There's one scenario in the 2024 NFL Draft that Pro Football Focus thinks would be the "worst case scenario" for the Carolina Panthers.
And it involves the Panthers' first selection in the draft — which is the first pick in the second round (No. 33 overall).
PFF thinks it's a mistake if Carolina takes anything other than a wide receiver at No. 33.
From PFF: Worst-case scenario: Not drafting a wide receiver with the 33rd overall selection. The Panthers don’t have a first-round draft pick in 2024, thanks to the trade-up for quarterback Bryce Young a year ago. While there will be concerns about Young, given that he earned just a 56.0 PFF grade as a rookie, the priority for 2024 has to be finding him a receiver who can develop with him.
The Panthers need plenty of roster help, but landing a potential game-changing wide receiver to pair with quarterback Bryce Young is a must.
Carolina would be wise to target Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey with the No. 33 overall selection (assuming McConkey falls that far). The former Georgia standout is one of the best route runners in the draft. And he's got plenty of speed (a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash at the combine).
McConkey could be this year's version of Los Angeles Rams 2023 rookie sensation Puka Nacua.
Landing McConkey with the first pick in the second round would be a huge win for the Panthers.
