Panthers' Draft Focus: Pass-Catchers

0:00On April 23rd, Panthers are locked in on passcatchers for the draft, especially wide receivers and tight ends, and it's not just talk. They've hosted seven of those guys for top 30 visits, like KC Concepcion, Oscar Dope, and Omar Cooper Jr. That's over a quarter of their visits on positions that make up less than 10% of a starting lineup. Dan Morgan even joked, there's no rule against taking three straight first round wide receivers. They've been scouting these weapons hard to boost Bryce Young, and it's clear from the numbers. No smoke screen here, just real moves to load up the offense after a rough year. Fans and Mox had tight end Kenyan Sadiq, pegged as their guy, but he's nowhere on the visit list. No meetings at the combine, nothing virtual or in-person. That hype looks like pure smoke now. Safety's in play too, with guys like a manual McNeil Warren or the top prospect the Miniman, but passing on a pass catcher for the third best safety, unlikely when Young needs targets.

1:01Keep eyes on Theoniman's board spot. If he slides to them, he's probably the pick. Otherwise, expect a pivot to Concepcion or Cooper Jr. to arm that attack right.
