If We Ended Up with Pick #1, Who Do You Beleive the PANTHERS would draft?

Who will they pick? They'll pick Ward at 1 so that Cleveland doesn't pick him at 2. No one will call Deion's bluff.

That said, I kind of wish we would take Sanders. He can then sit until the last day of the 2025-26 league year where we can then trade him to LV or some other place Deion approves for a king's ransom and draft Arch #1 in '26 (we're a lock for #1 in '26).

 

Take either one of them, sign Jameis, enjoy the comic relief until the young qb is ready

OT or DL

Ideally this team would recognize this team is not good enough for draft a rookie QB. I’d draft bpa 

[tukafan21]

T-Mac has Top 5 position potential by his second contract, not going to be many players with that kind of potential in the draft and it’s one of our biggest positions of need.

Having an elite WR can change an entire offense and he’s the best in the draft.

WRs with his combo of size/speed/hands are near impossible to find, don’t over think it, take the best offensive player in this draft and be happy

you really have to bring in a new coach & let him get his pick of the Qbs while you have the #1 pick.  without the #1  pick you are never going to find a decent head coach that would be willing to come to Carolina 

just saying

The wrong guy

It would be hard for me to pass up this guy...even for T-Mac

We can’t fire another coach now.

Our coach hasn't even gotten to pick his QB. He will this draft, and for the sake of the team he better get it right. I lean Sanders.

[Shotgun]

Right now I would go with Sanders. If he isn’t willing to play here then I would use him to trade back and recoup some of what we lost in the Young fiasco.

So many people leaning Sanders here; get with the program!

"According to ESPN's Matt Miller, 'multiple' NFL scouts have Ward as the No. 1 quarterback in the 2025 NFL draft class ahead of the likes of Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, Georgia's Carson Beck, Texas' Quinn Ewers and Penn State's Drew Allar.

Panthers will have qb options if they go that route.   I'd prefer a trade back and go from there 

[Jay Roosevelt]

If we end up picking #1 I imagine we're going to look to trade down, but I don't see any team wanting to move up that badly so we probably end up using the pick anyway.

In that scenario I think we take Sanders or Ward at QB.

Anyone with a clear eye can see Sanders is the better QB. Ward is cool, but he's still raw as a passer. Sanders makes NFL throws on a regular basis. We also seen Sanders have success with bad Oline play. 

 

Ward is more of a gamble at this point than Sanders imo
