How is this different than the Mingo pick last year. Same size, same 40, we needed Ladd separators and we blew it.  

Mingo does not play his speed, Legette does

Xl did literally nothing for 4 years.  At least AD had boom or bust potential with a much higher ceiling.

I mean Leggette has a crazy high ceiling.  

what did you want Leggette to do in that offense when they were playing grad coaches at QB or WRs? The minute they got a somewhat decent QB he started to shine and make massive growth strides. 

I feel better about XL than Mingo. But I think Ladd was the best pairing for checkdown Young

From all the smoke around Legette, it seems Canales already has an idea of how he wants to use X.

While he (Legette) wasn’t my first choice, I’m very high on Canales so I trust that he’ll make it work.

Wish more people had this mindset instead of just going straight to bitching

Guess what, we just avoided the dreaded 2nd round wide receiver bust curse this franchise has. Legette will be him. Dan knew better. He played through keary colbert

They are hardly the same receiver. You know as well as I do, that you go and get your guy. Ladd is good, but somewhat redundant. He also has a bit of an injury history. AD is kinda soft. There were concerns with him.

Yeah we had a preference.  No big deal, I'll root for him--like I told you, I expected it, and have tried to warm up to it.  I'm just miffed at how obvious we made it.  This trend continues under a third regime for Tepper.

AD runs routes and gets separation. 

But does he have that DAWG in him?

 

Legette does. Smitty had huge input on this pick like I mentioned before. He even said we were gonna pick him. Panthers saw something in him obviously.

I wanted him to run decent routes or get seperation.

They visited  with him like 6 times it seems... its clear they worked him extensively  and something they saw behind the scenes really clicked.  I'd keep an eye on Rattler or even Milton as a late qb too but Leggettes value as a returner and Deebo role will be his role initially.

The only time a David Tepper led team will ever pick at 32

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Draft a 2nd rd receiver in the 1st to avoid the 2nd rd receiver curse

[CPF4LIFE]

We are still in position to maybe trade down a few spots and get more picks plus it's possible ladd and other players Will slip to our pick anyway.
