Just check the link and tell me if you still think Coleman can be an X.

Thank you. 

I hate to do this because it is totally unfair to Coleman, but the Benjamin comparisons in my head scare me.  

About Legette- these weaknesses listed on the NFL.com site scare me to death because everyone one of them are things you have to do as a WR in the NFL:

  • Can win the catch phase, but the release and route phases lack polish.  (will never be an X if he can't release-will struggle to get open if he can't run routes)
  • Tennessee’s tight press-man coverage was all over him for much of the game.  (This makes sense considering the other issues--translation--runs a 4.39 40 but plays like he runs a 4.93 40)
  • Rushes through route design rather than selling it to the cornerbacks.  (does not understand timing?)
  • Below-average quickness getting in and out of his breaks.  getting out of breaks creates separation.  Benjamin and Funchess?  Legette has straight line speed but not quickness--that is HUGE)
  • Hits cruise control and waits for jump balls rather than keeping foot on the gas.  (not sure what he is trying to say, but could he mean that he is not a dawg?)

 

I am a Gamecock fan, but I fear he is a "one hit wonder" and a "workout warrior" rolled into one big "ball of bust" (made that last one up myself)

I think it will come down to Legette or Coleman, as has been stated by many people. I think it comes down to who is available. There are some sources that believe Legette could sneak into the 1st round. If he doesn't, I think he is the pick. Coleman is likely next on the board. They are looking for a true X receiver. 

I've seen Leggette everywhere from the teens to 68(3rd round). It actually seems like the closer the draft gets the more he slides.

I don't think it's unfair.  I think you can do it with both the FSU guys this year.  I mean, the following draft profile is on NFL.com.  Is that KB? or Coleman or Walker? 

He’s not sudden and doesn’t have great speed, so beating press and creating breathing room against tight man coverages will depend on his ability to improve as a route-runner.  might lack the athletic traits to be a well-rounded WR2. Instead, keep an eye on him as a big slot receiver who can be a red-zone specialist.

i honestly wouldn't hate it. the guy is a beast. honestly a toss up between him and Leggette if we're going for big bully WRs. 

i want one of them and a separation/route specialist like Pearsall or Malik Washington later. i figure Ladd is going to be gone anyways so i'm not even thinking about him anymore.

Agree with this.

 

Leggette/Coleman are actually my top 2 WRs I want. I don't get the Benjamin comparisons with Coleman. He's faster and much more athletic. Benjamin always had a problem with his weight. Coleman is just a solid tank of muscle.

I get it. Some aren't willing to invest. As for me, I say the risk is worth the reward. He has high upside.

I will say that in the past, I've found the profiles on NFL.com to be very dated (as in a year or more old as far as the main profile). I've seen some with dates before, but maybe they don't do that anymore, or are inconsistent. Moreover, you're not going to find the perfect receiver this far down. In this class, other than maybe the three, they're all going to have some questions and need polishing.

I wouldn't say he's sliding. He was never really rated a first rounder to begin with. Some FO might think he's worth a second, and some may not pull the trigger until the 3rd. But, honestly, that's most of them outside the top three to maybe five.

Honestly, I would rather have Malik Washington and Jermaine Burton on day 3 if we can't get one of the other tier 2/3 guys. 

Burton is interesting.  Seems to have a lot of talent, but is a bit of a headcase.  We do have Young who knew him from High School in Cali and of course played with him in college.  I wonder how he feels about drafting Burton?

He might slip all the way to the fifth-UDFA. I think there's zero chance he lands here but the dude is talented regardless

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
