uhh...I don't know that they fill any needs. McCaffrey is not a wide receiver. And he doesn't have the bulk to be a bell cow (or workhorse, or whatever fricking farm animal you want). Peppers can't rush the passer, can't cover, can't play SS. I haven't seen much tape on him, but from what I have seen, I am not impressed. He should have been a RB but he isn't. He's a hyper-athletic player without a position.

As much as I like McCaffrey, these picks fill none of our needs besides returner and good rb depth.

Nope, McCaffrey is a true dual threat his route running ability is better than majority of WR's in this draft.

The thing is... He isn't a wide out but he performs as one. He plays the slot and has extensive knowledge of the route tree. He has plenty of experience as a wide out as well he was used as one at Stanford.  

Easily,  he can make this bland offense potent. Dare I say not even Shula can fug this up.

McCaffery very well could get plenty of snaps from the slot. He can be put in the backfield, or in motion. There are a plethora of options to get him the ball in space.

 

We very well could be looking at 1500-2000 all purpose yards here. He has that level of talent. If they want the guy, take him.

 

As for Peppers. The kid is a thumper, and never misses a tackle. He is a football player, with outlandish talent and ability. He is probably the 3rd best S in this class. Do not underestimate this kid.

 

As much as I abhor UofM, I would take Peppers in a heartbeat. Thankfully, or not, we won't get a chance to draft him.

Man, my giddy goes into overdrive thinking about what McCaffery could bring to this Offense.

 

That said. The only player I would take over him would be a Stud DE. There are only 3 of those. So it will be interesting for me as this whole process plays out.

      yeah, but the actual jersey Bryce Young is wearing is not the same jersey you are buying from Fanatics.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
