D. Tet isn't going to be as good as Moore unfortunately and I still don'tthink this team has a good enoufh WR room after consecutive#1 picks. I really wish we didn't keep Evero and it looks like we got more of 'his guys'. Unimpressive TE and WR. I like they took another NT. It wasn't an impressive draft and the level of talent they brought in looks low again. Just more of then same but on the upside they didn't waste future picks to get anyone.

To add to the experts' analysis, Jordan Reid of ESPN was a big fan of the Panthers draft. Here's highlights of the article:

Which team produced your favorite class?

Reid: Carolina Panthers. Receiver, edge rusher and safety were their top needs entering the draft, and they addressed all of them in the first four rounds. Tetairoa McMillan was my highest-ranked receiver -- he gives Bryce Young a true WR1. Princely Umanmielen and Nic Scourton provide Carolina with two young edge rushers. Lathan Ransom is a hard-hitting safety who can produce on the back end and special teams. Jimmy Horn Jr. was one of my favorite late-round receivers and could stick on the roster as a return specialist.

Make your early call for Offensive Rookie of the Yeacar.png?w=110&h=110&transparent=true

Reid: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Carolina Panthers. I'm a big believer in McMillan's fit with Bryce Young. McMillan's catch radius will instantly make him the go-to receiver for the Panthers. He also has the formational versatility to play multiple spots and can fill the role Mike Evans had in Dave Canales' offense in 2023, when Canales was the Buccaneers' offensive coordinator.

Mel Kiper gave a C. Can't believe ESPN thinks he's a draft savant.

McMillan can’t get open. Bryce’s favorite target is a pure route runner who creates separation and we continue to take the opposite of that. 
 

50/50 ball ability is great, but only when you combine it with the ability to run the rest of the route tree. Rule 1 for receivers is beating press coverage and McMillan cannot do that.

My draft grade: A meal at an authentic Mexican eatery. Sure, it seems good at first but give it some time to discover the sometimes awful ramifications. 

Hopefully it's not like when you go to some random hole in the wall Mexican restaurant, the food turns out amazing and a year later you cant remember where the place was

Love CBS for this. I don't know how they got an A- based on the other ratings, but I give a B+. Had they have gone edge or a defensive playmaker overall or traded back and got Tet or Tyler Warren then come talk to me. This was a reach and you can't convince me different

Green Bay admitted to considering three wide receivers. THEY PICKED IN THE 20s. Many anticipated Tet being there. Maybe we tried to trade back, but Dave already said it was going to be the Michigan DT or Tet, the two picks that i liked the least at 8. 

Round Pick Player Grade
1 8 Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

This was my question if he was someone that could get open.

Well yall will be clamoring for another number 1 wide receiver next year for the 15th year in a row. 

Meanwhile we give up 45 points a game.

He sounds like taller Legette that may be able to catch, guess we won't know until September.

Also, everyone assumes this guy is now #1, the fug he is.

Theilen is the number 1.

      How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
