Marc Ryan - "Carolina Zeroed in on Stroud and Richardson"

[CPcavedweller]

It's Stroud guys. The Bryce Young bit is a smoke screen to see if the Texans will bite to trade up to keep the Colts from coming up. The bit included about Richardson is a smoke screen as well because he would be there at 4. So make the Texans think we are interested in Richardson or Stroud, that we would trade down to 4 for Richardson, so the Texans feel compelled to move up to 1 to get Young, meanwhile we still get Stroud at 2. 

Got it? Good.

Tweet is a few days old, but this matches what I have heard.

If it was a smoke screen they'd be stating that the Panthers are enamoured with Young, as that's the guy the Texans want (allegedly). 

With regards to trading up for a project - the Draft is about 5 years from now, not just this season. They may think that Stroud's ceiling is limited, Young maxed out in College and Richardson is the next franchise QB off the conveyor belt - who actually knows.

Smokescreen would be a stretch, as I doubt any other NFL team is taking any tweets from anyone seriously.

He's getting ripped apart in the comments of that tweet lmao

Lol

All of these "sources" tweets are probably bullshit. Nobody really knows.

That said, I do think that ultimately it's C.J. Stroud.

You’d be surprised. It’s misinformation season and everyone everywhere is trying to get a tiny leg up on other teams with a grasp of accurate information, and I do think teams get spooked out by certain reports/tweets, or at least are aware of them and trying to figure out what other teams’ plans are.

It's going to be Richardson.

Confirmed:  we are taking Stetson Bennett

Lets face it. We are going to be trolled in one form or another until we select whomever next month.

Would make absolutely 0 sense to trade up to 1 for Richardson, if you trade down to 3 or 4 for him then why trade up to 1 in the first place. Probably could've kept DJ and gave up a little less to get to 3 and get him. 

I think I've seen it reported that no team in the history of the NFL draft has ever traded up to #1 and then traded out of it. The Panthers would be stupid as hell to be the first team to do so
