Fitts said we'd be involved in every deal and it goes without saying we have a need at QB. I expect us to at least have a conversation though I suspect we would prefer a younger option to build around.

I expect him to land with a team that's more in win now mode. The Niners might be a strong player here. The Rams could be a sleeper candidate. The Bears would make sense if Stafford and his camp don't mind Nagy.

Why can't they do both?  Everyone looks at it like it's one or the other.  If it were me I would target Stafford if the price is right, meaning I don't have to give up this year's first.

Use that pick to either take a LT or trade down a few spots and take Jones and a LT in the second.  Profit.

And I would give up next year's 4th for someone to take Teddy.

Drew Brees and Tom Brady are in their 40s.

Rodgers is in his late 30s.

It's a different NFL these days.

No it's not. Brees, Brady, and Rodgers are just different and Brees hit that Father Time wall hard this year. Those guys are all-time greats and future first ballot HOFers. Stafford is definitely talented, but I don't think anyone is trying to say he's on those guys' level. Football is still a brutal sport and you need a ton of talent, a ton of football smarts, and a TON of luck on the injury front to have that type of longevity.

Matthew Stafford is a brilliant QB. He's a huge upgrade over what we have and he has 5 years left - easy. 

I think the broken ribs hit Brees hard this year, not Father Time.

He's a huge upgrade, yes. But I'm not convinced that'll make him an elite QB into his late 30s and early 40s. That'll take a lot of luck.

25 year old Brees doesn't get his ribcage pulverized like he got hit by a train from a run of the mill tackle.

Well I guess we would be better off to just roll  with Teddy? I don’t like those odds

Watson would take multiple 1sts. Stafford would more than likely take one 1st rounder. Or if they play their cards right, a player and a second. Either way Stafford is only 32 and he could potentially play till his in his late 30's. He'd instantly upgrade this offense. It wouldn't break the bank and even if it's just one 1st rounder that's not bad because you know what you get for Stafford and he'd easily play at least 5 years. You already have a good core of players, build around him and compete. 

 

I like that at least we know that Fitterer and the brass will be in this conversation. Exploring every avenue to become a better football team.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
