Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman feels that there is greater depth at the wide receiver position compared to last year in the NFL Draft.

Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman believes that the 2015 Draft will hold a greater amount of depth at the wide receiver position than the selection process in 2014.

Several wideouts were selected in the first round of the 2014 Draft, including Odell Beckham Jr and Kelvin Benjamin, who was picked by the Panthers.

However, despite the quality of last year's prospects, Gettleman thinks that there might be more quality found in the later rounds this year.

"I think we're going to find in time that last year's group was unique, I really do," Gettleman told reporters.

"There's all shapes and sizes, all different styles. I think there's even more depth in this year's group that last year's group, which sounds crazy.

"Part of that is a function of the college game. This group is no different. I don't know that there's a Kelvin [Benjamin] or Michael [Evans] guy this year but there's good, big receivers. There's more depth throughout than there was last year."

The Panthers hold the 25th selection in the first round of the Draft.
