McHonkey who would’ve been the perfect WR for Bryce is over 100 yards already today 

Legette can’t even catch 

It was super obvious we needed a sure-handed route running type who could flex between slot and z.  But Morgan had the eye for XL and never let go of it.  We just don't seem to like those types.  Have had the opportunity to draft more than a few that had immediate success in recent years.

The Panthers have a "type" of WR they typically get in 2nd round especially. I know Legette was the last pick of the 1st but he falls into that catagory. The Panthers love drafting big hulking, raw, project WRs around the 2nd round. Mingo, TMJ, Legette, Funchess. The list goes on. 

This is a trend that's transcended different regimes, owners, GMs, and HCs. Which is the most baffling part of it all.


The Panthers generally dont like drafting polished WRs in general. Even DJ Moore was a bit rough and more known for his ability to break tackles vs running crisp routes.

I think the staff fell in love with Legettes personality honestly. Him only balling in 1 year of 5 years in college football and making mostly jump balls/body catches is the definition of gambling on a boom or bust prospect.

Not saying Legette is a bust, but hes got a long way to go.

I don't think it was Morgan that wanted him. Not that he didn't, just that the desire came from the guy that runs the offense. 

 

Also, people talk in historic terms, but we have new people making the evaluations and decisions. That we have only one draft to go by.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
