Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

[NAS]

I am warming up to the pick, Rams willing to trade up for Tet is a good sign. But I hope we go all defense for the rest of the draft

I will say this. I have been under the thinking for a long time that you do need two really good receivers now a days. All the top teams have them. I just think it's not at the top of the list when your defense is historically bad. 

Seems like Morgan and even other GM’s (since he’s still available) are scared about Walkers size, traits, and film. I’ve said all along that if you watch Walker‘s film, it leaves a lot to be desired. Seems like other football guys agreed with that. Mykel Williams would’ve been the next guy up, but I don’t think he’s a difference maker and neither did Dan Morgan. TMAC is going to be a great player for us. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

I can live with this if they would have taken Graham if he dropped. If Tet can learn how to beat physical press WRs, I will like the pick a lot more. I think Canales is clever enough to know how to utilize him best. I'm curious if he will work out best for us in the slot

Oy...

Rams scouting and evaluation of players has normally been spot on lately. If you take a guy they wanted then you should be optimistic.

I feel like we have drafted this player before, and there is no reason to think this organization suddenly can identify and develop a college wr prospect into a pro player.

The fact that Sean McVay liked McMillan should give us a lot of confidence!

Colin cowherd is going to be insufferable

If he pans out nobody is gonna be upset.  I wish him the best of luck.

Yeah. For transparency, I never thought tet was a bad player based off what I have seen. I just didn't think he was worth it to draft over defense. I hope I'm completely wrong about that and He ends up being even better or just as good as nabers and Harrison from last year. He definitely improves the receiver room off bat. 

That's fair, I was very prepared for a defensive player to get picked so I'm just shocked and excited now

[Panthering]

Canales is at least creative with how he schemes guys open and this is just going to help with that in many ways. We all complained about how he seemed to ditch the run game early in favor of the pass, so at least we'll have another toy in that department for Bryce.

To be fair XL was basically a 2nd rounder.  We just wanted an extra year on contract so.  

So they picked  him in the 1st round.  Got it.
