I think you go McMillan or Graham. 

McMillan is a giant receiver and it's been a long time since we had such a big target. Graham is a monster and I couldn't imagine him and Brown on the line together.

Kind of sad we can't get both. I think its hard to find a guy that can play 3, 4 and 5 tech, but at the same time its not easy finding a top WR talent, especially for us. Some teams are money drafting WR in round 2... we are not. Should we just say F it and take the top WR looking at us, or do we build this thang in the trenches? Tough decision but hopefully we look back two years from the draft and say they made the right one.

I'm on the D train.  Give me Carter in round 1 and round 2.  Team game.  D often makes the O good or bad.  We went O heavy last year. 

I wouldn't be shocked if 6'5 4.5 speed TMac comes into the NFL struggles separating.  We got of enough of that.

This is not a popular take so flame away: the recent developments re Jonathan Brooks has yet again thrown the RB room in a state of flux, and that’s not good for a team that relies heavily on the running game. With a potential for another lost season in rehab if not longer, a blue chip prospect like Ashton Jeanty cannot and should not be off the table especially if he’s BPA. This guy is gonna be a beast with loads of potential. Bank on it.

The Lions have the best record in the NFC.  But you can probably insert the Chiefs, Rams, Patriots etc..  Chiefs had Tyreek Hill (fifth round pick) and the Rams had Kupp (3rd round pick), so neither of them spent high draft picks to get elite WR's.  The chiefs spent a first to get worthy, but he is certainly not elite as yet.  

St Brown was a 4th round pick.  So I am not sure he is a good argument to spend a top 10 pick on a wr.  

 

This doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t matter how you get the elite WR, you need one. We have proven time over time we can’t draft WR since DJ. So grab the best one in the draft and take your shot.

Neither FA market looks good either. I really hate a good CB like Will Johnson to get skipped over as well. Ultimately our weakest point is DL so I lean towards Graham.

I understand it is easier than saying his actual name, but my mind instantly goes to Tracy McGrady every time I read "TMac" on here.

LOL, you should be inside my head

McGrady was my favorite player for years, have a bunch of his shoes, jersey, all of it.

I'm also an Arizona alum who has seen every snap of McMillan's career....................

And I still screw up saying his first name after 3 years of watching him, and I also still can't not hear McGrady in my own head when I say T-Mac.

But it's a problem I'd LOVE to deal with for the next 10+ years as well, hahahaha.

And the Patriots got Tom Brady at pick 199, why can't we just do the same thing?!?!?!

You realize how asinine it is by pointing out the mid round players who ended up as Top 5 players at their position is, right?

If every team could turn all their mid round picks into superstars, this would be an entirely different league and nobody would care who they take in the first round, because you're leaving every draft with a handful of new future stars.

I'm starting to think we will pick in the 8-12 range with the way the defense is playing. However, I'd love to get Hunter or McMillian. This team is dying for a big play weapon. I don't think you realize how having a Chase/Lamb type WR would open up things for Chuba and the running game.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
