Idk what some are seeing, but it’s different from what I am. His highlight reel shows a very fluid and shifty guy, especially for his size. Yes, I’m sure bc of his size, he will excel on streaks and seams, but even the profile they did on him after the pick, they both said and showed that he can run all of the routes. He has great feet and fluid movement outside of his straight-line speed.

Considering our schedule if Bryce doesn't start throwing for 220 plus a game it looks that way

That phone call to Brazzell got me in the feels! Let's goo young man!!!

I wonder where Canales envisions his position. At first I thought tall slot guy with that speed, but maybe the vision truly is to have Coker operate out of the slot. Wide/Perimeter Rate: ~85.9% - 90%+ Slot Rate: ~13%

I agree. it also builds a foundation for the next guy to step in and excel right away.

Yeah. Swapping those late picks like that is how they get to those one point margins. It is a common and convenient thing. I mean I don’t worry about any of those picks outside the 4th really. Such long shots…

Fair, and that was my first post on the pick as well, that I like the speed, but it seems more straight line and not quick twitch in the slot. Which is why I'm wondering if they're higher on Horn Jr than we might have thought. If he can be that guy for us it would be great, as we still have him on a cheap deal for 3 more years and that's the type of guy you just replace instead of extend when you have the studs on the outside like T-Mac, Coker, and maybe Brazzell.

And enough guys for Pickett to get a lot of work with, not a huge fan but if he's lighting it up in preseason while they coddle Bryce on the bench it could get interesting

From Tennessee alone that flamed out: Jaylin Hyatt (I got fooled on that one) 3-4 years ago. Wait that's the giants with Jones so gotta be the team not the player right? Cedric Tillman is another from UT that again isn't living up to the combine or college hype. Another 3rd rounder. Wait it's the browns so gotta be 100% the team there not the player. Dont'e Thornton just last year put up a similar combine at similar size. Later pick. Didn't light it up but what that's gotta be 100% the raiders? Let's be real, Metcalf would snap this guy in half they aren't comparable at all. London was more a tactician in college than a burner like Brazzell or the tenn guys before him. Dude is 198 vs DK at 228 when he blew up the combine (and is a bigger unit now).

Ain’t no one replacing Coker. Most sure handed receiver we have.

This vibe from this draft is opening up to us having a disaster season and drafting in the top 5 for a new QB and then bouncing back in 2027 with a hotshot new QB and weapons

And 3, teams weren't afraid of XL making the catch anyways so they didn't bother keeping a safety deep. Also, even with the speed XL has, it's not like he ever really just beats the defense on go routes, Brazzell's highlight reel looks like he will do that.

We need more defense. This draft sucks.

He was asked how he felt about the team moving up to get him. Said his response was he will run through a brick wall for them. I kind of liked that.

Not twitchy enough--neither one of them as far as I'm concerned. That's why I don't like the pick.

I guess they tried that with XL but realized 1. BY doesn't wanna throw that very often, and 2. He definitely doesn't want to throw those to XL for him to jump 1 second early or jump out of bounds, whatever else head scratching that XL has done with timing and routes/boundary awareness lol.

Shoot. Totally forgot we signed Metchie. Gonna be a heck of a camp battle for a handful of guys at receiver.

The thought of this is so tantalizing. Bring in a strong armed replacement for Bryce and it would fully unlock all 3 of T-Mac, Coker, and Brazzell. It would open up T-Mac's downfield jump ball threat like he was in college with Brazzell's speed taking the top off, both of which would then open up the middle of the field for Coker to feast.

I don't know, it just feels wrong to not come out of this draft with a green dot ILB, when there were an abnormal amount of them in the first few rounds. Draft would have been an A+ for me if we took Hill Jr. in the 2nd and a nose in the 3rd. I'm just not excited about yet another project WR - this organization really doesn't have a great track record with those

Chris has been a Panthers fan for years

How can you pass on a player that answers you like that. I love it.

I mean stank right?!

Sweep’em. But goddamn….play hard as balls. Crush them.

We spent a bit of time with Sawyer Robertson and LSU quarterback. Both mobile. I would say 4th but Dan did say they wanted a developmental guy. I'd keep an eye on them tomorrow.

lol true
