Way to find something to complain about during what’s looking like a successful draft. Cheers

Check our contracted WRs for 2026 and you’ll see a huge need.

Got poo slung at me for this post last week. lol

I love it

No one in Charlotte should be worried about Sanders being in New Orleans.

Depends on how far we trade down in the 1st

Walker/Stewart>Mykel on EDGE for me I’d still like to add TMac. The only two WRs we have contracted beyond this year are XL and Coker (ERFA). Moving forward with TMac and those two feels much better.

I don’t think Dave wants a repeat of last year when XL announced to the world he was our target. I think he wants to throw people off the scent more this year, which makes me think TMac might be the pick if he’s available. No one would feel really good about our WR room right now. A second-year WR with a lot to prove, a promising second-year UDFA, a WR who’s about to retire, and David Moore. The only reason you talk about being satisfied with that room is if you truly think you’ve found studs in XL & Coker, or you’re hoping a WR falls to you in the draft.

I wouldn’t hate it. He flashes on film similar to Brian Branch.

Give me Tet

What if it works out in a big way? Sure doesn’t hurt anything to take the swing.

We shall see

I think it’s far too early to know which side of the scale Shemar Stewart will land. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a top 10 EDGE in 3-4 years. I also wouldn’t be surprised if he has a career like YGM.

Thanks for this excellent post OP. We definitely upgraded our DL this year like we did our IOL last year. Hopefully we’ll see similar results.

In that range, I’d prefer Jayden Higgins or Kyle Williams. Two different types of WRs. Select Williams to replace AT if we feel good about XL/Coker. Select Higgins if we’re still unsure about XL/Coker.

What do you make of him apparently ranking #1 in FBS in time to first pressure?

Need an OT

If we draft well at OLB this year, no one on that list is a must keep outside of maybe Moton.

Yea, I didn’t say I expect it. Ha But it would be nice.

I was talking about 2026. We need to draft at least one OLB and get them in our program so they can hit the ground running when Clowney/Wonnum’s contracts expire.

Agreed. The only OLBs we have under contract for 2026 are DJ Johnson and newly acquired Patrick Jones. It would be great if Johnson made some noise this year.

Higgins won’t be there past Rd 2 imo

I get it. It’s no slam dunk. I think TMac would be for our team. Moving forward in 2026 with a core of 3rd year XL/Coker & 2nd year TMac for Bryce sounds nice. I think Stewart is the better prospect than Mykel though. From what I see on film, Stewart’s first step is much better than his.

The counter argument could be that he was playing around 20-30lbs heavier than his ideal playing weight. I don’t know this to be true, but it’s possible he lost some agility/flexibility beefing up to play his role.
