Funny I remember you telling me the same thing last year when I was against the XL pick.  How did that work out?

I told you Brugler has him ranked as WR3 in the 24 class?  What are you even talking about with your endless whining?  You said he would be WR6 in last year's class.  I gave you two different solid sources disputing that.  Now you are crying about pick 32 from last year and comparing it? Maybe you need to get some fresh air and decompress for a little bit....

Yep. Back to back 1,300 yard seasons is nothing to scoff at. He's produced and he's got the measurables, rather than the XL method of he's got the measurables but hasn't produced as much. 

In addition to filling a GLARING need, there’s such a strong case he was simply the best and cleanest prospect on the board. I’m very pleased with how they approached last night.

Not to mention, how they’re ranked as prospects is never clean with the output. Marv Jr was this undeniable prospect but now people are really questioning if he’s a #1 with Nabers and BTJ looking like the absolute truth for their squads.

Also a lesson- never shy from the LSU receivers — minus that one we drafted lol

TMac is just a case of prospect fatigue.  Watching some of his highlights I'm surprised he played as well as he did with that QB play...

again you were telling me the same fuging thing about XL last year and me being negative.  How is that working out for you now?

Yeah there’s the guys that legit fall due to character/injury (Pearce, WJ) but then ones where it’s pure fatigue of discussion — think it happened with McMillan and Graham a bit this year.

Also it’s usually promising when it sounds like other teams were trying to get the player you drafted. We know he wasn’t falling past Dallas at 12, and the Rams were rumored to be trying to move up for him. This doesn’t feel like last year when for some reason we were way higher on Legette than everyone else.

I hesitated to read this thread because I knew the butt-hurt bitches who attack others would be out if full force--spewing prophecies and personal attacks---so I won't respond to the second guessers.  The bottom line:  We drafted the top WR in the draft.   At some point, we would have to add a WR to our WR room.  There are a lot of Edges left today, a lot of safeties that should be available today.  Personally, I did not see the Walker or the Williams fit--but I too was convinced that we would take Walker.  That had to increase the sting in some anal cavities and the only cure for that is go on a discussion board and raise hell like a toddler with a moth stuck to his lollipop.

Some scholar said, "How did (XL) work out?"  Pure dumbassery.  We knew he was raw and only had a few starts under his belt.  Then he hurt his foot in camp. For many games, he had old Bryce and Dalton as his QB.

I was not a TMac endorser.  But that does not matter now.  He is a Panther.  XL is a Panther.  Coker is a Panther--that is a pretty solid core of young WRs if they play to their potential.  Gotta be hopeful and excited about the WR room.  Nobody gives a crap if you or I like the pick or not.

Can I like the pick and still be butthurt? The rules around here seem to change daily.

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By CRA · Posted

      You can keep talking about that cherry picked stat line.  Bryce Young in his entire football career.....has never been a deep ball guy.  Sure, everyone needs that in their game.  He does too.  That's not why we drafted him.    We don't need to try to wish him into a downfield passer.  We don't need to build an O that doesn't play to his strengths.   You know what weren't the best at?  Well below the league average in what we got out of the backfield.  Well below the league average in YAC.  That's easy yards. Those moves the chains.  And Bryce getting the ball out quickly to playmakers is literally why we drafted him......and we immediately traded away those guys right before we drafted him and given him none.

      Well played Panthers....good job

      I see this division being between us and ATL this year and unfortunately, ATL is shaping up to be one of the strongest offensive teams in the league. If they play to their potential, they could legit average 30 pts a game. The season after this one as Pennix develops even more team chemistry? That’s going to be pretty painful for the rest of the division.   Until last night, Panthers were a team that didn’t even have a legit #1 receiver. We all hoped we would, eventually with Coker or XL, but that’s a long shot, and deep down we all knew it. We really needed ‘that guy’ on offense and hopefully we got him. When your receiver room looks like ours and the opportunity comes to draft a legit #1 receiver who had his level of consistent production, you’ve got to take him. There’s no LB, safety, corner or DT that can shape a game like a legit stud WR1. not even close. The opportunity to get a guy like this don’t exactly come along every day. An all-pro edge guy, yes, but that wasn’t available.  Teams that make deep runs have at least 1 ‘that guy’ on offense and defense. Hopefully we can now cross one off the list.

      I wouldn't hate if we took a quick twitch speedster in the 4th, but when you look at the WR room right now with T-Mac, XL, and Coker all in their first 2 years, even with Thielen there, I'd rather pick up a vet FA for that role than another rookie, just to get some more experience in the room. Then once we lose Theilen, unless we hit it right on the FA signing for that speedster role, maybe we look at using like a 3rd rounder next year to fill the role, but that's a problem for next offseason hopefully.
