REPORT: CJ Stroud is reportedly the “apple” of the Carolina Panthers’ eye at the moment.

To be fair, it wasn’t long ago we were saying this about Alabama QBs. 

True. Jalen will be the first. I fear Bryce may not be the 2nd. Unless he has a growth spurt.

Harping on schools is a dumb metric…

 

Air raid QBs we’re never supposed to make it until Mahommes came out and became one of the greatest to ever play the game. 
 

Just never know until you get the player in your system.

To me he has the most Mahomes vibe of the qbs I've seen in awhile. I mean that by how he surveys  the field and pocket maneuverability.  Always seems calm and collected. Not calling him Mahomes but similarities  do exist. 

I would give that distiction to Williams from SC but he is the best option imho as well.  Is he worth Ricky Williams/walker kinda package?  Hellz No.  This team needs able bodies so I would still keep the picks and positions for 2024 with Williams and Mayes.  Unless, Stroud drops to 6th-8th and move up only few spots and only give up a 2nd rd this year and few 3rd, 4th round picks the next.

Like they would leak something like that if it were true. The chess match started earlier than I expected.  You can cross Stroud off the list.

Meh. It’s not a hard guess to make. Stroud is easily the top QB on my board. Someone putting 2 and 2 together on that isn’t hard

Nah - # 9 plus the next two first rounders will do it.  Might have to throw in a 3rd rounder.  

Only moving first rounders and managing to keep both our seconds is a huge win.

I don’t think there’s any question we trade up. We have to. Recycling QBs has been disastrous

Trading all the way up to select Young.  I think half of the huddle might explode.

From what it seems like at the moment, the Panthers would have to trade above the Colts to get Stroud. Although I thought there was no way Fields would be on the board when we picked, but the 49ers picked Lance, and Fields fell. Also people thought Malik Willis would be a top 10 pick last year but he went in the 3rd round. Who knows what'll happen. We have a long 3 months ahead.

It would be entertaining.

The draft is a ridiculous 86 days away, we won't know what their plans are until there are 10-14 days left (if the same insider that has called the last 5 1st round Panther picks still has an in, but I don't see why he wouldn't if he got the first 10 picks right last year)

Who is this insider?

Charlie Campbell, he said we zeroed in on Horn 2 weeks before that draft, same with Brown and Burns, and a day before last draft said we are taking a tackle with Ickey, Cross, Neal as the order of preference
