Really think it's Stroud or Levis. I don't think AR goes Top 15. 

I just don't see the move to 1 and giving up what we did for Levis who is a bit of a gamble himself.  You either get the highest floor (Stroud) and have a solid possibly great QB for a while or you gamble on the highest ceiling (AR) which I would advise against, but see the logic kind of.  Maybe we are just that confident in our staff?

Unless HOU is enamored with Levis, we could have had him at #3 most likely.  So, if they are, claiming we're very interested could create impetus for them to try to swap picks with us.

But I kinda doubt it.  They'd have to believe we might be moving down to #3 instead.

We did not trade all the way up to #1 to draft Will Levis lol

Well look at QBs this staff has had over the years, we have Josh McCown as a QB Coach and just signed Andy Dalton yesterday. 

Frank Reich: Matt Ryan, Jacoby Brissett, Phillip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Nick Foles, Andrew Luck, Jacob Eason, Sam Ehlinger. 

Jim Caldwell: Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford, Peyton Manning.

Thomas Brown: Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff. 

All pocket QBs.

That points to Stroud (who is who I want).  I'm just looking at the timing of the trade...

Everyday there has been a new report on who the panthers prefer with the 1st pick. The national sports media people have no idea who we want and are just guessing to help build up excitement for the draft. If any of the local beat writers or insiders come out and say we have a preference then I'll take notice but until then I'll stick to my gut and say it's either Young or Stroud whichever one, we pick will be a great pick for our team.

I doubt even the local guys will really know.  This group starting with coaching search has been leak proof so far.  I love the professionalism.

It's definitely a nice change of pace from past years where everyone always knew our pick weeks beforehand.

Me thinks someone asked Ian to have that "slip" in exchange for some breaking FA news later on... See what sort of buzz behind us that generates.

What yall think of this for our starting offense and defense (o-line left out for obvious reason)?

 

Offense

QB - CJ Stroud * Pick #2
WR - Thielen
WR - TMJ
WR - Downs * Pick #33 (trade with Houston)
TE - Hurst
TE - Tremble
TE - Ian Thomas
RB - Jamaal Williams
RB - Chuba

RB- Blackshear


Defense

NT - Shy Tuttle
DE - D Brown
DE - Tuli Tuipulotu *#39 
DE - Gross-Matos
OLB - Burns
OLB - Luvu
OLB - Haynes
ILB - Chinn 
Big ILB - Ivan Pace Jr. * #93
ILB - Shaq

CB - Horn
CB - Slay
Nickle - D. Jackson
Big Nickle - Chinn
FS - Woods
SS - Bell

Would mean we have to go out and get Thielen and Williams but doesn't seem too far fetched. I think we would run the south and have a chance at winning our first playoff game.
