Ideal 1st Round Pick for Carolina [UPDATED]

Don't Forget theres still Jordan Matthews. I'd take him if Benjamin Watkins Evans and Lee are gone

I think if the coaching staff is committed to getting WRs in this draft they could easily grab 2 top of the line ones in the first 3 rounds. If i were the GM I would go into this off season with the thought that the WR position must be fixed then in later year I could have the flexibility to play around with other positions. Pretty much the same approach Gettleman took for the DL.

Yeah deep class, we can get one in the 1st, cb 2nd, wr 3rd

 

True true but when you think about it, getting the top tier of a deep WR class is a huge addition.    

 

I'm hoping we double tap or WR/receiving TEs but it doesn't have to be 1-2. 

 

For the 1st: If Lee, Evans, Benjamin or S-J falls, go for one of them, maybe Matthews or a OT if not.  It's very early in the process though.

 

Outside of the first: Maybe like a Cooks, Landry, or Coleman

 

My ideal combo if possible would be Lee/Benjamin and Cooks.

I'll take 708 yards and 3 TDs as "MIA".  The guy broke out his freshmen year and was Clemon's only threat, so he got a ton of passes his way.  Last year Hopkins arrived on the scene and took alot of his touches away.  This doesn't mean that Watkins wasn't getting open, it just meant there were 2 threats on the field.  It's obvious now that Watkins can still dominate, considering his biggest game of the year so far was against Georgia.

 

Problem with Watkins is he can disappear for long stretches, he does have great physical talent though.  But I agree with OP, He's not tall enough, 6'1 allows you to compete, 6'5 allows you to be dominate, especially in the redzone.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
