Lol. Point well taken. But bruce had guys like this at bama and managed to take advantage of them. 

Yeah, mixed with the getting the ball out within 2.7 seconds thing I just dunno if he'd get is fair share of targets here.

And Legette is considered a 3rd round pick by many of the "experts". The Mingo comp really isn't crazy off. 

Let's try not to look at dated mocks. I know that it's easy to do, but looking at older mock drafts and dated projections isn't as helpful as looking at recent ones.

So let's not act like there aren't mocks out here with Legette going before round 3.

Athletically and in terms of measurables they are VERY similar and seem to have similar concerns coming out of college.

I said "he is considered a 3rd round pick by many of the experts". Evidently you read that I said "he is unanimously considered a 3rd round pick by everyone and drafting him with one of our 2nds would be a travesty".  I'm not sure why you seem so bothered by a variance of opinion.

It would seem to be that if you're going to form an opinion, it should be based upon more than he's got a similar build or a similar RAS score than this guy or that guy. That really is nonsensical at the end of the day. And, for the record, I haven't seen one notable analyst (or any analyst really) comp Legette to Mingo.

I just presented supporting evidence for my opinion. You assuming it's the entire basis for my opinion is on you. You seem to rely too heavily on having analysts tell you what to think. It's okay to formulate your own opinions. The experts get it wrong a lot too.

Ha ha. What a lazy way to support your opinion. Without a RAS score or Combine measurables, you wouldn't know what to do. But, I know, you looked at that All-22 and said, "Hey, these two guys look exactly the same..." Gimme a break, LG! They're not the same.

I have no earthly clue why people want to keep drafting the same type of wr repeatedly and expect a different result on the field. 

How about drafting a dude with legitimate speed and separation with legitimate college production instead of projecting big lumbering dudes to be the next dk Metcalf??

This is why my favorite wr are Troy Franklin and Xavier Worthy

Troy Franklin for me IMO  he is a very similar player to Jamison Williams

I shared supporting evidence. You just parrot other people's opinions. We ain't the same.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
