Paging @tukafan21

 

If Tmac is not available I still think we need to take the next best WR. So who else is on your board at WR besides Tmac?

After Hunter and McMillian there is a MASSIVE drop off in terms of elite guys. If they are gone at our pick, you take something other than a WR. It would be a way bigger reach than XL at 32.

This is a bad WR draft on paper.

They should all be there at 1.

Not with a Top 5 pick, and if we trade down, it's for an edge rusher that makes sense in that 10-12 range as opposed to the Top 5.

Like the player, just don't like how he aligns with our draft position

Tmac and xl is a terrible combo.  If we had taken Ladd at the draft last year like some of us wanted, then sure.  Tmac and XL would give us the least shifty, least burst wr tandem in the league.

That sucks. We really need a true #1. I agree it would be stupid to reach on a WR with that high of a pick. I was thinking trade back, but if there isn't a true #1 that wouldn't make much sense either.

 

I guess it's Tmac or bust.

When did I say trade our 2026 1st?

 

Man you be saying anything to prove a point smh 

Again, do you ever even read my posts or just see it's me and jump in there saying anything you want?

Someone said to trade our 2026 1st for DK

I responded to that saying Bryce hasn't shown near enough to give up our 2026 1st in a QB heavy draft.

You jump in there saying Bryce is looking like the future.

I respond reiterating that he hasn't shown near enough to trade our 26 1st, since that was my point initially.

It's not hard to follow along man, just read.

And I've said we need that fast quick twitch slot guy as well, but if you draft Burden to be that guy, it still screws us over as we'd have a MASSIVE hole on the outside by still not having a true #1.

And once you then spent back to back 1st rounders on WR, as well as having Coker, plus all the holes in our defense, you're not splashing in free agency to get an outside #1 or using another 1st rounder the following year to get one.

So since you can get those quick twitch slot WRs in the middle rounds or in FA, you don't over draft one at the top of the 1st round just because we need one.

And this isn't an argument for T-Mac, it's an argument about building up a complete roster, not forcing picks to fill a need despite it not being the right draft slot to do so.

You replied to me as if I made the take. Are you confusing me with someone else?

Honestly, depends on where we end up. If you end up in the 4 to 6ish range, you are probably better off trying to snag one of the very few elite rated guys than trade down into the crapshoot area. That said, this draft is supposedly fairly loaded with B caliber guys that can be solid starting players/rotational guys. 

I also really hate trading down as a Panthers fan because about 99.8% of the time we fug that up. We almost always fug up trading up.

IDK....we will see what happens. We just need to channel our inner Hurney in the 1st.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
