You see the first look at Bryce Young in the new Madden?

I look at it like this...

 

If they traded up for the #1 pick they obviously had a specific QB they really wanted. You just don't trade to the top and not be certain who your QB is.

 

I think it's becoming more clear by the day that Bryce Young will be our QB.

 

 

I think that's exactly what they did.

They wanted to get into the QB conversation.

there's always a chance the guy we want falls getting out of the shower or they find something gross on his laptop before the draft

^This 100 percent... don't promise someone the pick and then have to back out because something completely unforeseen happens. 

Let it be known a couple of days in advance of the draft and shift the attention to Houston. Until then, our name keeps being brought up on all sports channels, websites and twitter feeds. It's good, free public relations.

I got it but it still doesnt make sense.  We would trade to 1 only to go to 2 for one pick and the second best qb?   Nah it doesnt make sense.  What are folks thinking the texans would actually give us for 1?

Right now the reports are saying there are people in Carolina's camp that like both.  Say we are 55% Young and 45% Stroud.  Pick 33 may be enough to say yeah Stroud plus pick 33 > Young.  Maybe Houston thinks pick 33 is worth it to make sure they get the QB they want if they have a lot higher grade on Young than Stroud.

Stroud fans just won’t show up. Having fans show up with Stroud/Levis/AR signs would not be the best look. 
 

I get what they are doing. It seems most of these Bryce to CAR stuff is coming from Mortensen and King types. The old trusted guard. 

Are they not going to show up on Sundays too?

Chris Weinke won a Heisman and he wasn't all that special...

Hell, you don't even have to go back that far.

Baker Mayfield won the Heisman Trophy and he was dogshit.

Who says we would get the second best qb at 2?  No two nfl team boards are alike.  The fact that 50% like Young and 50% like Stroud is a solid clue.  The panthers may have these guys ranked the same.  Why not get a little extra compensation if available?

You’d have to be some weird obsessed individual to show up to a game in October with a Stroud sign.

Panthers may have some insider info that Texans want Bryce Young so the smoke is about getting them to give up a pick or two to move up to #1.  That is the most likely scenario in all of this.  Why would Panthers care if the fan base will be shocked or not.  I'm pretty sure most will be excited anyway, no matter which of the two we pick.  I still think it'll be CJ Stroud.

If its 55/45, then I'm probably sticking with my #1.  But if its 51/49 then I'm saying "make me an offer".  Texans may not want to guess who we like best or risk we pick their guy.  If the cost is 33, then they may think the peace of mind is worth it.

A nice wr may be sitting there at 33 that can grow with our new QB, and could help our new "2nd best" QB be even more successful.

Maybe Eason has a place on this roster long-term after all. Goalline QB that can give you those Cam-esque sneaks at 6'6".

Also might be why we are bringing in some heavy hitters at G for our top-30 visits. Bozeman is here for the long haul, but maybe want to beef up/improve one of the guard spots.

I really think the whole trade up scenario is a pipe dream by some people who would rather have Stroud.

Think this is a pretty good take on things

By this point and this late.  If they called up Houston, Houston is going to Know they probably aren’t taking the guy Houston wants, and that guy will be there at 2 anyways.  And they aren’t trading out of the top 2, so no threat of trading with someone else who will poach that guy.

Houston doesn’t seem to motivated to move up either.

 

I believe it was Sheena Quick and possibly Joe Person yesterday who said no one has even called to inquire/offer to move to 1.
