No guarantees of that.  Believe it or not, there are some pretty bad teams out there.  But we will likely have at a minimum, a top five pick.  

And that's good enough, racing for number 1 will always be dumbfounded and the reason  why you can't keep in players around.

That top 5 should be the best edge rusher in the draft too, not a QB in a middling quarterback draft.

Or just the best defensive player available. If there isn't a edge worth that spot then i dont want to reach, thats not how you operate. We need blue chip talent period preferably on defense at all positions. Take the best guy who will make a instant impact or trade down if you have offers.

Man, BigKat has been having a really rough year or so getting brutalized in his threads

We can play Bryce a few games later. I want to keep getting a fair look at our young receivers in the meantime.

Yes I want to see Coker get legit WR2 reps. He reminds me of a Thielen/Cotchery type but young. Already a better route runner and separator than XL, less gimmicky, just a pro vibe

I think they should run Dionte and XL at 1 and 2 and put Coker in the slot

We need to trade back

And this guy was a Bryce fanboy until the moment he was benched, too.

I'm really over Bryce.  Sure, I'd love for him to pan out long term and become the man around here, but let's be realistic: the Panthers are over Bryce.

Look, he's a really nice kid.  Great person.  I bet he'd be a great match for your 20 something daughters.  Great!

But he's not looked like a real NFL QB except for a few times.  In 2023, I squinted SO HARD to find the NFL QB in there, and I convinced myself he could do that.  He's not.  He's a great practice QB.  He looks great during practice, but when the hitting is live he leaves the brown in the bed.  

We will have to figure out the long term QB plans.  Not now.  As several have said on page 1, there are grown men playing for jobs, checks, and their families.  Either Bryce helps them, or he stays on the bench.  I'm fine letting him play in garbage time.  That's what it is.  No one on the team wants him to start anymore.

Will we see him again?  Probably.  Over 35 QBs have a tendency to get hurt.  Dalton is no exception.  That's when we'll all be FORCED in to the Bryce Young experience again.  Not looking forward to that...

I hope they're working hard with Plummer.

I agree, I would rather see him than Bryce again.

I only ever want to see Bryce playing against us. That won't happen though.

As long as we get it because we suck naturally, and not in some crazy tanking thing, I am ok with getting a top pick.  

The only NFL team I can say clearly and absolutely tanked was Miami, and all it did was take them from a team that sucked terribly because they had no talent to a team that sucked slightly less bad than we do because the qb they tanked for gets injured a lot.
