Nice article that includes Marshal

Nice to see these expectations, especially if you look at where the other WRs on the list were drafted.

I just read that article over on NFL.com

Good stuff, and I am still thrilled that we were able to get Marshall at all.  He could well have been a late first rounder on other boards.

Terrace Marshall Jr.

Carolina Panthers
Draft pick: Round 2, No. 59 overall 

On targets of 10-plus air yards last season, Carolina receivers logged just four touchdown catches against 10 interceptions (tied for third-most picks), according to Next Gen Stats. Now, Marshall isn't the only player who figures to improve this aspect of the offense in 2021, as the Panthers have a new quarterback (Sam Darnold) and a presumably healthy RB1 (Christian McCaffrey). As a Jet last season, Darnold had just five touchdowns of 10-plus air yards, per NGS, but he logged eleven in both 2018 and '19. As a big-bodied pass catcher at LSU, Marshall had seven touchdowns on deep targets over the past two seasons (tied for third-most in the SEC) and 20 catches in traffic over that same time period (PFF). Matt Rhule and Joe Brady -- the latter of whom knows Marshall well from their time together at LSU -- can create space and scheme up some deep opportunities for their second-round pick. Marshall will at least fill a volume void left by the departure of Curtis Samuel. With D.J. Moore, Robby Anderson and McCaffrey as established NFL playmakers, Carolina figures to stretch opposing defenses horizontally and vertically, providing Darnold with a highly favorable environment in which to operate. This spells upside for Marshall's fantasy value.

By the way, Tommy Tremble was also mentioned in a similar article:

Tommy Tremble
Notre Dame 
 
Carolina Panthers
Draft pick: Round 3, No. 83 overall 

The Panthers had the second-fewest receptions by tight ends last season (27). They had a league-low one reception by a tight end on a pass of 10-plus air yards. In other words, the opportunity is there for significant growth at the position for Carolina, especially with Christian McCaffrey returning healthy -- which will draw the attention of defenses -- and greater upside at the quarterback position following the acquisition of Sam Darnold. No tight end in the FBS last season earned a better center of gravity percentage on both passing and rushing downs than Tremble. This metric reflects a player's ability to maintain his center of gravity when hit or making a hit and has proven to be highly correlated to NFL blocking success since I started measuring it back in 2008. It also helps forecast that he'll earn his way onto the field. While Tremble was not the main target for Notre Dame (and not even main TE target) last season, Matt Rhule and Joe Brady's ability to create pass-catching opportunities for him shouldn't be underestimated.
