Looks like a great pick.   

Great pick if he doesn't disappear like Tremble and Thomas...

Neither had his college stats.  This dude produces. Thomas and Tremble were projects.

I wanted him with our 3rd rounder.  Like this one a lot.

Me too. It has been a long time since we had a TE described as athletic with good hands.  I don't know how to be. I always wanted us to draft a top 5 TE and we never did. We finally have,  so maybe there is a harbinger of positive change and the chance to become relevant again

We will grow to love this pick. I'm telling you this guy will be a factor in the pass game. He is a legit athlete who can run after the catch.

Yeah neither of them were near the caliber player he is when they came out

101. CAROLINA PANTHERS JA'TAVION SANDERS, TE, TEXAS 

Height: 6-foot-4

Weight: 245 pounds

STRENGTHS 

• Smooth route runner.
• Can play inline or the slot.
• Strong at the catch point and after.

WEAKNESSES 

• Downfield speed and post-catch agility are average.
• More of an effort blocker than an impactful one.

Team Fit: Incredible value for a player who projects as a dynamic pass-catcher from the tight end position. Bryce Young gets a needed weapon.

Grade: A

Franchise Guy says he has the best hands in college, including WRs. Had 0 dropped passes in 2023.

Soft hands and can run. We might have our next great TE hopefully.

It could be because no coach the proceed Ron featured a TE. That's the reality of it.

Great pick. 10x the receiver that Tremble or Thomas are.

if we are grading picks based on value/need, Sanders is an A+

 

I mean there is literally no downside for throwing this dart
