Welcome to Carolina Tetairoa!!!

[tukafan21]

I don't care that there is an official thread or if this may even be "against the draft day rules" but I'm starting my own thread, because after everything leading into today, of course I have to, lol.

This won't be a long post about why he's going to be great, he's a Panther now, I don't need to convince anyone to want him, he'll show all the doubters why once he hits the field.

But I've been trying to speak this into existence for about 18 months now

It's not often that your favorite NFL team drafts the best player in your college's history, this still doesn't feel real, I'm in shock, I'm on cloud 9, I'm not even sure what to feel right now.

To those of you who were on the T-Mac train with me this whole time, WE DID IT, now let's enjoy the ride.

To those of you who were strongly against that train, well, you're going to be proved wrong and will look back on this one saying I was right, so I'll just accept your apologies now, you're welcome.

Bear Down and Keep Pounding Tetairoa!

I was the co-pilot on Tetairoa spaceship!

 

Need to bump those "The smartest pick for Carolina is clearly Tetairoa McMillan".

 

Need a strong finish to this draft, after making the highest IQ pick!!

Fingers crossed we're bothe proven right and wrong. Bryce become an elite franchise QB and TMac becomes an Alpha WR 

[La Pantera]

I 100% hope he lives up to expectations and  makes me look foolish.

I like the pick. Edge is deep in this draft I think we can get one in round 2.

So happy for you and I’m also glad we’ve got Tetairoa.

I’m still shocked. I don’t follow college football but when I first watched players’ highlights I thought he was perfect for Bryce. Cheers brother I know you’re stoked

Zonies… I kid I kid. You can have this Tuka

going the bengals route, all offense and no defense

I don't see why people are so irate about this. Just within the last few weeks I myself was saying we should not be overvaluing Adam Thielen the way we had been and our WR room was concerning. We addressed it big time. Now we can focus on the defense there will be plenty of talent available. Either way as I've said repeatedly this draft was not and should not have been about trying to fix the entire roster including the defense in one offseason. The FO needs to build intelligently for the long term.

We drafted Cortland Sutton at 8.  No.

Welcome to Carolina, Tetairoa!

He can catch the freaking ball. It's a trait we haven't in it feels like forever. I'm happy we finally have a receiver that actually knows how to use his hands and catch the damn ball.
