Xavier Legette Was A Strange Pick By Carolina

[@sherpder]

Bruh you don't know what you're talking about. Legette is fast and a big vertical threat. Hes from SC and is a big fan of the team. He wants to be here. He will play fast and hard. Exactly what we needed

[@Kodiakk]

I dont doubt any of that, I just don’t think he’s what Carolina needed

[@Cpodish]

XL route running isn’t raw, he needs work on comebacks and outs and he is doing that. His slants and everything else are sharp and ANGLES compared to sloppy and curved. What’s impressive is he is working on it. You say shiftier WR and dink and dunk. Worthy is to DAMN small, Troy Franklin pro day and combine was sloppy and horrible route running( I love Oregon and glad we didn’t get him) XL size and speed allows him to catch those dunk and dunk plays and actually get positive yard because of his size. He can ALSO CATCH. His productivity also had a lot to do with the coaching and QB issues at SC. It was a great pick. You need to really sit back and watch last years tape and see how they moved him.

Choosing Keon over XL is interesting given your distaste for lack of separation. As a Panthers fan, I was also hoping for Ladd, but I do think he interacts with Thielen and Johnson’s skill sets.

[@Kodiakk]

I’m not even a huge Keon guy that’s how much I would’ve NOT wanted Legette

[@PizzaHutCEO]

@@Kodiakk Interesting, but I get it 😂

[@Jairogliphx]

They should’ve went OL

[@yogibaer3981]

The panthers need a tank in the field we don’t need another skinny wr who can get open. We got Theilen and diontae Johnson (#1 wr in creating separation) and a steal in the draft of jatavion sanders. Panthers got their guy and bro gets to play at home.👍

[@Aniosaru777]

This dude runs 4.3 at 6’1. You will be wrong I saw him develop in college

[@Kodiakk]

Great athleticism, unfortunately we’ve seen that it doesn’t always translate to the NFL

[@lee9617]

I don’t see it, canales has been special when it’s come to scheming open big body x wrs who aren’t greatest route runners or separators in DK. Mingo was a way worse prospect than legette. DK (incredibly similar to legette he’s not a great route runner either) and evans having great career years w canales. I do think coleman would’ve been a better pick. Mingo had worse hands and an overall is a worse athlete.

[@Kodiakk]

I’m glad he has, but DK has blossomed into one of the game’s very best and idk if you can just “plug and play” a guy like Legette schematically

[@ktdagoat1289]

Well lbh if you start with “I don’t like what they are building program wise” we KNOW you’ll look through a lens of wanting your feeling to land off jump.. Now when we are talking about XL is Mingo well your just wrong.. XL is a MUCH better player, has a better build, faster, bigger, jumps higher and can run routes just needs polish.. X is already a vertical threat and catcher that Mingo just never could be or has shown possibility of tbh.. Beyond that, the fact you said “Draft Ladd and Keon” over him for a team that has TWO ladds in DJ and Adam already.. Or Keon who by comparison of player build and ability actually I’d say would be closer to Mingo (Big not too fast trying to just high point the ball) than X.. Is by all accounts makes your judgement seem… Suspicious, to say the least.. XL may not be the right pick for another team but for Carolina this kid WILL be a star.. While DJ will no doubt be the 1, expect Bryce to go to XL when he’s trying to get downfield the most..

[@Kodiakk]

I’m glad your outlook on XL as a better player more optimistic than mine. But the reality is, guys like Diontae/Thielen schematically shouldn’t have changed the Panthers draft strategy. Those guys are both older WRs and while I have Diontae as easily the best WR in this room, a guy like Ladd would’ve been a better pick because of his ability to play real WR. Keon was also criminally misused by his FSU staff and shows he has upside that was virtually nonexistent for Mingo as a prospect.

[@ktdagoat1289]

@@Kodiakk Adam’s going to probably retire a Panther tbh.. DJ will probably get a good deal with us.. X is a better pick than Ladd cause while ladds a better route runner, they run the EXACT same 40 time.. Mind you X is THIRTY SEVEN lbs bigger, and a smig taller than Ladd.. While I think Ladd will start as a better route runner, XL WILL take contact and keep going, play bully ball, and just do things Ladd would ever be able to cause of the 40 lbs difference but same 40 time.. And that’s what a real 1WR should do that Ladd will struggle with more than X imo.. As for Keon I see him as another Kelvin Benjamin.. Like I just don’t think he has that “dog” in him.. I think he shined a lot based of him being tall with a decent vert.. In all honesty I think the BIGGER thing everyone’s missing with the Panthers is who will be their 4th receiver and I SWEAR.. I think it will be a undrafted kid by the name of Jalen Coker.. And he’ll have impact like someone who was picked up in the 3rd round.. I’ve really liked what Carolina done this offseason from Dan and Dave, to tepp sitting tf down and out the way more, and ESPECIALLY the free agency moves and Draft picks.. Not being a super fan but I’ve seen the schedule and I believe 8 wins are possible and even a sneaky 10 or 11.. As they get 2 good teams coming out of prime time games into them fully rested, and if they could beat them or even just one and I think that momentum could just spark a extra win or two..

[@viviannavicious]

The trade with the Bears has really crippled an already bad organization, hope they enjoy being be slapped to the bottom again.

[@Kodiakk]

Tepper masterclass

[@xisojoe-5304]

you saying this you better hope u don’t lose to carolina at all next season

[@DblBcnChee]

Route running is all this man has been working on since college, he's heard all the criticism and is grinding. I like the pick, but I'll admit a bit of bias as a gamecock and panthers fan. I agree he looks a lot like mingo coming out of college and mingo didn't produce. Athletically Legette is special, but for those short routes and underneath stuff we have DJ and Theilen, but Xavier's game speed is quick( had the fastest homerun td in the sec last year) I'm excited to see him against nfl level competition. I disagree with the Ladd pick only because his skill set and size is too similar to multiple other receivers on the roster(DJ,Theilen, heck i'll toss in smith-marsette too). Been hearing good things out of camp about Jalen Coker out of Holy Cross as well, but mark it here I think Legette has the most yards of rookie WRs this year

[@PizzaHutCEO]

Unrelated to the video, but you look like Joel Haver and I appreciate that

[@Kodiakk]

Idk who that is but I’ll take it!
