Xavier Legette is your 1.1 now!

[JTLoh]

Don't love the landing spot but I don't hate it either. I think Young sucks and he is a bust.
But at least Legette will get an early opportunity to prove himself.

Let’s see what he can do when his best playmaker isn’t 32 year-old Adam Thielen before we completely cover his grave in dirt.

I initially did not want to, but looked into him further and took him at 2.7 in my draft. Far away from the 1.1 (in jest ofc) and I have seen a couple early drafts with him in this range. That feels like a justified gamble on a 1st round WR. Watch his press conference as it's basically 2nd to Keon's all timer. Legette sounds like the cajun guy from Waterboy. Happy, humble, and almost shy... which is far away from what he seems on the field.

This. I've bought Young in a few places this off season where his value has fallen drastically. That panther team last year was a train wreck. They brought in quite a bit of offensive talent in their WR1 Diontae, WR2 Legette, RB Brooks, and TE Sanders. That's an upgrade at just about every offensive skill position. It's pretty clear they are focused on giving him some weapons. I'm not writing him off yet.

I'm interested in Legette where he is going in drafts.

100% hoping I am WRONG about Young. Have alot of Mingo and now alot of Legette.

Half kidding with the last one.

Bryce Young over Stroud, and traded a boatload to do it, including the pick that turned into Caleb.

They also turned down a haul for Burns, then took significantly less a short time later to move him.

The Panthers have terrible ownership.

Yeah, but the owner is pulling the strings. Young was his guy. They won't have a good front office as long as they have this owner. The Panthers are going to be bad for a long time.

Trading UP for a WR with this profile, and trading UP for a RB, blowing draft capital they sorely need, just shows they are still a badly managed team.

Water is wet. Fire burns. Tepper is a stupid owner. Dan Morgan is in over his head as GM.

Carolina fired their Director of Scouting and Asst Director of Scouting ... days after the 2024 draft! If they did not think those guys are good enough, why not fire them weeks/months before the draft? What did Carolina do? Employ a shadow scouting department, that no one knew about? Or did they use information gathered by two guys they think are incompetent?

I don't know how this story ends, but I think Tepper ends up being Scar - the short-sighted guy with terrible judgment who wanted to rule it all, got the job, and turned his kingdom into a wasteland of pestilence.

Tepper is the anti-Midas when it comes to football. Everything that he touches turns to turd.

Let's not forget the Panthers gave up 65 sacks last year. Let's also remember they did not draft one offensive lineman the entire draft. It doesn't take a crystal ball to envision how much time Young is going to have in the backfield. Answer: Less than almost every other QB. Answer again: Not enough. That pressure played a huge role in Young having a QBR of 33 last year. Carolina somewhat addressed this by signing OG during free agency, but did nothing to improve at the important Tackle positions.

Leggett was intriguing before the draft, and he has some talent. As of now, he's pretty much off my list. Diontae is a target hog. Thielen is so proven and steady, he can't help but command a certain target percentage from a young QB desperate for a good hands guy who gets open on a regular basis.

That leaves Leggett filling the third receiver role on a mediocre passing team. That's about 40-50 receptions his rookie season, if he's lucky. I'll draft him in the right spot, but I'm not taking him anywhere near his ADP.

The Ownership and management group are certainly suspect. The biggest issue by far is horrid O line play. Buying any Panther short term is a bad move until this group learns that winning is almost impossible with out very good trench players on both sides of the ball.

They continue to stupidly address skill positions with one of the worst lines in the league. This past draft was loaded with O-line players like we haven't seen in years and they drafted none.

They spent a good amount in FA to improve the line. I'm not saying they are suddenly the best OL in the league, but at least they think they got it handled prior to the draft.

CAR’s O line was solid last season - I’d put them around the middle of the NFL pack - and they improved throughout the year where they were good towards the end. It wasn’t their fault that the skill position players were substandard.

Not sure what you were watching last year but I disagree on the line play. (62 sacks last season)

I do agree they have issues with the skill position but QB is really hard when the line is that bad. They may improve some this year but they are not winning many games until they can get much better line play.
