But does he have that DAWG in him?

 

Legette does. Smitty had huge input on this pick like I mentioned before. He even said we were gonna pick him. Panthers saw something in him obviously.

Smitty also told the Panthers to pick Mingo.

I'm not having a meltdown about the pick, I don't watch college and don't know any of these guys outside of highlight Youtubes, but yeah Smitty is not a great scout.

A cup of coffee in the morning you will feel a lot better about this pick tomorrow morning trust me.

If you've read my posts you should understand I take a pretty even keel approach and have been warming myself up to Legette.  Pick the hyperbolizing "you're freaking out" argument with someone else or get lost. 

Really shouldn't bother anyone if I don't like the pick.  I can be wrong and it's just football anyways, I don't mind admitting it.

I really want to like this pick but JPJ was right there and could easily have been the Ryan Kalil for the next decade. 

I still think there's a decent chance JPJ falls to our next pick. There's been a lot of lineman already taken and we know there will be a receiver run at the start of the second.

I was down on the Mingo pick even when Smitty suggested him.

 

Legette film is much more impressive. He can take a bubble screen and break for 80. Mingo wasn't that kind of WR. He also didn't look as explosive as Legette.

Trade up for a guy that would’ve been there tomo

the more things change the more they stay the same 

My dude, they swapped their 5th rounder for a 6th rounder to be able to get a 5th year option.  The trade is basically non-existent

Even Smith had him ranked as his wr #9 with much higher ranked true wr on the board still.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      They're pretty far off, double T-Mac's stats to get to the same targets as XL and it would be 4 drops to 7.  A 3 drop difference might not sound like a lot, but it's still almost twice as many drops on the same number of targets. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, XL's drop problems last year seemed more down field, where he was dropping passes he should be making and it was clear his poor hands were there reason he dropped them. And weren't both of T-Mac's drops this year on quick hitters with blockers out in front of him?  I know at least the second one was as he was going to go for a huge play and maybe a TD on it. To me, and yes, I'd say this about any other player, those are drops because a rookie was trying to do too much in making a play before securing the catch.  Much easier to improve upon a lapse in concentration than dropping passes because you have bricks for hands and body catch more often than hands catch, like with XL. And yes, 100%, which is why I wasn't one of those people you were referring to with talking about him that way last year.  Yes, I said he had drop problems., because he did, but I didn't think they were unsolvable and expected to see great improvement this year after an offseason of hitting the juggs machine (unfortunately not sure that happened though).
