Like I just said in Pantherscord: I can understand the passion behind trading for Myles, but I cannot agree with the rationale.
Still, gotta hope that the front office at least puts a call/text in to get more info.
Good to hear! AT has been the reason why the Panthers didn't need to draft another slot WR in McConkey and his contract has been incredibly team friendly as well:
2023 - $3.3M (61st highest cap hit for a WR)
2024 - $9.9M (16th highest cap hit for a WR)
2025 - $8M (29th highest cap hit for a WR)
T-Mac's lack of separation at the collegiate level does not give you any concern?
He's the biggest body and has good hands, but I don't think he's the best receiver in this draft class. Hunter/Egbuka are my 1a/1b, then Tet, then Golden.
Not a good year to need to spend a 1st on WR considering the generational class last year, imo.
Now if the board shakes out and BPA == WR... well... gotta do what they gotta do.
The Senior Bowl rep is what got casual fans hype.
Folks that are interested in the scouting process have been following him since the mid-season at the latest. He was filling up stat sheets the way Laiatu Latu did last season, and consistently dominated against the smaller schools.
I still dont understand why people think that McConkey should've been the pick with a proven slot WR (Thielen) already being the most productive receiver on the team.
They needed a big body speed guy and they got him; now, they have to develop him. Insisting that they instead marched out three slot receivers (team still had Mingo at the time) seems incredibly shortsighted.
