Hi Nat, curious what you base this on? Is it actual sources or industry people best guesses? Seems like there have been very limited leaks and everyone is guessing. Thanks 

"sources of industry people best guesses"
Would be the most accurate way to describe it. I do not have someone directly in the Carolina building.

Since she's seen the draft board it would have been awesome if she had snapped a photo for us.

Next time I am in Charlotte I will make sure to grab it for you 

I love Drew Sanders. I feel like he can be a dominant edge rusher really early.

I really enjoyed the Twilight movies personally. 

Here is my report on him. I think they would definitely target him at 39.

Could also blow the lid off this draft if the Texans aren't goo-goo gaga over Stroud.  Ryans may want a *potential monster like Anderson.  

Then that could throw AZ into a tizzy without their expected man there.  Could trade down w/SEA for example.

And the Colts would still be screwed hehe.  

1-CAR Bryce Young

2-HOU Will Anderson

3-SEA (from AZ) CJ Stroud

Now THAT, that would be wild.  

Texans are going to take one of Stroud or Young. I feel pretty comfortable in that. So they will be taking Stroud

Please no more WR's.

 

Get a starter at #39

 

If we can get a DB or Edge Rusher that would be awesome.

Given that you can operate with four wide receivers and there is a strong chance we lost Thielen and Chark next year, it just makes sense to get a guy now. Especially with this class. 

Lots of good receivers and edge rushers at that 39 slot. I imagine we would go in either direction.

@Verge who should the panther target at 39th, somewhat realistic players a few of them. 

Maybe who you think they should 

and

who you think they will. 

I think they still need wide receiver and defensive line/edge help. Feels like the perfect spot to get either of those.

Verge who do you think the Panthers are trading up for?

Bryce Young.

Young has a good enough arm to make all the throws, but Stroud was throwing dots today.

Yeah Young's arm is fine. His touch and accuracy are what separates him. The way he layers footballs on the move is unreal.

this person had us taking Joey Porter Jr. in their first mock of the year just FYI.

let's work together and stop giving these sort of accounts the attention and credit they desire.

 

As I have explained previously, this was a no trade up mock and I was asked to make it interesting. I have never not had Carolina trading up for a quarterback. My mock 2.0 with trade ups I had them making the move to number one to take Young back in February.

this new era of wanna be twitter talking heads that write for some unknown sports blog just throwing poo at the wall and seeing what sticks is so annoying.

"the sources I know say ____"

if it hits, they get to retweet and add to their rep.

if it misses? not a peep. Remember the Deshaun Watson crap from this account?

"my source says it'll be today guys!"

claiming their "source" says Bryce is going number one is a really safe bet. that poo will probably stick.

we're all out here just guessing.

I was pretty on point with the Watson stuff idk. People bring this up for some reason, that whole thing was a debacle. 

I am not going to be mad at any of the quarterbacks going one outside of Levis and Hooker.

I mean if you would take at 3 why not at 1? It's no different.  A franchise qb is worth that measly difference. 

Because Bryce Young is the better quarterback and a more sure fire thing. Don't get me wrong, I love AR, but I would never take him over Young. 

They definitely like Richardson, but that seems like if they trade down to three for whatever reason. Conviction on all three guys wasn't a lie.

I think calling Stroud a 'physical marvel' is a very big stretch lol

The team won't even tell our new number 1 WR who we're drafting, but I'm sure this girl who cares more about fake social justice than football knows the truth.

Where do you guys even get this stuff lol

Natalie has been hit or miss, generally pretty good but I’m not buying this as gospel at this point.

That is probably a good idea. I think things could change. 

Much respect to him for not just going along with a consensus, doing his own work, and putting it out there. Love to see each persons perspective on these guys. 

It is near impossible to project injury in the NFL from the draft room 

Would seem like a luxury pick at this point, and I am not so sure we are good enough to do that. Ultimately if a TE is the best player available at our second pick, you would obviously consider it, but we desperately need more help at receiver and edge rusher.

So supposedly all this smoke screening is for a trade but in my opinion it doesnt happen. I think texans would be perfectly fine with Stroud IF we took Young. Panthers are gonna have to pick whoever their top guy is. 

Was talking to a Texans beat writer and they pretty much said the same thing. Bryce is preferred, but they are not going to throw a fit if they have to sit there and take Stroud.

She said all that to say absolutely nothing.  "My other teams connections say Young is the 1st pick on their boards" so therefore he's the Panthers 1st choice as well.

I can only post the information available to me. I do not know who the Panthers have as their number one as I have said previously. I do know a few teams have Bryce as their #1 which would create at least somewhat of a consensus.
