We need guys to play due to the roster we have. It's not good, that is for sure. I don't like project guys in the top 3 rounds. Never have and never will.

I am not assuming, I just don't believe he is a guy that ia going to be ready to contribute outside of maybe special teams. That's not a third round value, IMO. As I said earlier, high ceiling, incredibly low floor. 

Wallace is a tackling machine. He has a lot of the same qualities as Morgan had to be honest. His biggest knock seems to be his ability to read and identify. If your expectation is that in year one he comes in and is that Luke style MLB that is the QB of the defense, then not he needs to develop to become that. 
 

However, if you pair him with Shaq and have Shaq call and lead the defense and ask him to go make the tackle, he will deliver.

in the 3rd round you’re almost universally getting high floor low ceiling or high ceiling floor types. I wouldn’t have minded a low impact position where one of the top guys was still on the board, but some would argue that’s exactly what off ball LB is and to that end it seems like a lot of the evaluations sites had him a top 3 or 4 off ball guy in this class

i mean it’s not the e most enthralled I’ve ever been with a pick but I’ll wait and see where it goes before lambasting it

Agree with @Growl

Most of you bang your heads over these picks and some might be head scratchers but building a culture with players that fit Morgan and Canales should be top priority.  Many of our latter round picks should tell you something.  Words like Baller, Ultra-competitive, beast, high motor all fit these guys.

Hopefully, in a couple of years when this draft class is truly analysied we see these guys get drafted higher than where we got them.

I know the career GMs in here won't understand.

I have to constantly remind myself that I'm just an observer and have nothing to do with the success of the team. It gets extremely difficult sometimes. 

It's not easy. But I have a choice and I have to decide whether or not it's worth it. I have to say it is.

I don't stress over things i have no control over. I don't worry about them. Life has enough things to stress over. I want to have fun being a fan and I want to find things about it to make me feel good about it, so I do.

If it's not fun, then why bother with it? There's got to be other stuff in life to get sucked into that brings more fun and enjoyment that that.

Just my way of coping.

Oh I'm the same way. My only hope with this team is to just see something different and positive. Day to day life has enough stress to deal with and I'm not adding more over something I have no control over.

My perception/opinion of the draft based on a few categories.  Solid draft in my opinion. 

Addressing need with perceived roster upgrade:  A

Got WR the team desperately needed, a solid pass catching RB and upgraded TE and LB positions with what could be contributors. 

Value of players drafted: B-

My non-expert ignorant opinion on Legette is he was a bit of a reach.  Full disclosure though, I thought Adonai Mitchell and Jackson Powers Johnson were solid first rounders and a lot of GM's and scouts disagreed.    Brooks being hurt is a question mark/flag for me. 

Draft savvy:  A+

Moving up to first for the 5th year option was a smart move with little to no downside.  After that Morgan basically stole a 2nd round pick next year and still got his guy in the process.  Also seems to have kept consistency with that "dawg" mentality the FO has been pushing.

Unlike others I feel the 5th year option is important because it gives you another year before having to address the contract.  

I think that matters if the player works out. If he doesn't it then trading up for that reason looks very stupid 

 

I am much more comfortable with the decision to move up because they wanted to scoop a team looking for their player. That is logical.

To me the option is a win win because you get an extra year if needed and if not you can cut bait just as easy

B. Our offense was terrible and our young qb needed lots of help everywhere so we got 3 should be starters and they all have potential to be big time players. Thought we could have done better on defense but we did get 5th and 6th rounders that could become solid contributors so that’s nice. Def feels like we drafted a bunch of guys that fit what our coach and gm want.

I disagree somewhat. The third rounders are typically guys you expect to end up in your two deep. I would agree that more gambling does happen in that round. 

I just thought there were better players at his position available and better prospects at other positions available at the time of the pick. 

He would not have been my pick in the 3rd round.

But that isn’t worth a pick being trade for one spot. 

Like I said, the move up because someone was going to snag your guy, I get that.

Had it been just solely for the 5th year, that's illogical to me.

Glad to see it wasn't the latter.

I am apathetic enough that I don't really have any emotions about watching games at this point. I don't get excited about wins and I don't care much about losses.

I don't actually get any fun out of Panthers football. I just watch because I am used to doing it. Eventually if that wears thin, I will just not watch at all. Plenty of other good NFL football I can watch.

Hope it doesn't come to that but I don't see really any chance of this franchise turning it around under Tepper. I guess I will see how 10+ years of this feels and just go from there.

I guess we just see it differently, that's cool

      yeah, but the actual jersey Bryce Young is wearing is not the same jersey you are buying from Fanatics.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
