I’m pretty sure we have one of the most expensive lines in the league.

I can’t believe Troy Franklin hasn’t been drafted. I guess his lack of physicality is really turning teams off  

Just how much Miami has fallen, that’s the first Hurricane drafted.

Excuse for what? I think most fans expect Bryce to take a big step this year, but we still have a bottom 10 roster in terms of talent. 

Idc about day 3 picks being traded, anything after the third round is a crapshoot.

I wanted a WR but we did need a RB

He scares me as a late bloomer, but we need all the help we can get. If he can develop his route running he could be a legit X receiver. I still want to double dip 

wtf did we trade? It better not be any pick in the first 3 rounds 

Troy Franklin keeps falling 

I’m all for double dipping at WR with our 2 first pick. Our offense needs to be the main priority this draft.

Ridiculous trade 

I want Franklin or Burton, we need some speed. I wouldn’t mind Lagette or Ladd but we already have similar receivers on the roster.

That’s a dumb trade, we have the premier pick in the second round and we trade down for what will most likely be a downgrade next year draft. We need to stop trading period and take the best WR with that first pick in the second round

I’m on draft 2 WR in the second, forget defense until day 3 

Troy Franklin and Burton 

Lockett is much faster than Wilson. Kupp and Ladd aren’t that much similar. I think Ladd is more like Jeudy 

He had a really good year last season

Williams didn’t get a lot of separation before his injury I don’t know how he will bounce back so I rather the team not pay him big money. I rather sign Odell for cheap 

We have Dalton why would we need Fields? We get it you don’t like Bryce

I'm not sure that that's true. Here is an interesting chart 

https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2023/8/16/23835071/are-players-drafted-at-age-21-more-likely-to-be-late-bloomers

Honestly, I don't think age really has much to do with their long term viability as a receiver.

I really can't find any information about your claim. I did see some things about late bloomers having an advantage in sports in general, but nothing necessarily about the NFL. I certainly wouldn't let that stop me from drafting a player if I thought he was the best available. That being said, Legette is intriguing. He needs some polish according to draft profiles, but he is not without talent. I can't wait to hear what we think about him.

That chart has to do with age not WR who were late bloomers in college. I can’t really find a comp for a guy who did basically nothing 4 years in college was good one season then went on to be a good WR in the pros. And I’m not against draft him cause we need all the help we can get but I’m still cautious with him as a prospect

He ain't the first and won't be the last. Sometimes, particularly under some coaches, players have to wait their turn. It's not uncommon as you should very well know. Just like you can make the most negative spin on it that you can, I can easily say that when he did get the opportunity, he outplayed everyone else, so much so that he put himself in a position to go probably in the second round (with an oustide chance to go in the first). So, there's that. How are you going to fault him for that?

Who is faulting him?  I said I don’t know what to make of him. It wasn’t until he was 22/23 that he started getting a bunch of snaps and a lot of late college bloomers don’t translate to the pros that well

Outplayed? What in the world? He was made a QB his senior year in high school because the QB went down and the coach was in a pinch. As he was the best athlete on the team, the coach made him the QB. That's not being outplayed, it's being moved due to necessity. 

Go back and read my first comment I said he was outplayed for snaps in college. Which he was

He started turning it on at the end of the prior year when you know….the Gameock QB actually started to throw the ball. 

Prior to that, a raw/developing WR player didn’t have much to a place on bad pass O.   Like I said that starts getting into the window they were pulling coaches to be the QB at Carolina. 

Everyone’s timeline is different.  2023 matters  way more than 2021. 

 

A lot of college teams have terrible passing games, that didn’t stop the other SC receivers from producing atleast a little. I would expect a 23 year old to beat out some teenager

That’s not completely true. He was a dual threat QB that moved to wide receiver. He didn’t get outplayed, he never played the position before college. 

He played WR in HS also but his coach moved him to QB his senior year. So yes he was outplayed

maybe a Gamecock fan can speak on it....but from a Clemson fans perspective, once they basically opened Spencer Rattler up to pass at the end of 2022.....Leggette started to blossom.  

Before that?  I mean Gamecocks were starting grad assistants at QB that were supposed to be on staff and dudes you wouldn't really call SEC passers like Doty IMO.    It wasn't really a place to highlight someone like Leggette who IMO fits more aggressive pass play. 

Problem is he was barely seeing the field before this year, that means he was getting outplayed by other WR for reps 

Don’t know what to make of him, he didn’t do squat his previous 4 years. He's a physical specimen, but doesn’t really run great routes
