Welp… Stroud is the guy, right?

Are we really sure none of the other bottom feeder teams will be able to out suck us for the top pick? I mean I realize firing your head coach and trading away your only offensive weapon are strong opening moves in that direction, but I wouldn't count the Lions out just yet. They have tons of experience at being awful. Who are the teams we might screw up and beat with a few key plays breaking our way?

There are some other really bad teams out there for sure, but we currently rank as the worst in the league and that’s before we started shipping off starters including our best player. I think we see Shaq go if someone calls for him as well. I just think we got the head start on tanking over the rest of the league and I find it unlikely we don’t finish with the worst record this season

Watching Stroud's highlights, and he really has me questioning my adamant position of "No OSU QBs ever, for any reason." One thing you can't argue is his placement is perfect, and you can't teach that. Every pass hits his receivers in the hands, in stride, where only they can catch it. I'm just sitting here with my jaw on the floor. Those two passes on the sideline...I've never seen anything like it at the college level. 0% margin for error and he nails them.

Yeah I will admit I don’t typically buy into the rule of not drafting players from certain position in certain programs narrative but it does usually warrant some consideration. But I don’t feel that for Stroud at all. Bryce Young is intriguing, Levis etc but Stroud to me is just the clear #1 QB. He’s arm and his pocket awareness are pretty advanced for the collegiate level and I like that he doesn’t rely on his legs when his first and second option isn’t available. He can move but it bodes well imo that he still waits fir his receivers to get open and trusts his arm.

While I love Bryce Young and would be very happy to have him, I think Young's size brings more Questions than the Logo on Stroud's helmet.  Stroud is the complete package and i'd bet a lot of money he goes first overall.

Every pass in a highlight reel looks good?

Exactly. Justin Fields dropped some dimes in the championship game before becoming a bust in Chicago. Right now I am thinking Kenny Pickett might be the best qb prospect of the last two drafts. It sure isn't Lance, Fields, Wilson, or Jones.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I do not yet trust our people to be savvy enough to pull off a trade that doesn’t screw us in the first and/or second round. With things looking like they might be coming together, they absolutely HAVE TO hit on a stud in round 1 and hopefully 2…  and hopefully hopefully unearth a diamond in later rounds. If they are to create a window, this draft has to go gang busters. This coming season looks promising, however, they have to go in to the 2026 season as the clear favorite to win the South.  ‘Windows’ happen for traditionally bad teams with the culmination of 2-3 really good drafts IN A ROW, snagging a good head coach and a few key free agent acquisitions. Busting on first and second rounds will destroy the chance of this occuring. Cokers don’t come around very frequently and haven’t even drafted.  There are contracts coming up in the next 2-3 years at the most expensive positions on the entire team. Bryce and Ickey. I know, not for a while, but good franchises have a long lens. If it comes to crunch time and Ickey hasn’t evolved in his pass blocking, do they drop mega $$ in his lap? Have they groomed someone that can step up? Do they happen in to a franchise LT and put press On Ickey to step his game up or he becomes trade bait?  In closing, at 8, screw need. No trade. Pick the guy who has future all pro dna.

      David Tepper tied for 7th richest sports team owner in the world.

      Owning a sports team is now a billionaire’s toy now. The days of Michael Jordan or a Jeanie Buss owning teams are long gone.   I remember when people thought Diddy could afford to buy the Panthers, he would have had to sell everything he owned just to cover the $750 million needed to own only 30% of the team.

      As of today, who would you draft at number 8?

      By Camp Fodder · Posted

      Walker, Graham, Warren or trade back. There is a very good chance 2 of these 3 are gone by the time we pick  Trading back or trade back and then back up and getting Williams and Golden would be fantastic
