Truly curious.  Would you take him at 8 and if yes, what other players would have to be off the board to make you take him?  I have wavered back and forth on what players I would take him ahead of at 8.

I would take him at 8 for sure. Guys I would take above him are Hunter, Graham and Johnson.

I don't really believe that Carter is a "sure thing" elite EDGE and I am not sold on the OT prospects enough to take them over McMillian plus it wouldn'tmake a ton of sense for us to take a top 10 OT and then have him ride the pine. Obviously, I care nothing about the QB's.

Hunter, Johnson and Graham are good combinations of elite talents and meet an immediate need.

Brandt had him significantly slower. If he wanted to shut up people then do it at the combine and not your school who will use this process to lure other players.

Meh. I like him better than the TE people are hung up on. I'm just tired of the BS and this is all more of it. Quit hiding yourself in pro days if you don't want the skepticism to stick around.

I think he will at worst be a productive NFL receiver, but I don't think there's any chance we draft him.  At this point, if there's not a public love letter about a prospect, they probably aren't even on our board.  I think there's next to a 0% chance that we draft McMillan or Warren.

I agree. We are telegraphing our intentions pretty clearly. I also suspect we will not consider trading down.

Agreed. 

Remember when Calvin Johnson wasn't going to run the 40 at the combine, changed his mind, borrowed some shoes and ran a 4.35?

Now that is how you show people.

So essentially he would have run ~4.65 at the combine. Kind of what was expected if I recall correctly. And good for his size.

People forget that guys like Hopkins and Evans were in the 4.5-4.6 range.

Had he ran a low 4.4 or less, he probably becomes a top 4 pick lock.

I wouldn't have freaked out if he was a 4.6-4.65 guy either.

Exactly

Everyone wants speed at WR because we don't have it right now, but just because you want speed, doesn't mean EVERY prospect we look at there needs to be a burner.

You can find speed at other places in the draft or FA, but guys with T-Mac's size, hands, and catch radius just don't come around often.  Those things make him more of a unicorn than speed would, there is only one Tyreek Hill in the league, the other FAST players aren't quite like him, but there are still far more FAST players in this league than guys like T-Mac.

If you need a player like T-Mac to also have track speed, then you're never going to be happy.  There's been 2 of those guys in NFL history, Calvin and Moss, so sure, let's poo on T-Mac because he doesn't have the speed of maybe the 2 best WRs of all time.

We have Thielen for this season, but there isn't a current WR on the roster who you can pencil in as a guaranteed starter in 2026, passing on a guy like T-Mac when that's our WR room is just insane to me.

Sure, we see some potential in XL and Coker, but both are closer to being JAGs than true #1 or even #2 WRs as of right now.  T-Mac gives us a #1 for the next decade, I don't understand how people are willing to pass on that because he isn't a track star, particularly when our QB doesn't even have the type of arm to properly and fully take advantage of that type of speed anyways.

Yup. Nothing but respect on that one.

It's gonna be one of the EDGE or LB prospects they've been gushing over.  (Quoted the wrong post whoops)

Calling yourself that guy is kinda weird

People make those comments about me every time T-Mac comes up in a thread.

I'm not above being able to laugh at myself and make a joke at my own expense, if that's "weird" then so be it.

      Power rankings

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Latest rankings from NYT/Athletic   They do some goofy Severence tie-in. But, basically pointing out each teams most consequential flaw/issue...   Our innies pored through the data in each team’s file, revealing one scary number that needs to be refined for reasons that are mysterious and important. ... 5. Carolina Hurricanes, 42-22-4 Last week: 7 Mark L. rank: 4 Dom L. rank: 5 -0.19 Andrei Svechnikov is in a drought. Since the beginning of February, Svechnikov has just one goal and six points in 11 games, 43 percent of the expected goals and has been outscored 9-5. His average Game Score — the scary number above — is one of the worst marks on the Hurricanes over that stretch. It’s clear something is up with Svechnikov considering he’s missed some time with injury, but it’s still a really tough stretch for a team that needs its stars to be stars. With Mikko Rantanen gone, the Hurricanes are back to needing more offensive punch and it doesn’t help that Svechnikov looked the way he did before injury. Can’t depend on Mark Jankowski scoring on every shot he takes forever, but maybe it’s time for Seth Jarvis to really step up on the top line.
