Gotta get it outta your brain that all tall WR are Devin Funchess.

T-Mac is the best prospect of the 4 by a good margin. 

Better than Golden? Better than Egbuka? Sure, at running go routes and wheel routes he may be. But Bryce’s favorite receiver is Theilen and that’s because Adam is a ballsy route runner with soft hands. The guy closest to him early was Golden. 
 

I still hold hope we draft Restrepo and Skattebo but I won’t hold my breath. 
 

The game has changed. We just got another guy who is big and can’t run crisp routes and that is my axe to grind. If we hadn’t drafted Legette last year, I’d be all for this. Doubling down on a failed philosophy is insane though.

I understand the skepticism, but I do think TMAC  is way above KB or Funchess ever were as prospects.  Neither of them even sniff TMAC in hands (felt like KB body caught nearly everything) agility and fluidity of movement, and route running.

 

No clue if it’ll work out but I get it. 

I mean, Tet is a quality player. However nearly everyone in the NFL is a quality player. It’s about fit. I don’t understand the fit because I don’t understand what we are trying to do on offense. I honestly think a good comparison for him is going to be DJ Chark. Chark had some amazing catches for us, and decent games. However he wasn’t good enough to retain. 
 

I just don’t see how either Legette or Tet can be a first option with their limited route tree. I think we need to go grab a guy like Restrepo in the 4th if he’s there. He’s already one of the cleanest route runners in this draft and his game is very similar to Theilen. Taking him and giving him the opportunity to learn, like how the Patriots did with Welker and Edelnut, would be good. But the Panthers don’t think that far ahead.

Who gets a flying frick. Why do we have to compare everyone. See what the guy can too before casting any judgement

This reminds me of a Kurb post, I'm seeing a lot of posting style parallels.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
