Panthers Eye Third Straight Top WR Pick

0:00On April 15th, Carolina Panthers' GM Dan Morgan is eyeing his third straight first-round wide receiver pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He's already gone that route twice. Grabbing Xavier Leget's 30-second overall in 2024, and Tedaroa McMillan's 8th overall last year. Leget has just 860 receiving yards so far, while McMillan exploded for 1,014 yards and snagged offensive rookie of the year. Despite those investments, the Panthers still crave more at wide-out. Leget hasn't blown up like they hoped, leaving gaps in the passing game even with McMillan's big rookie splash. Fans and analysts see the impact clear as day on quarterback Bryce Young, who's played leveled up thanks to that receiver help. Projections keep linking Carolina to top wide-outs, figuring a fuller group could ignite their whole offense. Morgan isn't ruling it out at all. Picking 19th this time around. He says they'll just chase the best talent available, no self-impose limits on position.
