4th round

Laviska Shenault will either be one of the top three receivers from this class or out of the NFL entirely in a few years. There’s seemingly no in-between evaluation of the former Colorado wideout.

Shenault is an explosive wide receiver who happens to be built like a power running back. Despite his build, durability is a major issue and I think that plus a lack of team visits due to the impact of COVID-19, could really hurt his draft stock.

As a result, the Panthers see a fantastic fourth-round value and grab Shenault to add to their already-potent offense.

With all the weapons already in the fold for Carolina, the team could start out utilizing Shenault as a gadget-type player for 15-20 snaps per game on offense and as a returner on special teams.
