The only part of this that doesn't make a ton of sense is why we were willing to go to #3 if we wanted Young all along. He was never gonna be at #3...

But these are dynamic situations and perhaps they didn't expect an opportunity to get the first QB on the board until it turned out the costs were nearly the same...

Yeah I could see us trying to get to 3 for AR/Stroud and Arizona wanting too much where an extra 2nd would get us Young.

Honestly a “Twitter” sticky would be nice. Any truly new information would have a full article. This stage of the draft season is rough.

I think Frank may of really been ok with Richardson or Stroud at that point and I bet he is still banging the drum for either of those 2. I think he likes Young but when he involuntarily mentioned  Youngs durability, he showed his hand in how he feels about him.  Then you have  Schefter going full blown Young and they have the same agency. This is far from done. Young could very well be the pick but I feel there is some resistance within our contingent.

I’m all for it the more time passes and the more I see stuff about BY the more I know I was right all along in not buying into the floor of Stroud. Shoot for the stars and get the best QB in the draft not the most potential or safest pick the best ALL AROUND QB.

exactly.

CJ Stroud is Kirk Cousins 

Bryce Young could be Drew Brees 

you take that chance

He also glowingly talked about Young at the combine press conference and then at that random press conference we had a month ago. More so than the other QBs.

Can’t wait to officially welcome him to Charlotte. I can’t remember enjoying an offseason this much. Glad we have a clear direction with a QB with elite upside.

Now that we know Bryce Young is likely the pick.

 

Can we get this dude a legit young weapon to grow with?

 

No disrespect to Thielen he's aging, and Chark is on a 1yr deal with a injury prone history.

 

If we can get a young WR or TE he can grow with would be nice.

Adding another young WR in this draft should be a top priority regardless. All of them except Thielen have a recent injury history and he's 33. QB/WR combo please. And add OL depth.

I still hope this is all speculation and Fitterer stays true to his word that they're not going to discuss the QB until they all come together next week.

With regards to an extra weapon - fug that, if they're going to risk their careers with Young you need to build an absolute wall in front of him. Dude does not handle pressure from NFL athletes well AT ALL.

Oline, yes. WR? Depends on if a better pass catching TE is available. Take the better playmaker regardless of if he plays WR or TE.
