I mean if you would take at 3 why not at 1? It's no different. A franchise qb is worth that measly difference.

I agree. They have their choice so take the guy this all-star staff can make the most out of. If he only reaches half of that potential AR would be one hell of a qb. It's a lot to think about.

I haven't forgotten that they made two visits to talk to him prior to all this combine drama. I will be very interested to see if he's part of the 30 player visits. I'm still seeing Daniel Jeremiah still has him listed as number 3 in his top 5 qb's even after the combine. I'm not one to believe in conspiracies but there's aliens involved somehow.

Sounds like to me they should draft Hooker.

Next week it will be Levis. The Panthers will be drafting Hooker by the time the draft gets here.

I think more focus is more on the now and not enough long term. That's how I'm looking at this. Who's going to have the longest career for me if everything else being equal? How much time do I need to invest to ensure that all is equal or better? Lots to consider when you invest this much capital in an unknown.

The Huddle will riot no matter who is drafted or not draft. The thing to remember is no matter what the Huddle will riot. All they need is a reason. Any old reason will do.

I think there will be some limitations to your playbook with him. I hope I'm wrong if he is the pick. Get ready for the hobbit and midget jokes also. Especially if he gets hurt.

Holy wall of text batman! I'm not reading all of that because it looks like a class assignment. If KFC gave away their secret recipe it would be a secret. Carry on.

I agree that there are other concerns with Young. He's been working almost exclusively from the shotgun and I know that is due to his size limitations. It allows him time to see the defense reaction better from the snap, which is never mentioned. There's a lot to critique in his game that just worries me long term. I have as many concerns with the others but on different things that I will not go into here. Let's just say none of them give me confidence our problems will magically be resolved on draft night.

There's been enough speculation out there linking the Panthers to every qb prospect that no matter which one is picked you will be right. Let me tell you what I've heard from a source about who the Panthers are taking 1st overall. They say it's Bryce Young. But it could be CJ Stroud or Will Levis. But they say the wouldn't be shocked if it's Richardson in the final minutes. But don't quote me on that.

If he is the pick I worry more about him finishing every season on IR than his ability at qb. I've always thought he's the best prepared of the class for the past 2 season's. I do not think he will be the best of the class long term in the nfl. I have concerns about the others as well but not so much about their chances of finishing a season. This success of taking Young will come down to him staying off IR for 17 games and through the playoffs. That is a huge gamble even if he's a great qb. His injury risk is much higher than the other qb's at this level I don't care what any of you say.

I was hoping they could find a way to pick an edge rusher or one of these fast LB's coming out in the 2nd round. But that went out the window when they traded up and gave away DJ. This is a really good draft to need defensive players.

Smokescreen.

I'm not telling before the draft. It's a tight lipped secret that only my dog knows and she's not talking.

Sorry to hear. Wishing you the best possible outcome.

Right. They will not even tell their new FA wr and somehow its leaked to a source. I'm calling BS once again.

Well the Panthers are going bpa in their mind of the 4 qb's they are going to their pro days. They plan to do in depth interviews at their pro days beyondthe 15 minutesthey get at the combine. They are making all 4 a part of the 30 player visits. They plan to have dinner with each to get to know them better. They are seriously going to look hard at all 4 before a final decision is made. I know most think they knew who they were taking when that traded up and maybe they did at first. But I believe they wanted to have that freedom to truly look into these guys deeper on a personal level. It is a due diligence approach before they settled on the one to put all their faith and commitment into as the future face of the franchise.

With the 1st overall pick it's absolutely a qb for us. If you trade for the 1st overall pick it is absolutely for need. That is not debatable for our team. So yes, the 1st pick is a huge need for us. After that FA sets up to go bpa.

You cannot go by anyone's rankings outside of theirs. They decide how they rank the different groups according to their needs. Their number 1 need is a rookie qb. It doesn't matter if a defensive player is ranked by some amateur draft "experts" as number 1.

I said by year 3. By the end of year 2 they better be nfcs Champs and win a couple of playoff games. If they are not trending up by the end of year 2 with the new qb then things will get uncomfortable in BOA.

This would be the dumbest thing they could ever do. Besides, I do not want the asshole anywhere near this team.
