Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

[Silent Majority]

A #1 overall QB and two first round Wr's...we should be expecting fireworks from the first snap, right? 

[PantherChris]

This Pick really makes me think we will also be scooping Cam Skataboo in the 4th round

This team is looking at 6 or 7 wins if people stay healthy. Small steps towards relevance. The saying "Rome wasn't build in a day" pertains to the Panthers.

sweet so by my math we should be a 10 win team around 2028

 

fug yeah

Love it! He's an actual first-rounder, and the defensive prospects aren't. Easy choice.

He can’t get off press coverage in the PAC 12/Big 12. He is a go ball specialist who isn’t particularly quick. Defenses will play tight man, jam at the line, and still the only guy who will get open is Adam Theilen. 
 

Taking this guy when you have both Loveland and Warren on the board is peak stupidity. Warren or Loveland could do everything you drafted Tet to do, and they can play tight end really, really well. 
 

Adam will still be the only open receiver and Legette and now Tet will flail around trying to get off coverage for all but three or four snaps. 
 

Welcome back to the Benjamin/Funchess experiment guys. That worked out really well when Benjamin got hurt and Funchess had a ridiculous season. 
 

What. A. Waste. 
 

They can’t sell me on BPA. They tried to trade down and when they couldn’t, they reached by probably 10 or more picks. 
 

If this fails, or worse, hurts Bryce’s development, they all deserve to be fired. This is playoff year. This is Year 3 after taking a QB first overall. Taking Tet at 8 is a reach of reaches. 
 

I hope it works out. I have a feeling it won’t. This guy isn’t Christian Watson or Mike Evan’s or Drake London. And each one of those guys plays with other receivers who can GET OPEN. 
 

See you guys in August. This is garbage.

Not excited by the pick, but I'll wait and see. I'll support him because he is a panther now.

This is what year 8 of the Tepper era…and still trying to find a .500 season?  Forget Rome.   How long does it take to build a log cabin on a remote island

They may actually get to .500 this season if they can stay healthy. They will have to win more shootouts of course because the defense won't be much help, again.

A pick that fit a big picture vision and plan that can be argued makes sense.  It’s more random parts. 

we didn’t need an outside big body.   Bryce Young is our QB and we just did that last draft.  This one just has a higher floor and lower ceiling than the last.  Needed either D our a component of a Bryce O that was lacking

I'm coming around. Zig when they zag.  Spent a lot of money on defense this off-season. Plenty of D depth left in the 2nd and 3rd.  Missed on Metcalf, WR room was weak. If he's a 1, home run.

Same here. I hope it works out.

The world has is always ending with you dude, I would have liked defense but I don't think any of the guys available were top 10 talents.
