Added bonus Diontae is actually 5'10" 180 so we'll get a real world assessment of BY's size in camp. Settle the size mystery once and for all

We know his actual height from the combine.  5'10" 1/8 was the official measurement.

Why would the Steelers basically give him away

Why would we give McCaffrey and DJ Moore away?

Try to enjoy that adults are in the room now

To put things in perspective…I was trolling a Steelers board and they are saying Donte was: 

Healthy in 2023 and had one of his best years

Tackles well for his size

A ball hawk

Small but plays a lot bigger

Still runs a 4.3 40

Team guy who never takes plays off

An excellent punt returner

To be fair he does tackle wel for his size. buuuuut wait until they see him give up 3rd and 26 once a game.

I can’t be the only one that saw him get easily blocked against most runs and he is seriously injury prone.  He takes a lot of plays off and was always a liability.  Just my opinion

Well, that's really not the point, and it somewhat speaks to my point. You don't have to be blazing fast to make it. 4.39 is plenty, especially for a receiver that is quick and has a knack for getting open. Ladd is that guy. Talk about his lack of prototypical size (he's not as small as some or as big as some), or talk about his injuries, but you can't credibly use speed as a reason not to draft him.

I love reading other teams fans talk about our team, you can tell they’ve never watched a panthers game.

Needs:

• Edge (even if we sign one--second rounder)
• Corner (Must be a second rounder unless we sign one) 
• Wide Receiver 
• Tight End 
• Sam LB (to replace YGM)
• Will LB
• Center

I’d probably still go WR with one of the 2nds, but instead of C, I’d go CB or DE with the other 2nd.

True but he has made some really good open field tackles, against RBs too.

I've already told y'all: if McConkey or Mitchell are still on the board, one of them will be ours.

Theilen’s YAC ability is just horrific vs the field.  It is really going to limit the offense having him live in the slot another year
