Fields is destined for Vegas or a sleeper team. ATL and PIT aren’t happening. 

I think the actual interest in Fields is going to be very low until after free agency and maybe the draft. That is when you will see teams that didn't position themselves as well as they had hoped start to get desperate.

Fields is definitely one amazing runner and could be a great threat if he would just improve his passing skills. After this much time I doubt it happens but I do think he is better than Ridder and would definitely be an upgrade. Not for any break the bank deal though as I just dont think Fields has proven to be some top QB worthy of top QB money.

I would take Fields honestly if we could get him for a 4th.

 

Again it will never happen because we are set on making Bryce work.

I don't know if we're set on making Bryce work, but we're definitely set on giving him a fair shot this season with a new staff and (hopefully) upgraded roster.

Why rule out Pitt?  I think they could make it work if Tomlin wanted to.  Slash 2.0

I wouldn't rule him out, but the Steelers don't historically give up draft capital, much less before the draft has even started. The franchise is very conservative. That being said, I've heard that Fields is likely not going to have the market that he would like, and that the Bears are not going to get the compensation that they would like. If Chicago doesn't make a move before free agency, Fields may lose out in that QB game of musical chairs.

Ben Solak from The Ringer made the case for the Browns to trade for him, cutting bait from Deshaun.

Watson is a far better player than Fields. That makes little sense. If you want to bench Watson, just keep Flacco until Watson becomes cheap enough to cut.

Combination of their historical MO, Tomlin, Arthur Smith's preferences, and the rumors they want to give Pickett one more shot.  

I think that's who signs Tannehill as in-season insurance to Pickett and they'll end up in the QB hunt (maybe with us) come 2025.

Why don't you think PIT?  I saw where Tomlin was high on him and that Arthur Smith offense would work with him as QB.  

-never mind you answered this already.

      Draft Grades

      By jfra78 · Posted

      SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-

      Round 4 - Panthers draft Trevor Etienne RB UGA

      The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
