I just listened to the Aaron Duncan video there with Damien Pierce where they were talking about the whole Xavier Legette versus Jonathan Mingo debate.  Interesting to get a sort of dispassionate view of these guys.  The more scouting reports I read about Legette, I'm totally down with drafting him.  I think he opens up a lot of options for Bryce in the short and intermediate areas.

Then again, I have no idea how/what the team is doing.  I'd love to see one of the QBs slide to round two so we could pick up some more picks.  I'm totally down for picking the most impactful player on the board, not just messing around to pick who we think we need.

I don't care about getting open when it comes to certain WR's. This guy is a tank and he's fast. You can't teach that. Throw him the ball in his area and he will go get it.

 

If he's on the board I will be pissed if we pass on him. He's DK Metcalf like. Don't think twice about it.

 

*Also people are forgetting we just traded for Johnson who is one of the best WR's at creating seperation. Draft the best WR on the board point blank.

This is off topic a bit, but I’ll toss it out there. Rattler made some nice throws in those clips. If he’s on the board in the 4th (or even the 5th) should we roll the dice? 

He’s got a better arm than Bryce Young. He definitely has chemistry with Leggette. If we did take Leggette in round 2, I think it would be hard to pass on Rattler if he’s still on the draft board late on day 3. Thoughts?

He's literally a threat to break tackles and take it 80. Look at these highlights and tell me this guy isn't a freak of nature.

 

 

Some of those highlights remind me of Moore

Agree. In a world that placed ability above all, why don’t you want someone to challenge your crappy QB? That isn’t sweating his starting spot one bit.

To me the bar is low and you don’t have to spend much to upgrade him, do it.

edit: If they aren’t going to play Dalton or even have competition, I don’t care to have him on the team. Put someone in that roster spot that can develop into something and get him ready to compete next season.

I just can't understand why some here says the kid can't get open. They obviously want to see what they want to see. 

Pair him up with someone that can hit him in stride on slants or out routes and he could take it to the house on any given play. Throw up a jump ball somewhere in his area code, and he's going to catch it. There is a whole helluva lot of potential there---more than most. 

I'm not saying there aren't other guys who may not turn out better around the last third of round one or the first half of round two, but you have to know that they aren't as physical, explosive, or have as good of hands as Legette. Some of them are very much stick figures who can be pressed, rerouted, and just dogged all the way through the route, but that's not in Legette's DNA.

I just hope he's still on the board. A guy with his talent usually goes early in the 1st. Luckily this is a deep WR class so he might quietly drop to us in the 2nd.

I think I would take Legette over the Texas WRs.

Definitely over the other Xavier. Not sure I'd take Leggette over AD. AD is a master of DB manipulation.

I think I'd Mitchell and Mcconkey over Leggette.

I've got Leggette on the same level as Pearsall. Maybe a little higher depending on my mood.

No matter who we get, I wouldn't be happy with us just taking one. No way I'd be happy taking Leggette without having another top 15-20 WR with him. You bundle him with at the very least Burton and I'm down.

All that said I really like him and think he's going to be really good.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      Man.... you all have been ruined by Rhule and Fitt.  Take a moment to look back at areas where we improved and try to grasp on a glimmer of hope and optimism....   Week 1: Sept. 8 at New Orleans  (L) 0-1 I think, all things being equal, we split our divisional opponents.  The Saints are not scary, are not coached well, and are going to get old all at once.  However, being in the Superdome for the first game of the year I lean in to homefield advantage causing us to have a few careless mistakes at the wrong time.  Close game, 27-24 Saints  Week 2: Sept 15 vs. Los Angeles Chargers (W) 1-1 The Chargers have lots of work to do.  This game comes down to one main factor; can we stop the run.  I think our defense, at least at the beginning of the season will be firing on all cylinders.  Close game again, but this time we get the W 24 - 18 Panthers Week 3: Sept 22 at Las Vegas  (W) 2-1 I am a HUGE Gardner Minshew fan, but I don't believe the Raiders are much better than we are.  So long as we don't get beat up by their tight ends all game, I think we should be the better team if we pound the rock.  W - 24-21 Panthers Week 4: Sept. 29 vs. Cincinnati  (L) 2-2 This is going to be a reality check.  We feel good being over .500 for the first time since I can remember.  They are just better.  L - 31-21 Bengals Week 5: Oct. 6 at Chicago (W) 3-2 This is a PRIDE game.  We want it more. W - 24 - 15 Panthers Week 6: Oct. 13 vs. Atlanta (W) 4- 2 This is our turn to get a home W in our division.  Flacons are either going to be pretty good, or a huge bust.  Either way I think they will be susceptible for an upset here and there.  We weren't too far off from beating them last year.   W 27 - 24 Panthers Week 7: Oct. 20 at Washington  (W) 5 - 2  Their defense is good, Offense is a work in progress.... Sound familiar?  This will be bowling shoe ugly but I think we run it better than they do.  W 17 - 12 Panthers Week 8: Oct. 27 at Denver (L) 5-3 If this was at home I would choose us, but I don't see us winning at Mile High.  I will stick with the copy and past analysis on this one.  LSS - we cannot escape our cure of Sean Peyton. L 24 - 18 Broncos Week 9: Nov. 3 vs. New Orleans (W) 6 - 3 Home game, bad team, we win.  W - 27 - 24 Panthers Week 10: Nov. 10 vs. N.Y. Giants (Munich, Germany) (W) 7 - 3 The Giants have an improved pass rush and a rookie WR.  That is their strength.  I think we will be better prepared.  W - Panthers 27 - 21 Week 11: Nov. 17 BYE Week 12: Nov. 24 vs. Kansas City (L) 7 - 4 We'll get crushed, and hit the downward trajectory of our season starting now....  L Chiefs - 34 - 21 Week 13: Dec. 1 vs. Tampa Bay (L) 7 - 5 We are licking our wounds from the KC game and it shows up in the box score.  L - Bucs 24 - 15 Week 14: Dec 8 at Philadelphia (L) 7- 6 I think we give them a game, but come up short in the end.  L - Eagles 32 - 24 Week 15: Dec: 15 vs. Dallas (L) 7 - 7 I want to pick an upset here.  No Dan Quinn, Lots of pressure for Dallas, they have been really healthy for a long time.  But common sense prevails, they are better.  L - Cowboys 24 - 21 Week 16: Dec. 22 vs. Arizona (W) 8 - 7 Get right game, but a tough one.  We need this one to calm the huddle down.  W - Panthers 28 - 24 Week 17: Dec. 29 at Tampa Bay (W) 9 - 7 TB is right where we are.  This is our 50/50 spilt  W - 22 - 25 Week 18: Jan. 4 or 5 at Atlanta (L) 9 - 8 Falcons win the division.  We show improvement from much better coaching and offensive line play.  The Huddle is calms down, but like always is not happy. Full League Prediction: Prepare the poop emojis!!!!!

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By d-dave · Posted

      The problem that Bryce faces is his lack of prototypical tools.  He's not the tall, strong armed mobile QB that tends to get drafted first overall.  His game is not played in underwear on a practice field.  His best asset are his intangibles.  They aren't sexy like a cannon arm or a fast 40 yard dash. OK, so we took the lesser athlete.  Bryce put up a pretty bad season with a bad team around him.  The coaching staff, for all it's platitudes, sucked.  They made sure Bryce could run a huddle, but didn't help him get better as a player.  Bad choice. Compare that to what other teams did to their Rookies:  they put them in position to succeed with better personnel and better play calling.  Sure, there are physical differences which are going to affect the outcomes, but you can't change it. Am I trying to ride to the defense of Bryce?  Only a little.  He's my favorite team's QB, and I believe in him.  Now, he's got this year to show that he's "the No. 1 for a reason" (Thanks CJ Stroud).  Will he, won't he?  I don't know at all.  That's on the D&D crew to put Bryce is position to play well.  Running the ball is going to make things a lot easier for Bryce.  Does that discount his success if he plays well?  For some of y'all it will.  Some of y'all just don't like Bryce, like he stole you DoorDash or something. Regardless, let's see what happens in 2024.  If Bryce stinks it up, then we're going back to the QB well again.

      we may think we know, but we don't know. we won't know what effect upgrades on the OL, coaching staff, and WR room will have. we don't know what scheme canales is going to put together. we don't know a lot of things.  that's why we play the games...to see what shakes out. plenty of reasons to think Bryce is limited this year...again. Plenty of reasons to see an improvement in his play.
