Donte Moncrief has visited and worked out with Panthers

I'm sorry I do not agree with some of those things those guys are saying. Il do a write up tomorrow about some things that are not true.

He does body catch a lot, but so did Cordarrelle Patterson. He does not have the wiggle that CP has, but he is just as explosive and a threat with his Yac ability.

 

Moncrief is nowhere close to Patterson.  

 

Patterson catches with his hands and bodies the ball at appropriate times.  He does not lack confidence in his hands.  He's also a completely different class of ball-carrier.  CP is one of the best, if not the best, open field runners in the game.

 

Here's my go-to site on both Cordarrelle Patterson (last year) and Donte Moncrief (this year.)

 

He had Patterson as his top WR last year and it appears that he has Moncrief as a high-upside 3rd rounder in 2014.

 

Don't me wrong.  I think Moncrief is a very nice talent, but in this draft class, he is not a first rounder.  Not in my opinion anyway.  We'll see where he goes in a few weeks.

Patterson was just an example of how somebody with speed, size, and production gets drafted before some think. Patterson had the ability to catch his hands, but he would catch with his body a lot as well. Moncrief does body catch a lot, but mostly because of the contact he is anticipating. a lot of his routes where inside breaking routes with bodies around him. Moncrief is a legit 2nd round guy in my eyes and many others. again, even Greg Consell thinks he has potential to be a 1st rounder. cbssports.com has him as a 1st-2nd round guy as well, and so does Nolan Naworki (sp).

 

here are some picks of him making plays away from his body that the NFL teams love.

I like these WRs from schools where the QB was not elite-- or Robinson at Penn St--so much untapped potential.

Hackenberg has the chance to be elite by the time he leaves. Robinson didn't have a scrub throwing to him

and the idea of this guy not being able to break tackles, or he does not have any YAC ability is just not true. is he elusive as as Lee or Watkins, NO. if he was he would be a sure fire 1st rounder. but he is no slouch either. very decisive runner, will give one to two moves, then get North/South and out run angles. plays to that 4.4 speed a lot.

 

here vs Arkansas, he makes a CB miss, then gets N/S and outruns the angles of the S who is flowing to the ball

another example vs LSU, he runs a slant on a future 5th round pick for the Seahawks, and gets open. the S comes over and breaks down to make the hit.that S was also drafted in the 1st round by the 49ers. he gives a little move, making the CB fall, and just flat out runs by the S. he goes from slow to top speed and nobody catches him.

I like that website you linked to. Gonna check out the rest of their scouting reports.

I don't think anybody questions his athleticism, but receivers with hands issues are risky.  Too risky for high picks in insanely deep drafts like this one.

 

It is a big mistake to judge Moncrief by a few great plays, because his highlight reel is outstanding.  His game tape is more revealing however, because it shows the inconsistencies.

 

Tons of upside, yes, but plenty of risk to go with it if you draft him to be a #1 WR, which is what you suggest.

 

I'm not killing the guy.  I like his talent, but round one or even two this year is a bit rich for my tastes.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
