Not a bust but moving up with better available is Panthering.

  Moving up (trading a fifth rounder for a sixth) gave us a fifth year option--well worth it when you see that WRs are making over $30m now.  As for the "better available" comment--not everyone agrees with you.  I saw him mocked in the first round by some.  He had a wide range.  Do you know how or where they plan to use him?  220 lbs, over six feet tall, good hands, and runs a sub 4.4.  I get it that he is a bit unknown, but it sounds like the Panthers did their howework. Sounds like he really wants to be here.  I think you will change your mind soon.

Some of yall b*tch about trading 1 spot up to get XL then think about Atlanta use 8th overall to pick Penix while they signed 4 yrs with Coursins......

Some just want to bitch.  I think this was an incredibly smart move by Morgan--well worth the late round pick swap--and I think XL has a ton of upside and potential--probably more than the others yet to be drafted.

Amazing watching the huddle.go from hating legette as a Mingo clone to praising him because of a potential 5th year option.

 

If he's good the 5th year option won't be of any value.

His real haters are still hating. Don't be fooled!

Don't you mean if he sucks, the 5th year option won't be of any value?

My bad, not being a downer, just seen this to many times. I'm not buying it but I really do hope I'm wrong. Guy is great in coverage, unfortunately he is always in it.

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      Wow that’s actually really cool chatgpt can do that Although, as we know Arizona sat in soft zone the entire second half. So there was a lot of dinking and dunking, but that’s the right thing to do in that situation.  Week 1 pass chart doesn’t look bad. He pushes the ball downfield more than several other quarterbacks I’ve watched. For some reason the huddle thinks other quarterbacks are constantly throwing 60 yard bombs. That is absolutely not the case. Some quarterbacks aren’t taking any deep shots at all.

      XL about to turn the corner

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.
