Xavier Legette would not have lasted long into Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft even if the Panthers had not traded up to get him as the Patriots had their sights set on the wideout as well.
Wide receiver Xavier Legette became the No. 32 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft after the Carolina Panthers traded into the first round to select him to close out the first day. As it turns out, Legette would not have lasted long into Day 2 if the Panthers went in a different direction as the New England Patriots had their sights set on the South Carolina wideout as well., the Patriots, picking at No.
"I had heard early in the draft process that the Patriots hoped a certain receiver would be available either at their No. 34 overall pick or in a trade up into the late first. That receiver was South Carolina's Xavier Legette, per a source. Only problem: Carolina moved from No. 33 to 32 to take Legette on Thursday night.
