Surprised on Leggette’s ranking just based on many mocks having him going in the 1st half of the 2nd round all the way to some having the Bills/Chiefs taking him. 
 

I just hope if we take one of these dudes we hit on him. We need weapon talent more than any team in the NFL. 

Mock drafters see his measurables, check last year's stats, and just assume he's a really good prospect. I just think he has a lot of questions marks and isn't a good fit stylistically for what Bryce needs anyway. 

Bummed to hear that McConkey seems highly sought after. I agree that he's the best fit for us and Bryce. I also really like Polk and he might be a lot more realistic. Starting to seem like a long shot that McConkey will be an option for us.

Yeah, I like his skill set, but I’m not sure he’s what we need…. Now I think him in KC he’d do hella damage with Mahomes… I guess that’s any good receiver though lol. 

I like him, he's fun to watch, but he makes me nervous if he's the only WR we walk away with.  

We're going to be flexing Dionte inside and out.  And then you've got Thielen who's better suited for slot but has slowed down and you can't bank on Mingo filling a roll consistently.    

It's why I think we need the guys that are technically advanced enough to put outside, create separation (not just be a 50/50 guy), and roll into motion inside and can be a chain mover with big play ability.  For me, it's why I lean towards AD, McConkey, Franklin, and Pearsall (to a degree).  But then, let's say, we land McConkey for example, absolutely turn around and see if we can grab Legette.  His upside could be much more interesting to land than a guy like Corley, D Walker, Javon Baker, or J Burton.

Thanks for posting.

I still want a center more than any other position. The Panthers don't have one and need somebody that can start there more than they need WRs, DEs, or whatever else. And a guy that couldn't cut it at center for other teams isn't going to magically be a good starting center for the Panthers either.

I love how Legette is said to have D.K. Metcalf type speed but is also compared to Jonathan Mingo, who has nothing close to that.

People compared Mingo to AJ Brown and Metcalf before anyone here knew Legette...so when they see Legette compared to AJ and DK, there's an obvious correlation - it doesn't hold a ton of water, because the original comp in 2022 was a bit meh, just marginal.

It was mainly because of Mingo coming from the AJ/DK Ole Miss factory and having similar body types.  You're right though, different types of guys.  Mingo didn't have Legette's top speed and hand catching/extension skills.  Was also in a really basic offense at Ole Miss.

The Ole' Miss offense was probably like quantum physics compared to what Reich had us running last year.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
