Panthers' Draft Dreams: Lemon or Bust?

0:00On April 15th, Panthers sitting at the 19th pick in the draft and they're hoping for a steal like wide receiver McCoy Lemon. This guy seen as one of the top receivers, maybe even a top 10 talent behind only Carnal Tate. Mock drafts keep sending him to Carolina without them trading up, turning a mid-round spot into a jackpot. Earlier this week, Buzz grew because Lemon's been projected to slide, just like some other big names. Panthers fans love it since talent doesn't care about draft position. Multiple mocks have them grabbing him, making it feel like more than luck. But hold up, Adam Schefter dropped a report, comparing Lemon to Tedaroa McMillan, the receiver Carolina knows all too well. McMillan got hyped as the next Mike Evans didn't fall far and balled out as rookie of the year for the Panthers. That worked wonders for them. Now, new chatter from team says Lemon could drop, with some calling him the next almond-rossing brown. A coach even bouts for that upside, which means he's probably not sliding to 19.
