We are probably going to double dip in the draft in the Wide out position? Things look a bit dire in that area. I know it's not set in stone that that is going to be our corp. But seeing that this years crop of wide outs in the draft is very deep. Making it very possible that Gettleman is thinking of double dipping in a position like he did a while back when, yeah, you guess it, the defensive tackle position was deep then. Of course we had a god send in Star falling to us. Still. I would not put it past the brass to sign one solid wide out and then draft a couple come may. Personally would want wide out in the first and in the third or fourth. Say Brandin Cooks(1)-Brandon Coleman(4) Jordan Matthews(1)-Jeff Janis(4) Then grab the best tackle in the second and BPA the rest of the draft.

Cooks, Benjamin, Matthews, Lee -- Hopefully we take one of these and if by some miracle one of them is there at 60 we take another

 

Coleman, Bryant, Moncrief, Street -- Barring a miracle fall to 60 we take one of these as well

 

If we double dip that's what I expect to see.

 

Also, that is to early for Janis imo.

The thing is teams can get by with less WR talent. Panthers went 12-4  Pats who probably had the worst WR core went 12-4

 

Now you can't really get by with less OL talent. 
-You can't run the ball

-Long plays can't develop

-Cam is going to get sacked and maybe hurt

-Look at giants this year they had terrible OL and teams killed them. Eli Nick and Cruz did not live up to potential because the line couldn't hold up

 

If you look at the playoff teams there are several that don't have good WR cores

Panthers Pats Seahawks

 

Now can you name any playoff teams without a good OL

 

Pats Broncos 49ers Hawks all have very good OLs

Robert Herron

Hope you guys don't get him.  Watching game vids of Brett Smith, one thing jump out at me more than Brett Smiths inability to go through progressions, Robert Herron can make plays.

 

Undersized but has really good speed.  Not just a blow the top off Ted Ginn type of speedster, he'll make plays in traffic, work underneath, has the athleticism to go up and get the ball.  Like him a lot.  Not sure where he goes though round wise.  Senior Bowl week really put him on the map.  Teams are looking at him for sure.  

 

Depending on where the other more high profile burners go, I could see him going in in the third.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
