Will Johnson is starting to grow on me.. 

Tony Pauline who has had good scoops in the past reported within the last month we 'love' Johnson...along with Walker & Mykel more recently. 

If we aren't looking at passing targets as much as people may want them (I haven't seen much smoke around Tet or Warren), we may be looking at Will Johnson (or) Jalon Walker.  Mykel Williams/Shemar Stewart being backup plans if we can trade down.

Apparently not. Not sure how he smells but he is far from elite and that is not an isolated opinion. Just based on what little film I've seen on him he needs a lot of work, I mean A LOT. He's not a sure thing.

Holding the ball too long and hero-ing is about all I’m seeing. What else you got for the LOT? That being said….Loveland rated higher on a big board? Not buying it.

At first I was vehemently against t Mac. But seeing the insane prices wr have been going for if they believe Bryce is the guy and if t mac is the #1 wr they have on the board then get him so we have a #1 wr on a rookie contract as they're now a  30-40 mill a year position 

That's the same as reaching for need.  Can't take one just to take one because they're expensive to sign.   We already clearly need to add speed and have the slowest wr room there is.

Yeah tmac is trending towards the back half of the first round now.

I wouldn't be really mad if we took Will Johnson but he's apparently been dealing with nagging injuries and I mean we just extended a corner who has only played 15 games in a single season once. I'm of the opinion we should consider a corner in one of the other rounds.

They're definitely in our sights with Amos & Porter being two of our more notable T30 visits.

Good teams don't bring in first rounders they want in their t30 visits.  Good teams use them for late rounders and to find out info on other teams.

I think if you have a top 10 pick you should have all the information possible before you draft

I'd like to know the drop of from TMac to Jayden Higgins for people with better eyes than me. For our 2nd round pick

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
