WR at 28 Question

Let's say the top-5/or guys talked about a lot are gone by 28:

 

Watkins, Evans, Benjamin, Matthews, and Lee

 

This can definitely happen imo because you have the Lions, Jets, Ravens, Colts, Redskins (if they trade into R1), and Chiefs at the very least who need wideouts pretty bad (albeit a few worse than others so they may not all necessarily take a WR).  Also, there's more than one wideout needy team past us that could trade up for someone.    

 

Now out of the remaining crop, would you take any at 28?

 

Most notables:

 

Allen Robinson

Odell Beckham Jr.

Brandin Cooks

 

I know it's dependent on what other guys are available but would you be content with any of those three at 28?

 

Not asking if you'd take them over an available CB, OL, or whatnot but if you would take a wideout outside that top-5 at 28.

Beckham Jr. and Cooks I would strongly consider. Would depend on how the rest of the board fell. I would go Beckham Jr before Cooks. He plays big despite only being 6'. High points the ball great. Has more than enough speed to be a deep threat, and gives you production as a returner as well. Not to mention his hands can engulf footballs and his catch radius is insane for a guy who's not 6'3 +.

 

Not a fan of Robinson in rd 1. He doesn't stand out enough in any area of his game to be a building block for an offense imo.

I've really warmed up to OBJ recently.  Think he'd be a great addition.  

 

His best plays are coming up or deep for those long balls and he can really outplay CBs on the physical side of things.  Also, he doesn't seem to give up if a play is extended.  Those type of strengths fit well with Cam.

My favorite is Robinson of those 3.

 

I really want to like Robinson and I'm likely missing something because scouts and a lot of people like him...but nothing jumps out to me.  He body catches a ton and kinda reminds me of Carlton Mitchell from a few years back.  

 

I've seen some nice highlights however so am not completely dissing him.

i would have to go with Odell all the way. they guy had over 1000 yards WR, and over 2000 all purpose yards. Cordarrelle Patterson didnt have that many yards last year, and he went 28 to the vikings. he had a huge impact for them as well, returning kicks, running the ball, and playing WR. Odell plays larger then his 6'0 height, has huge hands to catch away from his body, vertical speed and YAC ability.

 

another name not being mentioned is Davante Adams from Fresno St who could have a late 1st round grade.

Of those? Probably Robinson, though OBJ is growing on me. I also really like Abbrederis and Moncrief if those other guys are gone.

I don't know if I'd take all of them at 28, but there's about a dozen really good prospects in the first two rounds.

I doubt five go before 28, and I'm sure a few of those dozen or so will still be there at 60.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
