Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

Great pick. The Franchise has to make Bryce Young excel. We have to have an identity and Bryce needs a WR who can pluck anything out of the air; especially in the redzone. Gotta maximize our free agent spending on the O-line. This pick fits with a plan. We have a lot of size at WR. Good luck to defenses playing nickel defense. We’ll run right over you or pass right over you.

I think this is a vote of no confidence in XL. 

Tet has something that XL seemed to struggle with, and in fact most of our receivers room struggled with (besides Coker) and that's SURE HANDS. McMillan is big and catches like it's his nature. I think he'll be a great weapon for Bryce. 

I think that's a great point and one I wasn't thinking. I thought maybe they took McMillan because they deem the cupboard too bare. Not sure I like that for XL though. I mean if he all the sudden caught those big moment catches last year he has an entirely different narrative. He made those drops yes, but he gets open and has a lot of physical talent.  I'm not ready to shut the door on the guy. 

But the fact is we are an injury and a retirement away from only having Coker be a threat (whom I do think will be a stud though).

Top 5 and highest paid o line in the league. 

2 good RBs

2 First Round picks at receiver

Offense HC/playcaller

GET IT DONE.

Bryce cant be looking like an UDFA at any point again next season. He has to live up to that #1 overall QB status for every. single. game.

    • It is simply a team that is unable to beat the teams they should beat. If they do that, no convoluted tiebreaker needed, and a justifiable winning record.  Team was 8-10 on the year and showed progress. But let’s not get carried away and throw a parade because of some fluke tiebreaker result.  We finished 1-3 coming out of a bye and 3 of those were ‘must win’ games. Only Seattle was not a must win. So we finished 1-2 in must win games and backed into the playoffs due to a fluke.  Generally speaking most teams drop a couple they shouldn’t and win a couple they shouldn’t. And that is what happened with our 2 wins over playoff teams. We stole a couple.    it was good that we did that, but a true good team does not get swept by the Saints, with a QB making only his second start in that first game.     That is what losing teams do. I have seen enough losing teams to know that.    Aside from that, I understand the thought that we have arrived and now we should expect to win every week. But I don’t really agree that we are there yet. I understand the FO and coaching staff need to take that posture around the players, but I am worried if they really believe that and start making moves based off of thinking our window is open NOW. .   I think one more season of acting as if we are building and the window is yet to open, would serve us better.  You know, afraid we are gonna start doing ‘win now’ moves and undermine the build.    We are really set up to take a step back now, with this harder schedule, with the unexpected Icky injury, and still with a lot of holes.     
    • Unless it’s cheap. He is only 2 years from 100 point season and plays 200 feet. 
    • I mean, if you could tell before he ever took a snap... ammiright?  Reality, my friend, shows a massive history of the best QBs taking time to come up to speed. Those that didn't are very, very rare. Manning, Rogers, Manning, Young, Montana, Stabler, Bradshaw, Staubach, Favre ... the list of those that took a few years to either get off the bench or make it on the field just goes on and on. The list of those thrown into the fire and just getting burned up is even longer. There's no magic crystal ball. There's just good coaching, patience and a helluva lot of luck in these picks.
