Another big receiver that has no quickness... Awesome.

It’s an elaborate ploy to make AT not look so slow.   If we don’t have speed and YAC anywhere on the field then….AT belongs still

It's funny how many Panther fans ignored the few insider voices talking about how Warren was genuinely unlikely to be a top 10 pick and wasn't universally regarded as the #1 overall TE for that matter. 

In a draft very light on elite talent and he isn't regarded as one.

I am genuinely stunned by that pick. Makes me believe that we don't really love any of those pass rushers, which I do also understand. 

Love the player personally.  

Same. Im not really down on the pick. I am very stunned and shocked. But we HAVE to have a plan in this scenario.

      I know, this guy is 5th round at best but were talking Newton here.

      Different media reactions to the Tetairoa McMillan selection by Carolina

      Pete Prisco https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-round-1-jags-earn-a-for-travis-hunter-move-giants-get-c-for-jaxson-dart-pick/amp/ Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona Grade: C I don't love this pick. I know they need to get help for Bryce Young, but I thought Matthew Golden was a better option. They also have defensive needs. McMillan doesn't run that well, which is always a concern PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2025-nfl-draft-grades-every-first-round-pick#car )Carolina Panthers: WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona Pick Grade: Very Good The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan was one of the more productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate CBS  https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/nfl-draft-2025-ranking-all-32-first-round-picks-as-browns-pass-on-travis-hunter-vikings-bills-get-steals/amp/ Ranked 2nd Tetairoa McMillan (Panthers, WR, No. 8 overall)  Anything to help Bryce Young -- who came on like gangbusters after his Year 2 benching -- right? Absolutely. And McMillan does just that as a classic boundary receiver who wins in the traditional ways, with his size, body and in traffic. There's a glimmer of flexibility to his game, but he isn't a dynamic separator. Not every good receiver has to be elite at getting open on a routine basis against man. McMillan isn't Mike Evans with the ball in the air. There are flashes of those contested-catch skills, and he's a monster after the catch

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Walker was a top 5 athletic in this draft but our scheme IMO wasn't a good fit. We may regret passing on him.  T-Mac as three years of performance and it stands out. I think he opens up the rest of our receiving room. I expect XL and Coker to make big strides in 2025. I've seen grades of A to C on T-Mac, so it just depends on how you feel.  We have to focus on defense on the next 3 or 4 pick. Our round 4 and 5 picks are high picks in that round.  Let's hope Dan and Dave get those picks right.
