but i completely see myself getting a Pilares jersey - that kid is going to be a monster. And by god if we still have Steve Smith on this roster.. The Panthers Might go to the Superbowl - Yes i said that. Superbowl -

I have no idea why people underestimate Newton - From just checking out his highlights video - that kid seems to be an Upgraded Roethlisberger - And we have an Offensive line - new coaching staff.. Our defense beleive it or not was intact, we also have one of the best defensive co ordinators around. Matt "Ballerina" Ryan and Drew Brees will have one nasty time with that guy. Of course - we now know what that tampa kid brings - weve seen a more premium version of that "Michael Vick" so now hes a known commodity.

This team is going to be Something.

I hope he doesn't. He has a good motor and heart but I'd much rather see Gamble, Marshall, and Hogan... i think that's a stout group right there

This kid is going to go down as one of our best draft picks. I'm telling you, once I saw his name flash on the screen, I immediately thought, "this is the kind of WR that the Pats and Colts take in the later rounds"

I agree. And even if Marshall isn't back, Hogan is a carbon copy of Marshall (if not better). Good tackler, decent in coverage but not spectacular. If Hogan can cover better he'll be an upgrade. Watching his youtube videos, I LOVE his tackling.

      Known Prospect Meetings with Panthers

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
