I just feel like we are not at full strength on the offense without this guy. LaFell is decent, but he is not a true number 2.

LaFell looked more like a #2 than Gettis as a rookie. Gettis had speed....LaFell did everything but the vertical route better back then.

The legend of Gettis will likely continue to grow....

I would agree that LaFell has slightly better hands, but its not that big of a difference. I prefer Gettis' speed over LaFell's hands.

I just don't feel that number 2 vibe coming from LaFell. He just doesn't have that spark. I keep waiting for him to have that moment, that one catch that says "Here I am!", but instead his play just says "blah". I see his potential as being a little better than Proehl, and that doesn't cut it for me. (I see LaFell as a #3)

Gettis had that swagger late in his rookie season. He saw an opening, and he made the plays that said "Here I am!" How many signature youtube plays does LaFell have from his rookie season? I can think of at least two from Gettis.

500 yards and 3 touchdowns 1 year makes you a Future HOFer /huddle logic

With who was throwing to him, it was impressive. He had some big time plays you fail to remember. God it is like nobody watch the games that season because we were so bad. Dude just has to catch it and he has breakaway speed. Also he is bigger than Lafell at 6'3 220ish. He is very strong and a great weapon to have on offense. How quickly people forget, but oh how quickly people will remember and suddenly love the guy.

Soooo where have you been all last season and this preseason? I must have missed something here. You were looking at #11, right?

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
