Panthers Consider Passing on Boston, Seek Variety in Draft

0:00On April 9th, the Carolina Panthers are bringing in wide receiver prospect Denzel Boston from Washington for a top 30 visit today. They're focusing on offense again, zeroing in on pass catchers to build out their options. Boston's a legit first round talent, often mocked to Carolina at pick 19. Scout see him as a solid starter soon, with a pro-com to Puke Nakua and his 6-foot-4, 212-pound frame, mirrors Tedaroa McMillan perfectly. Panthers fans love those big-bodied receivers, and Bryce Young thrives throwing to them. Right now, their top 3 McMillan at 6-foot-5, 212, Jalen Coker 6-foot-3, 213, Xavier Leggett 6-foot. 3, 227, all fit that mold. But here's the thing, Leggett's been underwhelming and doubling down on the same archetype feels like overkill. They need variety, like smaller spasters such as McCoy Lemon at 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, or KC Concepcion around the same size.

1:07While Boston can make some team real happy down the line, Carolina's smart to scout wide, but probably wise, to pass and chase a different profile in, the draft.
