Pretty much spot on analysis of the selection.  Maybe he works out but appears super slow quick area speed, and seems like the panthers would have benefited more from the penn te 

Biggest reasons I didn't like the pick

1. this draft is super deep at WR. 

2. Lost of people including myself had him as the 3rd WR behind Golden and Hunter. No value in the top ten taking Tet. 

3. This draft isn't very deep on 3-4 front seven players and could've gotten a high end prospect for a 3-4 front at 8.

He didn't give it to himself. His friends gave it to him.

yeah, that's my point.  His friends gave it to him.  He didn't pick it.  We aren't his friends. 

He will be a football player for the Carolina Panthers.  NFL fans likely will appoint him a nickname at some point or maybe they won't.  Nicknames are just weird things.  Some dude was called freaking Cornbread in college.  No one called him that here to my knowledge.

Most of those stats came against significantly weaker players, exactly like I said. Despite the fact that TH covered him more than anyone else, he had only 3 catches for 15 yards against TH. Yes, one of those catches was a TD, on a absolutely perfect pass in a super tiny window because TMac couldn't actually get separation.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here is every snap, including Hunter getting DPI twice against him. It also shows him getting open regularly and his QB just missing it.

So call him what you want.

To be fair a lot of others had him as the clear cut #1 WR and top 10 overall player.

Yeah, we are going to disagree here.  Thats nonsense

XL made a TON of sense.....because he fit what Canales did in Tampa and Seattle.  And we drafted XL when most folks that Bryce Young era was likely about to end.  Nothing nonsensical about acknowledging what Canales has always been about/around (and how his draft picks fit that)......and how Bryce Young at no point in time when we drafted him was billed for fitting such an offense.   It was all PG quick distributor talk.  Which meant YAC players around him and getting the ball out with his super brain.  

XL and Tmac struggle getting open quickly.  They are more suited for a chunk play team that is playing off the run and sets up for WR to have time to get open downfield (which is the Canales tree).  Which is what Canales is basically drafting. 

Square peg/round hole.  It's not nonsense.  It's the Tepper era.

Teams are just going to press the fug out of us and simply take away our run game as a result

Highest I've seen him was PFF at 4 which is silly. Didn't see anyone else have a top ten grade on him. 

Brugler has him at 12 with him being WR1. I trust his opinion more than most. Picking the 12th best player and top of his position at 8 isn’t that crazy. He actually had him mocked to us in some of his drafts.

I will say this. He fits Dave Canales offense to a T... Which means he doesn't fit what Bryce is historically known for doing well. So even though Bryce asked for him, it's even more evidence that Bryce is going to be expected to run Canales offense from Tampa.

To be clear WR2. Hunter is CB1 but clearly WR1 as well.

But I agree with your sentiment.  Brugler and Mays were talking about him compared to last year and confidently said he would have gone ahead of BTJ, maybe Odunze (or between the two)

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      By amcoolio · Posted

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
