I wish we had more picks because I would like to draft at least one OL for depth or if we can't work something out with Bozeman. With all the other holes with more priority, selecting an O-linman is a luxury pick.

Which QB combine results are these? The one thing he measured well at was his height...the ONLY thing he ZERO control over.

^^^This. A great athlete does not necessarily a great QB make. Is AR a great athlete? 100%, no question. Is AR a great QB? Not at this time and the bold portion of that report does not bode well for him either.

An extra 1st. Moving to #3 may just be this years and '24 first along with some other late picks. I'm not sure if you are aware, but just moving from number 3 to 1 is 800 points, or equivalent to the #21 pick....which happens to still be a first round value.

Sit put at #9. The underwear olympics gets guys almost as excited as an issue of Hustler magazine.

Partially true.

Rest in peace Mr Richardson. Most of the Panthers faithful are thankful for the NFL franchise brought to the Carolinas so we could have a team we could call our very own. I've been a Panthers fan since day 1.

McShay said Young feels pressure well and that is what makes him "special". Great, but how about his QB passing skills? It's one thing to know where the pressure is coming from, but the other KEY part is accurately delivering the ball anywhere down the field, sometimes into very tight windows, with timing and anticipation. Feeling the pressure and escaping it is a wonderful trait, but so is successfully delivering the ball regularly.

There isn't a AR comp, but Levis--> Bortles (strong arm, prototypical size) Young-->Manziel (undersized, athletic, moxy). Stroud-->Bridgewater (checks all the boxes). You left our Carr too, he and Jimmy G. were my main point. Two second rounders ended up saving that entire draft class. Hooker could end up being like Carr from this class as the the most accomplished when all said and done. Probably another day 2 or day 3 QB will trend like Jimmy G.

It means it was a QB needy draft, and it very much is. No teams other than the Cardinals and Lions are 100% sold their QBs. The Cardinals don't necessarily love Kyler either, they are married to that contract though. Th Lions are rolling with Goff. This is a decent QB draft and only because of the top 2 guys.

I could see this QB class mirroring the 2014 QB draft class.

Brissett on a 2-year deal is the way to go, trade back, get more capital and take the rookie QB plunge next year. I've thought about this a good deal and this seems the most realistic scenario for early success. If Reich/staff sew up the rest of the roster over the next two drafts and FA THEN drop the rookie QB in on a nearly complete team, even the rookie struggles the rest of the roster is strong enough to grind through the growing pains.

Re-sign Burris for a backup safety and sign Brissett as a bridge QB in FA--former Wolfpack guys all over the Panthers! I can think of about 4-5 UNC homers on this board that would be less than thrilled, lol!

That was the only front office vacancy, correct?

Just specialist and skill positions, catch being TE since they are required to block linemen some. I very much want to know what linemen and LBs bench. Completely relevant.

If and this is a big IF, the coaches think he's the franchise QB for the next 4-5 years, then sure. But as a two-year bridge QB? That's a lot of assets tied up for something that's not a long term solution, especially when that money can be allocated to other positions to shore them up.

So here's how I hope this goes down: Indy trades up to #1 for Young/Stroud and the Texans snags the other. The Seahawks take Levis. We won't move up for AR; too risky. Vegas takes AR. With all the first round QBs gone we snag Hooker in the 2nd. I'll be happy with that.

Genital warts cluster

It's a sellers market and we are going to be the suckers to fall for it. The Bears and Cardinals are going to absolutely fleece some teams.

Question, would you be okay with Levis or you just firmly in the Stroud camp? Curious.

Rodgers-Headcase at the end of career, Jackson-$$$/ multiple 1st AND injury prone. Watson is a predatory womanizer who hadn't played in a couple of years. So no, none of those are/were extremely attractive options.

And the reason I was screaming form the mountain tops for an offensive minded HC. No slight to Wilks, great coach and a great leader, but it would have been more of the same.

The fact that QBs in this class are in any comparison to Trevor is funny. Desperation induced delusion.

The fact that fans are still latching on to Fields shows the doubt in this year's QB class whether people want to admit it or not. They don't want to admit it, lol!

Why I like this one so much. a) Developmental QB--People need to give up on us getting Stround/Young--AR/Levis not Day 1 starters b) Franchise TE--FINALLY c) A true NT and true 5-tech d) TWO WRs--one boundary, one outside/slot flexible. e) Three down RB f) Ball hawking FS g) MLB to replace Shaq h) Backup center or primary center is Bozeman isn't retained and another guard for Corbett injury insurance. i) Hybrid safety/nickle LB Pretty much checked every box and with solid players too!!!!
