    Vegas Odds on First Overall Draft Pick

    My guess is either Richardson or Levis falls drastically.  It happens every year.  I bet it's Richardson.  He will be a 2nd or 3rd round gamble for someone.  

    Richardsons game tape passing the ball is not great at all. Projects dont go in round 1, but someone may still bite because unlike last year, there is gonna be a run on QB's early.

    Food for thought on The Trade and the Pick.

    in Carolina Panthers

    Posted · Edited by Doc Holiday

    So, I wanted to share some broader picture food for thought from a long-time offseason huddle vet.
    There has been a lot of chatter around the Panthers trade that can be straight up ignored, headlines such as us being willing to trade back, us keeping all the QBs open as options, and Tepper liking Young and Reich liking Stroud, yada yada yada, Its all meaningless hype and conversations starters for the Draft which is still 46 days out.

    The NFL pushes these narratives because they want fans to remain involved and excited for the Draft. After all, if the Panthers came out and said who they were drafting right now, which there would be nothing to stop them from doing just that at this point, it would kill the ratings for the early draft order because right now you'd pretty much know it 46 days out if they said who it was now. Yes, some hardcore fans like us would tune in anyway to watch, but your casual fans wouldn't the moment they knew who the pick was, and that's the reason for all the misdirection headlines we have read since the trade happened. Also, if you're newer to watching the Draft, the NFL used to let the teams make the announcement way in advance, and they made them stop doing that before the Draft just for this very reason. I think once, the player even had the contract worked out before the Draft.

    Something else to consider: You only spend that capital on a trade if you're 100% sure who you'll draft, especially considering part of the cost was DJ Moore. Because DJ Moore is part of the trade package, Panthers have already decided who they are drafting and are 100% all on board. Tepper would have had to sign off on a trade like this, so this narrative that the Tepper and Reich are split is entirely false. And with that said, the Panthers, in a roundabout way, have said who they're drafting, but I'm not going to spoil it for yall if you haven't figured it out yet.

    It's Stroud btw

    Quite simply, Watson is twice the pure passer Lamar is. 

    This right here, Lamar the Passer isn’t that good. And I’ve never been that impressed with the few games I’ve seen from him.
     

    I know Cams stats weren’t as good as Lamar’s, but Cam in his prime was a better overall player than Lamar has been imo. Cam got a lot of incompletions and drops because he threw a hard pass and didn’t have a receiver worth a damn outside of Olsen. Cam’s accuracy didn’t fall off a cliff till after the shoulder injury.

    2 things to keep in mind

    1)...Long time until the draft. (April 27)  The QB predictions last year did not pan out on draft day.  This staff just getting together and starting their in depth evaluations.

    2) The Panther ship was locked up pretty tight for leaks during the coach hiring process.  Expect the same now. Rumors or articles on who the team likes are just clickbait.  We know nothing.  Too early in the process for the brain trust to have their evals complete and you can bet the FO and coaches are not going to let other teams know who they like or what they are doing.  I know we have gotten  used to checkers but this is high level chess now.

    Great takes. I will say the draft class this year is far better than last years, with at least 3-4 first round QB’s last year only had 1 by comparison.

    with that said the only QB with a true #1 grade from me is Stroud. Everyone else has one or more issues. 

    I made a stupid mistake trying to sell this house

    So, can’t speak for certain without knowing exact info, which I honestly don’t care to involve myself in. But 100% sounds like you’re being scammed. 
     

    it may be worth talking to a local agency to see if there has been a similar scam around. You also may need to consult with an attorney with regards to breaking contract with your current realtor. 

    you should be asking a bunch of questions in a very stern manner and I wouldn’t pay a dime unless I was fully satisfied.
     

    People don’t do $5k worth of work and then ask for it all at the end. No reputable contractor does this, part of why I think it’s a scam. 

    Anthony Richardson draft stock

    in Carolina Panthers

    Posted

    So, just to remind everyone many people were putting a top 10 grade on Malik Willis last year. don’t get too caught up in the physical attributes hype.

    The main point of the combine is to look for red flags, or if you’re 50/50 split on someone too find some sort of deciding factor to pick one over another. That’s it. 

    when it comes to QB’s you’re picking them based on 1. Potential 2. Risk. And of their risk of what kind of risk is it?

    Only player Richardson has jumped in my opinion is Levis and that’s only because of his super weird milk phobia. That’s a red flag on Levis’s part not due to anything Richardson has done.

    my Top 3 QB’s

    1. Stround - high potential and lowest risk (has NFL size and skills)

    2. Young - Highest potential and moderate risk due to size

    3. Hendon Hooker - his main negative are the ACL(which he had a good update at the combine) and his Age.

    After that it’s a crap shoot honestly.

    Panthers met with Hooker per report

    So, Hooker is my number 2 QB on my board, behind CJ Stroud. 

    I also don't believe Bryce Young will go in the top 15 of the NFL draft. His size will likely scare a lot of teams off him. Before you say that Murray was drafted high, Murray is short and stocky; Young is short and a stick. Big difference.

    F*cking HUGE! Evero is gonna be a hot commodity as a HC next season. Gonna have to see who will be in his staff to take his place.

    unfortunately for him but good news for us, is that many NFL teams want offensive not defensive coaches, so maybe we can enjoy having him for a bit. will be curious to see how it shakes out, normally we dont get to enjoy top tier coordinators very long before they get picked off by other teams.

    Matt Stafford only went to the playoffs once... Drew Brees only went to the playoffs once before the Saints....

    people forget sometimes the issue is the team they are on. yes the raiders are in Vegas now, but they are still the recent raiders and havent been really relevant since they traded Gruden away.

    Talk about all time worst and best trades in the NFL.
