Panthers picking D.J. Moore sends a message. Here's one he should save for Cam Newton. | Charlotte Observer

It’s hard to argue with the Carolina Panthers choosing wide receiver D.J. Moore in the first round, so I won’t even try.

Moore strikes me as exactly the sort of player the Panthers offense needs as it tries to keep up with the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons — who have taken turns serving as the the gold standard for NFC South offenses over the past two years. And when you pick up a ringing endorsement from former Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith — “They have never been able to replace me — until today” — that’s hard to beat.
