Panthers Working Hard Scouting Allen Robinson in Hours Left Before Draft
Late 1st-Rder RT @Rand_Getlin: The #Panthers are traveling for a last minute meeting with former #PennState WR Allen Robinson, per a source.

Dave Gettleman said that the scouts wouldn't have any time off before the draft. Looks like he wasn't kidding. The Panthers need to have a strong draft this year to build on the momentum of last year's success. With a receiver core full of aging vets and unproven and mysterious rookies, the Panthers will certainly need to make some important additions to the offense. C3 has been on the Allen Robinson bandwagon for sometime. Prior to the combine, we forecasted him as Carolina's potential 1st Rd pick months ago. His poor combine performance sent hurt his stock substantially. He would be a great value at #60 if he was still around, and it looks like Carolina recognizes that potential. He is a big body play-maker that can blossom into something special catching balls in Carolina. Check C3's write-up on the Penn St. prospect,
"Carolina Panthers' 1st Rd Draft Surprise: Allen Robinson, WR."
What do you think about this tweet? Do you think this means that we are not looking at receiver in the 1st or that we may be willing to expend a 1st Rd pick on Robinson? Kind of hard to read, but I will be happy if Robinson lands in Carolina! I'm just not sure if he will still be hanging around when the
+Carolina Panthers are on the board at 60.
