Is Gettis the guy?

Does anyone here think that Gettis will be the WR we've been looking for? Would you say he's easily the most promising WR since Drew Carter or Steve Smith?

It seems to me like he's got all the talent in the world for success. He looks like a bright player too. It was pretty amazing to see him break that dude's ankles in the SF game. Let's say he get's another two 100yd games. Would the combo of Gettis and LaFell be enough to pass up on a guy like Green?

I like Gettis and LaFell, they both could be considered #1 type receivers. Green is a stud and nearly impossible to pass up on. Those four (Counting Smitty) makes our trade last year for Edwards a wasted pick. What makes it even worse is we would have had the 33rd or 34th pick overall and probably been able to get a STUD DT.

I like Edwards and I like Clausen but if Luck or Green ends up on the Panthers doorstep we GOTTA TAKE EM. That means the careers of these two players will be short lived at least in a Panther Uniform.

If we pick Luck, all the receivers will look better in a year or two. Green is a stud for sure and if Luck doesn't come out he should get consideration for sure. The same with the corner from LSU. Can't miss players who elevate their position almost immediately. Still if you can find a franchise quarterback like Luck. You can't pass up on that either.

No receiver will look good without someone to get him the ball. One day the joke will be, how do you shut Steve Smith down as a receiver? Have Jimmy Clausen as your quarterback.

Seriously though, everything revolves around the quarterback and until that issue gets settled, every other draft pick pales in comparison.

Gettis can definitely stretch the field for us, not sure he's much of a route runner or ever will be, but we need a burner and Gettis is that guy.

I'm hoping LaFell can be the possession receiver that catches everything underneath while Gettis takes the safeties down-field with him.

He needs to do a better job of catching with his hands. He still lets too many balls get to his body. He really doesn't do a good job of snatching the ball out of the air, although hopefully that will improve with experience and development.

Also, he hasn't shown the ability to battle a defender(s) for the ball and come down with it (truthfully, he really hasn't even had the opportunity to show the ability)...so that's an unknown for him, but necessary in any #1 receiver.

    • The lack of discipline has seriously been our downfall the last month. Seems like we just went off course this last month and Lee won't address it. You can't just live and die by the 3 when you can attack the paint and at worst draw a foul
    • Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too
    • I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents
