According to Legette, Panthers will draft Legette at #33

Reading between the lines, I see Legette as a person who wants to come to Carolina and maybe he is trying to control the narrative.  I would never tell a player being picked at 33 that he is the pick--what if we get a great trade offer?  What if a Thomas, Mitchell, or Ladd is there?  "Oh well, we promised Legette..."  Not buying it.

I mean I dont think he is outright lying about being told that.  That would be pretty wild if he did

[Bear Hands]

We need instant contributors, not developmental types so he better be ready if he’s the pick. No more TMJ or Mingo jamokes. Come in and produce day 1 like most WRs these days taken within the first 3-4 rounds.

I forgot to add who I think that we will take (can't edit my post).  Now, this is the negative side of me based on the history of this franchise.

#33 Legette

#39 Sainristil

#65 Brooks/Benson

I just posted this yesterday.  My cynical side was showing when I made this, saying 'prove to me this is a NEW thinking Panthers front office' and until then we will continue to stupid sh*t in the draft.

If we did tell him that and then don't draft him and word gets out that we were lying to prospects, that could hurt us in the undrafted free agent area.  I think he is paraphrasing--maybe they said something like, "We'd love to have you as an option at 33."

He was most likely told "We'd love to have you on the team." and he added that extra bit. We wouldn't even tell Bryce last year that he was going to be #1 overall, we're not going to tell a guy we're going to draft him at #33 without knowing how the draft is going to play out.

Player aside— To have this type of tunnel vision again is concerning from the GM.

Kid had one good year in 5, is a sloppy route runner that needs work on his footwork and technique.  Not sure what the hell Morgan and co would be thinking if he is the pick at 33.  39 maybe but still feels too high.  33 should be a player that should be able to start sooner rather then later

It just blows my mind that a team of scouts, doctors, etc. and hours of film study and character inquiries etc. and they still blow it. We have been Fitterered and that must have some lingering trauma.  Surely Morgan is not going to reach and gamble. 

I believe that P. Wilson will be a pick on day 2 at some point.  That scares me too.  Maybe he and Horn can get matching exercise bikes.

If absolutely true--yes.  I don't believe it.  In fact, this could be a character issue--a red flag--even if they did tell him that, you don't go around telling everyone how often you met or what they said to you.  Stupid.

They probably won’t appreciate him saying this. That may change the plans 

Why TF would he (or the team for that matter) advertise that???

I smell BS!

I doubt the kid is outright lying

Teams like the Chiefs can reach for project players because they have the depth and and team infrastructure to allow a kid to grow for a couple of seasons.   WE DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY.   This team needs as many immediate contributors as possible.  So taking this dude over McConkey would be absolutely retarded.  That said, it probably will happen.
