Calvin Ridley, other top WRs visit as Panthers focus on key position

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers will select a wide receiver in the upcoming NFL draft. This you can all but bank on.

Whether it will be with the No. 24 overall pick or in the next three rounds is the question. But this week furthers the argument that general manager Marty Hurney isn't done retooling a position that was a major weakness last season.

He brought in three receivers -- Alabama's Calvin Ridley, Maryland's D.J. Moore and Memphis' Anthony Miller -- for official visits this week. Christian Kirk of Texas A&M also has a visit scheduled, and wide receivers coach Lance Taylor reportedly flew to Penn State to meet with DaeSean Hamilton.
