According to Legette, Panthers will draft Legette at #33

I personally don’t want Leggette.  Coleman is my guy.  I was extremely high on Leggette based on the 2 games I watched him but those were clearly his best games.  He has very stiff hips and is a straight line player (great speed with a build up) but not much else.  I think he is a third round guy especially with the WRs in this draft.

what exactly does Coleman offer over Leggette?  

I get not loving Leggette,  I don’t get liking Coleman if you don’t like Leggette though

Leggette is more mechanical in this movement and lacks any kind of hip movement.  If he has a runway he can blaze but he is easily controlled with him moving east west.  He was targeted 90+ times last season and was clearly their go to player.  I personally think Keon is a more natural WR and if he would have run a 4.50 would be mid first.  He was plenty fast on the field.  I think Keon can be a really good #2 in this league

Those are mock drafts and in a scenario where there is a crazy run on WRs, he could sneak into the back half of the first round. Is that likely?  I'd put a 1% chance on it.

I'm familiar with that draft site and they have HUNDREDS of mock drafts, so yes, you can find some with some outliers.

That was the first page of them. And that crazy run is highly likely to happen. What's highly unlikely he'd make it out of the second round. Same with a lot of WRs. 14-15 could be gone by the end of the second and he's probably about the middle of that pack.

There's not a lot separating them except maybe speed (Leggette) and more consistent production over the years (Coleman).

Legette IMO is the better athlete, faster than Coleman and better at the contested jump ball 

I think you can knock both of their route running and press issues.  89 doesn’t like Coleman’s route running in pads or in shorts.   

89 consistently talked about Coleman’s interviews turning teams off.  Wish he would have elaborated on exactly why he was turning teams off but he didn’t.

I just think in terms of ceilings I’d rather gamble on the guy with the highest one and to me that’s Legette

For as much as you're banging Legette, Coleman can't even get open at all.

If they draft Leggette, the thought process must be that he'd fit a scheme that Canales wants to implement. Thinking Canales plans to scheme him open more than put him in 1v1 situations all game. 

The Panthers have been taking that approach for as long as I can remember. You run your route, and you run your route, and if you beat your defender then you may get the ball. I don't think this team has ever had consistent route concepts that schemed guys open. I was hoping Frank would bring that here with the mesh concept, but I don't recall seeing much of that during the season.

This. Stiffy McGee. You watch him and he has no fluid route-running skills. He just runs himself open and plays jump ball.  He’s at that level and is a 5th year. 

Make it NFL speed, NFL talent, and this kid, as emotional his story is and being local and all, is going to hit a brick wall. 

Have we learned nothing? Seriously. This would be such an aggravating selection. Another plus athlete with the potential needing to be tapped. He’ll need to be designed around and not with until he can develop.

    • I'm with you.  Even an extra 3rd would help.  None of the players you listed are elite though.  Sadly there are very few of those in this draft, but there are a lot of good players in the late first and into the second. We need to realize that we can't get all our needs in this year's draft.  We know we need some sort of edge, a safety, and I feel we need to use one of first 4 picks on a CB, preferably 3rd at latest.  And I want to draft an OT in 3rd to learn behind Moton this year. The extra 2nd would be huge.  2 things Bear Hands has noted in other threads, we can get a rusher in the mid rounds of the first, and if a good LT is available at our pick we should be able to get a deal. I'm ok.  If the media takes are close, trading back to around 15 should get us a second, and since our second is near the end of that round, getting one earlier opens up a whole lot of opportunities.  Either way, Canales builds his infrastructure with this draft.  Next year, with all our picks and probably picking somewhere between 10 and 15, we can get real stars.   All of this depends on hitting on picks this year.
    • You got the gist of his main issue. He plays LB or whatever on D, but hates to tackle and contact. That's the summary.  I normally have a wide margin of " Hey vet min/bring him for try out/maybe he changed/etc etc". But he can not be trusted, * but he did just have his "best" season. He's like those RB that refuse to run between the tackles, bounce everything outside...they too are scared of contact. That's like the whole point of NFL, he's able to trick and athlete his way for 5 years, props to him and his agent.  Me personally I view him like virus, I wouldn't want him on film shying away from hitting while the rookies&UDFA are looking for how the Panthers do things. Plus Im the biggest sucker there is about giving former 1st, 2nd, etc another chances. Just not someone who doesn't want to play NFL and fools those with his god given gifts.  ____________________________________________________________   \ Not to add another layer to this, but I feel contact and hitting its the biggest problem for the NFL. I sorta agree with TEs, WRs, and RBs either going out of bounds or falling to the ground to avoid a solid hit(this goes out the window for 1st downs, SB, etc.) Like if a WR caught a deep slant and already gained 17 yards, but here comes a safety with a great angle, Im all for that WR to fall on the ground...... ugh...... But I think the opposite for my defense. I feel this topic is central sun hot and NFL has done a great job in avoiding it. Im surprised NFL is still allowed, I have huge doubts in the future. 
    • not sure if carolina picks a WR in this draft, they have some young WR already and will let them develop. Need another vet imo.  I think carolina is going to pass more to the RB's this coming season, look for them to move heaven and earth for Cam Skatteboo.  I really hope they go TE Warren in the 1st. That would add another dynamic to this offense.
