What exactly is your point and what are you hoping to accomplish? So the team did not draft the guy you wanted? You think Ladd McConkey has no shortcomings? This post demonstrates how you are looking for anything you can to prove that you are all knowing and the Panther general manager and coach are dumb. Is that what you want? Instead of taking the position, "I have no idea how this might work out, fingers crossed." you have decided to go on a witch hunt. Not with you. I hope he balls out enough to cause you to change your username and profile pic.

Legette has not practiced yet, and but the "glass half empty" crowd has decided to get vocal. Good for you guys.

Showing his RAS score may not indicate an obsession. I got it off a Colts site and they all wanted Legette. I guess 2-15 darkens the perspectives of the fan base....I was actually reading an article last night (when we drafted Legette) about how the SF fans booed Jerry Rice his first season.

Please direct me to the WR in this draft that was available at 32 who is not raw in some ways? We really traded up for the contract, not the person. If switching a fifth for a sixth bothers you, you are talking about 23.6 trade value points. Not a big deal. However, if he plays, we could save $15m or so on the fifth year option. It was smart, actually. All first rounders have strengths and weaknesses. Most WRs have never faced press man coverage, and they struggle to do so st first. He is 6'3" and 227--he will overcome it. And being a good athlete is not a crime, even if you are tired of it.

He is a bit raw, and we may have motion him to keep him from strong press man coverage--Tennessee managed to contain him--he caught 5 balls for 50 yards. He was SC's only real threat, so he garnered a lot of attention in 2023. According to his RAS score, he is impressive. I think he will struggle at first, and they will experiment with how to use him. He is good at contested catches and crossing routes.

Go Atlanta!!!

So you think you are a better GM than Morgan? Interesting. It must be frustrating for you.

That CB from Iowa can play the nickel for us and he would be great at it. He can play outside. He can play safety. He can tackle and he is a ball hawk. He or JPJ (Center) would be great, Gonna call the pick: Saintrisil (CB) or Wilson (LB)

Had Buffalo and KC not traded, it would not have gone down. KC would never give up a 5th year option but Morgan and Beane are buddies, so I really believe that BB threw us a bone.

Seriously--3 starters on defense and a WR on offense--that is 4 of 22 starters. We have had Shi, Travelle, Captain, and a few others.

By the way, Cam was great today. Perfect for the red carpet.

Even when Canales said, "We tell that (we are picking you) to everyone" it was as if he was trying to hide his cards after dropping them on the table. That was a rumor that proved to be true. The other rumor is the Panthers will take Mike Saintrisil. if that comes true, they have a problem.

How can you know that you are right? A: You can't. So you didn't like the pick--can you support the team and the player?

Nobody can really understand this pick until the see the offense and how he will be used. So bitching is premature. XL is high risk high reward--and they did their homework. I am willing to see what he can do

Some just want to bitch. I think this was an incredibly smart move by Morgan--well worth the late round pick swap--and I think XL has a ton of upside and potential--probably more than the others yet to be drafted.

Moving up (trading a fifth rounder for a sixth) gave us a fifth year option--well worth it when you see that WRs are making over $30m now. As for the "better available" comment--not everyone agrees with you. I saw him mocked in the first round by some. He had a wide range. Do you know how or where they plan to use him? 220 lbs, over six feet tall, good hands, and runs a sub 4.4. I get it that he is a bit unknown, but it sounds like the Panthers did their howework. Sounds like he really wants to be here. I think you will change your mind soon.

So give us a technical analysis of XL's limitations and how you have already determined that he is not up to your standards of excellence. I guarantee your response will totally avoid what most would consider a sufficient, intelligent response.

I think its sadly humorous how some Huddlers are already calling him a bust (in so many words). Unreal.

This is the e list i put together. I removed the six players I thought would be drafted before 39: BOLD: Probably gone by 39-- B Cooper DeJean DT Johnny Newton WR Adonai Mitchell WR Ladd McConkey CB Kool-Aid McInstry DT Braden Fisk This is what we have left (approximately). If you want C, and JP-J is there, we are lucky. I do not think they will draft a Center. The best edge is available, but I do not see them pulling that trigger either. The CBs are solid and there are a lot of good ones, but I think the ILB pool is so limited and the best ILBs are possibly available here. There are seven "second tier" CBs listed, and it is probably unlikely that seven CBs go in round 2...meaning that a CB on the second tier level should be there at 65. EDGE Marshawn Kneeland. C Jackson Powers-Johnson CB Enis Rakestraw LB Edgerrin Cooper LB Payton Wilson CB T J Tampa LB Junior Colson CB Max Melton CB Mike Saintrilsil CB Kamari Lassiter Personally, I think I would draft Edgerrin Cooper or Payton Wilson at 39. Then I would draft a CB at 65. I might draft the C instead of a LB, but I am not getting a decent ILB after round 2.

Me too, but someone described how screwed up the situation at SC was--Folks, Xavier wanted to be here--he wanted to be near his remaining family. Great story. I think he will be moved around--like a Deebo. Wonder how much of this is related to the new Kickoff rules--XL was a kick returner.

If KC and Buffalo had not swapped picks, we'd never have moved up. Brandon Bean did his buddy Morgan a solid. Swapping an fifth for a sixth and getting the fifth year option was brilliant--

I made the same comment to my son. When that big OT picked him up (calling it tradition) they had been told not to do that---Goodell looked to be in pain. I wonder if he did not take a pain pill after that.

I agree that Bryce's performance was very poor last year. But I deal with people in my line of work that attack the symptoms and ignore the central problem. Maybe Bryce is the central problem, but maybe most good QBs would have failed miserably here last year.

Height is all everyone here seems to be focused on. Payton describes a process, and Bryce has not been through the process--they will factor his weaknesses and build around his strenghts--that is all Payton is saying. His arm strength is what it is but his accuracy was never the issue at Bama. Here, there are reasons for accuracy issues, such as throwing to covered WRs with a blitz in the face. I am not predicting a miracle recovery, and maybe all we can get from him is what Miami got from Tua....but I want to see the process before writing him off.
