Cordarrelle Patterson/Keenan Allen

Both names inspire me more than any other right now, because both (especially Patterson), was in the top 10 for much of last mock draft season and was at worst often mocked to the Cats at 14. With even average QB play, Patterson would have shined even more in his Pro Bowl rookie year. Yet he was on the board at #28!!! Who is this year's Patterson or Allen (who was also obviously studly and mocked to the Cats at 14 last January)?Evans? Ebron? Someone else? Why or why not?

I'm starting to hear some criticism about Evan's route running ability. I mentioned on a different thread that because Evans didn't have a legit NFL type QB throwing the ball he didn't have the opportunity to finish his route. A  lot of his catches came from some Manziel lunacy. He didn't have a QB who would step in the pocket and give him time to beat his man using the proper route. I think teams that don't really need WR but would pick him for his freakish ability might pass on him. Hopefully he falls to us then he can learn under Smith.

    • They won my vote of confidence for this year
    • I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
