Bears close to trading to 2, then to 9 with Carolina moving up to 2: Houston felt comfortable staying at 2 because they are confident Carolina doesn’t take their guy.

I saw him play better against LSU this year than Young did.

I hope we take our guy.

I don't give a sh-t who Houston wants.

Just saw David Carr say that Stroud fits the Panthers offense better and Young fits Houston’s better. He said it would benefit everyone if that’s how it goes.

This makes the most sense. 

Here is what we factually know at this point. 

Houston tried to trade up to 1. 

Chicago preferred Carolina's deal. 

Chicago tried to get Houston to still trade up to 1, so that they could then trade again with Carolina and move from 2 to 9.

Houston balked when finding out Chicago was close to trading with Carolina (this one is important)

Carolina trades up to 1. 

Billy Marshall loses his fuging mind on twitter

Bryce Young goes from the betting favorite to go 1 overall, to flipping to Stroud -300

Reports are that Carolina likes Stroud

Fast forward 

Now every major media outlet is saying "well actually Carolina likes Young"

Now reports that "Houston is fine not taking a QB" 

*****

Yall can think whatever you want but all the tea leaves point to the fact that we like Stroud, Houston likes Young and the Panthers are trying very hard to get Houston to do something stupid and trade up one spot 

[SOJA]

Also yall can believe whatever the fug you want. But there is no way in fuging hell. absolutely no chance that the Panthers traded DJ Moore and all that draft capital without a specific guy in mind that they wanted at 1. Tepper isn't signing off on that bullshit to be like "we actually don't know who we like we haven't spoken at all. Franch who?"

 

Cmon yall

The alternative could be we leaked Stroud hard so Houston wouldn't up their offer to 1 because they thought we didnt want their guy, allowing us to get the guy we actually liked Young.

The tea leaves can be read a number of ways.

You're right we may like Young a lot! And I'd be fine with that, but again Houston specifically choosing NOT to trade up and Vegas odds flipping seem like the biggest smoking guns here.

Yeah I cant tell, I agree with everyone who knows until it happens. I can see the story being either version of these two weeks from now.

Stroud's visit so late will keep this shrouded for a bit I imagine.

This kind of public trauma dumping almost never goes well or has its intended effect.

That said, Robin Thicke putting out an entire crappy album and going on a whole-ass PR tour to try to get his wife back will never be topped.

I think it's ludicrous for anyone to say they know for sure we know who we are drafting. But I promise Tepper, Reich and Fitty know.

Do we know what Richardson or Stroud scored on the S2 Cognitive test? Nope.

No but we know they own the information and can leak it like Young did.  Why didn't they leak high S2 scores? Neither of them showed particular decision making during games (well, not in his second year for Levis--he was much better with a decent line). 

Quote

They've both been described as incredibly intelligent (and driven) by their coaches. 

Really their college coaches didn't come out and say they were idiots? Could their college coaches be puffing them up? That's never been done before by a college coach. They always tell the media absolutely what they think of their former player. 

[PantherKyle]

I'm in the camp that think we really don't care about Houston. The "trying to get them to trade up" thing is all media. Why would they tell us who they are moving up for and why would we trade back without knowing?

 

We traded up for a QB. And we are staying at 1 to take one.
