The only 2 QBs that can start right away are Young and Stroud. We are going to have to move up into the top 3 to get either one.

I seriously doubt either will start right away. At least they shouldn't.  But I'm not getting paid to win so who knows?

we have to decide if it will be less expensive to go from 9 to 3 then 3 to 1 or go from 9 to 1. all these QBs jumping up the board is going to see a lot of the original Top 5 talents slip into the 6-10 range. I think 3 of the first 4 picks will be QB and Seattle may be inclined to take Levis. 

Tyree Wilson, Will Anderson, Jalen Carter, Christian Gonzalez, Lukas Van Ness, Peter Skoronski, plus the fastest rising WR prospect if you keep Fields... all but 1 of these players will be available at 6th if Seattle goes QB. If you can trade down to 9th, take the far better pick package, and still get one of your Top 3 guys on the board with QB excluded you have to explore it. These are difference makers at their positions even at 9th with the run on QB expected to happen.

Or stick at 9 and pick up one of those sliding 'Top 5' talents because everyone else has lost their damn minds.

If he misses he won't get a GM job again.

I disagree.

He has a ton of pressure on him from Tepper to find a QB or he’s gone. Everyone knows the pickle he’s in. Find a QB or the next guy will

It’s not like he’s trading up to take Kenny Pickett. No one is going to think it’s silly to take Young or Stroud number 1

If you are scared to take calculated risks based on you best insights you shouldn’t be a GM in the first place. Always playing it safe won’t allow you to win much in this league.

it feels like this every year though, doesn't it? you have 2 guys by merit who should be 1-2 in my mind in Stroud and Young. Then you have 2 "tools" guys in Richardson and Levis that are making QB needy teams salivate while watching Derek Carr get a $90 million contract and Geno Smith get $40 guaranteed over 3 years. We can't afford to lose the musical chairs game this season, again, and have to go with a patchwork starter for the 4th consecutive season with Bridgewater, Darnold, Mayfield, and ....Wentz? The veterans are finding homes fast and furious. If we don't get our starter in the draft, which excludes all but Young, Stroud, and a big maybe on Levis... you don't have a starter. AR will certainly take a redshirt season and I am about 50/50 on Levis, but the other 2 should likely be in the mix for Week 1. We need one of those guys.

Some of you seem to think Fitterer got a timeline reset on his job when this new staff came in

He didn’t 

It’s a big reason why he didn’t trade Burns at the deadline. He needs to win this year and his chances are better with Burns than with picks he won’t be here to use if he doesn’t win

      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.
