I think so too but I am not sold on Matthews being a legit #1 but more of a really good #2

On the topic of Benjamin one thing to note is he absolutely destroyed Loucheiz Purifoy 9-212-3 who is going to be an NFL CB. Hes gonna be good.....i hope.

I never wanted to let Smitty go. We have avant and cotchery. Both #3 wr's IMO. Hope Cotchery shows he is a #2. He is a great teammate.

Johnson is a fading #1 wr. But the Panthers need some playmakers and if they could get him for cheap for a year or two I don't see the significant risk. Benjamin is gonna take a little time to become a #1 if he ever does.

I have him going to that team that plays in Landover Maryland with the 34th pick.

No need to worry about Stevie Johnson. San Francisco is trading for him.

Well IMO the reason smith was let go (regardless of whether we wanted it or not hes gone) is so we could finally get a wr who can grow with cam. I dont see the point in bringing in a selfish locker room cancer in johnson who is on the back end of his career. Benjamin seems like a high character guy who is loved in the locker room....the last thing we want is for stevie johnson to corrupt him.

Also can someone tell me why the media always hates the panthers picks? They hated cam, they hated luke, they hated star, they hated kawan and now they hate Kelvin. WTF is wrong with them.

EDIT: Stevie to the 49ers

Who hated Luke Kuechly?

Not necessarily the player, but they hated where we took him. Most LB's taken in the top 10 failed miserably and most analysts said LB's shouldnt be taken in the top 10.

The 49ers must think it is a good idea.

Per Adam Shcefter - They just traded a 2015 4th round pick to acquire Johnson.

We get the point.

The difference between our team and their team is they have veterans at wr while we are trying to incorporate younger guys. You want leaders who are willing to teach like avant and cotchery not me first guys who only want to take care of themselves.

Id rather groom our own wrs than take on his contract and his personality.

[GamecockSuperFan]

Wondering if they'll take another WR. If Matthews from Vandy is still available they should take him. I know most of us would like Bruce Ellington, but a bigtime possession receiver like Jordan Matthews would be a big steal.

[Transmaniacon]

Stevie Johnson is not a me-first guy. He was a locker room leader in Buffalo, along with Fred Jackson. Bills fans love him and aren't happy about losing him.

I'm a Bills fan, incidentally. Just sticking up for Stevie.

In what round are you referring to? I think 2nd round we go with an o lineman, 3rd round we go secondary, then our other picks I am not too sure what we would finish out with... maybe another WR or lb/dl in the later rounds.

[Cockypantherfan]

Our pick is coming up... Morgan Moses is still on the board and some good CBs.

[Gyle41386]

Damn, after seeing Moses mocked to the Panthers at 28 for a really long time, getting him at 60 would be solid.

[GoldenSpur7]

^^ Antonio Richardson also available. Though he might be there in R3.

[GoldenSpur7]

On the clock.

[Cockypantherfan]

Why??

[GoldenSpur7]

WTH?
