I really like him and I honestly I wouldn't have blinked if he was drafted in the 3rd or 4th rounds. However, I will say that his small hands and drop issues are worrisome. We have enough trouble with drops already lol. I would love it if we could get a sure handed WR. Competition for the 4th and 5th WR spots should be Intense. Brown, Hill, Garrett, Norwood, Bersin and Byrd will be an interesting battle to watch in preseason.

KB, Funch and Ginn are obviously locks.

Its why I want to sign Boldin. KB, Boldin, Ginn, Funchess, Brown, and Garrett would make a nice group of WRs.

Small hands yes, drop issues no. He doesn't have drop issues, you're just pulling that out of your ass. PFF credits him with only two drops on catchable balls for the entire season.

I think people are overlooking Hill. He has been mentioned several times since last year's training camp,  by Gettleman,  Rivera and Cam. 

KB

Funchess 

Ginn 

Hill

Garrett 

Maybe Philly,  if they decide to keep six

Lots of encouraging detail & stats about Garret in the Reception Perception analysis of this year's WR prospects

http://www.thebackyardbanter.com/reception-perception-2016-nfl-draft-prospects-results.html

Over the last several draft classes, the trend of college receivers entering the league with experience lining up on just one side of the field continues emerging. Last year, both Kevin White and Dorial Green-Beckham fit that mold. This year, All four of Kenny Lawler (98.5), Keyarris Garrett (97.6) and Josh Doctson (94.3) took over 94 percent of their Reception Perception sampled snaps from the right wide receiver spot.

...

With such drop problems infecting some of the best receivers in this class, those who make clean catches deserve recognition. Rashard Higgins has some of the best hands in this class on film, and recorded the second lowest drop rate (2.0). Keyarris Garrett is not a perfect player, but has no drop problems in his game. Doctson, Carroo and Sterling Shepard are the shining group of top-level prospects that don’t let drops creep onto their tape. 

....

If you’re looking for arbitrage plays within this draft class, there are two that reveal themselves here with their 72.7 conversion rates. Cal’s Kenny Lawler is quietly one of the best players at winning contested catches, and carries a similar frame to Josh Doctson. Keyarris Garret is just as strong at playing in tight coverage at the catch point, and comes with a similar build to Laquon Treadwell. Teams that miss out on the duo in the first round should consider these potential discounted versions later on in the draft. 

...

Corey Coleman, Malcolm Mitchell and Keyarris Garrett charted out with route trees heavily skewed toward screens, slants, curls or nine-routes. Now, that’s not worth holding against them as prospects, considering that they all posted above average SRVC scores in prior sections. You can only scout a player based on what they were asked to do in college. All three have the athleticism to carve out high-value roles on just those limited routes in the NFL, while Mitchell and Coleman are already ahead of the game from a timing perspective. 

...

Given that Keyarris Garrett also has that massive frame, it was perplexing to see him so regularly go down on first contact. Garrett was out “in space” on 15.8 percent of his routes, the second highest rate in the class, but was brought down on first contact on 69 percent of those attempts. Garrett has the athletic traits and size to be a real threat after the catch, but his NFL team will have to help him develop those into tangible skills.

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
