The Panthers have to wait until pick 83 for their next selection, but man are they happy with the options presented to them. If you are looking for a big physical wide receiver, you have your pick ofCollin Johnson, the six-foot-six athletic freak from Texas, local productSage Surrattfrom Wake Forest, andJustin Jeffersonfrom LSU.
There are a plethora of speedy wide receivers to pick from as well, includingDonovan Peoples-Jones(Michigan),Gabriel Davis(UCF),K.J. Hill(Ohio State) andBrandon Aiyuk(Arizona State).
If we don’t want to go wide receiver, we could go with bullying tackleTrey Adamsout of Washington or tight endGrant Calcaterra, each of whom could be instant difference makers for the Panthers offense next season.
When it came down to it, I just couldn’t ignore Johnson’s athleticism and size. Just take a look at some of the plays he’s made at Texas:
Texas WR Collin Johnson went FLYING for the TD catch!

He would slide in and become another option for Newton in the passing game. I have a feeling Panthers’ Nation would be very excited about this one.
