That was Smitty’s comp, not mine. DK is one of the biggest athletic freaks to ever play WR, so having someone who’s “close” athletically is still impressive. 
 

Legette is closer to AJ Brown athletically, imo. Here’s a comparison of those players at the nfl combine and Legette from the senior bowl:


DK / AJ Brown / Legette

Height: 6’3 / 6’0 / 6’1

Weight: 228 / 226 / 223

Fastest game speed (mph): 22.6 / 22.1? / 22.3

Arm Length: 34&7/8 ; 32&7/8 ; 31&5/8

Hand size: 9&7/8 ; 9&3/4 ; 8&7/8

 

I could see Brown more,  I'm just not a fan of Legette.  I dont want to see a guy being good at contested catches in college.  In college i want to see them getting open and creating seperation.   Guys who make a lot of contested catches in college really struggle to create any seperation in the nfl.

I did and he'll likely regress this season.  Again, Moore has his moments, but isn't a consistent force.

4 1,000 yard seasons in 6 years (and one of the years he was below 1,000 he only started 10 games as a rookie).  Just finished 6th in receiving yards and tied for 8th in TDs.

Lol, its crazy that people after all this time still downplay DJ. He consistently put up 1000 yard seasons with some of the worst QB play imaginable, and then goes to Chicago where WRs go to die and puts up almost 1400 yards. Is he a top 3 WR? No, but its not like he was a top ten pick, if you can get a DJ Moore late in the 1st round you would take that everytime.

He was literally ranked like the #130th receiver as far as getting open last season. 

Curious what stat you're using to track that.  If you are using separation, you couldn't be more wrong.  Here are the WR separation stats for people who were around the same separation as Mingo last year.  It's not a bad crowd.  Slightly more separation than DJ Moore, DeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson if you're keeping track at home.  Slight less separation than Stefon Diggs, Brandon Aiyuk and Puka Nakua.

I honestly want us to draft at least 2 WR and create a young, hungry WR room who push each other instead of more of the Veteran remix we keep trying.  Take the GB strategy and see who pushes up.  This is a deep class and we have massive needs there - we should take a strong group IMO since it would be a huge, cheap win if it works.

I agree with him about Corley---we NEED a YAC guy.

I agree with Verge about Washington from UVA, but I would want him around the late third early fourth.  Do not go to sleep on CMC's little brother at Rice--the type of guy who gets better with age and stays in the NFL for 40 years.  Not sure about his skill set, but his hands look good.  Bloodlines alone worth a flyer on him.

Are we seriously writing off Mingo after one year.  Rookie WRs rarely explode their first year in the NFL.  

 

especially with the situation he was thrown in to.  A lot of our recent draft picks have looked bad, but consider how many coaches and coordinators they've been handed.  Some of these guys have had 2 different head coaches in the same season twice.  We need stability to give these guys a chance to get better.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      I have said if you out even an average QB into the offense we are averaging 25+ points a game. But that will never happen with Bryce under center.

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.
