What is your unpopular opinion?

That Young, Stroud, Levis, and Richardson are all off the board before 9

[pww42]

I don’t think I want us to trade up for any of the “top” Qb’s

Draft best player available.

If we have to have a Qb in this draft like most are suggesting.
I wanted Hooker based on his specs, and he is from Greensboro. I know I’m being a homer.. (I just can’t stand Alabama or Ohio State and hope they loose every year.)

Since most scouts always assume a QB from Alabama , or Ohio State are the next great. I wanted to look at their and size comparison to others.

Now we know specs don’t really say if this guy is a legend in the making. However we know most scouts have an ideal size they look for. 

Richardson is 6' 4" 230 Runs 4.4 

Hendon Hooker 6’ 4” 222 4.7

C j Stroud. 6’2” 215   Runs 4.7

Bryce Young 5’ 10” 194  runs 4.52 

compared to our

Cam Newton 6’ 5” 245 ran a 4.6 

compared to others

Josh Allen 6’ 5” 247 ran  4.7

Patrick Mahomes  6’ 2” 225 ran  4.8

Joe Burrow 6’ 4” 220  ran 4.7

If specs were A true know it all, then we should definitely stay away from Young..

1. Trade down in the 1st, maybe twice to stack picks

2. Draft a O'Cyrus Torrance later in the 1st (All-Pro type Guard)

3. Draft Dalton Kincaid in the 2nd

4. Draft Zach Charbonnet in the 2nd

5. Draft Eli Ricks in the 3rd

6. Draft Jerrod Clark in the 4th or 5th

7. Re-sign Darnold

We either reach for JAG at QB, or we stack talent where we can and nab our guy once we have everyone, while also having the assets, in place. If we reach for a QB, and have to trade poo to get them again, we are right back where we've been since Cam got hurt. But everytime we trade stuff for a QB, we dig ourselves a deeper and deeper hole.

Give Darnold and Corral a shot with a real coaching staff. Build the best offensive line in the league, draft guys with elite talent in the aforementioned players, and just win baby.

I'd be shocked but crazier things have happened. The rookie wage scale has made it far more tempting to pull the trigger on QBs high in round one.

Richardson is a day 2 pick. The others will be gone at 9, and we won't be picking at 9.

I like it...Clayton Tune in the 4th with your mix would be a heck of a draft.Very sensible and logical approach to the current situation.

If he is day 2 ,then that would be a better value pick.

Yes, and several more

Gonna get poo'd to Hell for this one, but someone has to say it:

The team did try to put an OL in front of Cam Newton. Unfortunately, injuries and Marty Hurney (who put the team in cap hell and when he came back after 3 seasons promptly drafted Greg Little) fuged it up.

Tune might be worth it but you have to remember we probably roll with two QB's and a practice squad guy who, right now, is Eason. 

 

I'd be fine with Jake Haener in the 4th. He's sort of like Heinickie in a lot of ways which isn't a bad thing for a probable back-up.

I really want Torrance though. Watched him at Louisiana. Billy Napier had some DAWGS in Lafayette and an NFL O-Line coach. Ickey, Bozeman, Torrance, and Moton would easily be one of the best lines in the league by 2024. Draft Charbonnet (6'1 225, 4.45 40), draft Kincaid out of Utah, re-sign Darnold, and maybe take Mims or the guy out of Houston in the 3rd and you've got a really, really good core of players on offense. 

I'd like to see how Darnold could do with that.

Unpopular opinion

Carolina will weigh the cost of trading up, but also Aaron Rodgers or Lamar Jackson trades, and I think there is a great chance they pick Rodgers or Jackson trade if it is a similar cost

I would agree if it were only the draft picks involved.  But with Rodhers and Jackson there's also a huge guaranteed contract added on top of the picks. All is not equal.
