That's a traditional sized OLB/edge rusher. We just drafted him to be a DE. I liked Burns more as an edge in a 3-4 than a DE. 

Wasn't that when we assembled a bunch of 3-4 personnel and then stuck 'em in a 4-3 all year?

They are not the same. Tet is 6 foot 4 with silky smooth agility and soft hands with 3 consistent years of good production in college at WR, while Legette was 6 foot 1, heavier, faster, more raw prospect with only one year of college production.

Just my opinion. McMillian is a was a much more established player coming out of college and Legette was a raw project the team was hoping to mold into a threat. Totally different circumstances and players. The only correlation is that they are both somewhat bigger WRs and neither having blazing down field speed. 

 

in theory they are both big slow wr that supposedly go up and get the ball, neither are elite at route running and neither have elite speed, they are essentially the same player

If a WR doesn't go here.....this is gonna get rough for Golden, Burden, etc. 

not really. They could easily all go in the top 10 picks of R2 as well. We haven't gotten to the playoff contenders at the end of R1 who can make luxury picks on WRs.

I don't know... The only thing I think he has working for him is his athleticism. His hands are still awful and he doesn't know how to run good routes 

I saw him open a lot and he did have drops but he was known for good hands before last season I thought, Didn't he have a wrist injury last season? Sorry, i just don't get all the negativity in the huddle which is why i rarely post anymore but it is draft bight so I'm talking before going mostly silent for the rest of the year, lol

XL was a 4.39 40 guy. Is that slow now?

Also, Tet didn't run a slow 40. He ran basically the same general 40 time(4.5-4.6) that guys his size usually do(minus the freaks). Evans, Hopkins, London, etc.

I really am curious what trade offers were offered to us that we turned down. If it was anything close to the trade rape Cleveland pulled off, we blew it IMO

I think we would have taken a similar offer.  That offer only existed because Hunter was one of the only elite prospects.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
