You sure do comment on my threads a lot 

Just now, FugginPoo said:

Another aspect that may make Reich favor Stroud not being talked about is Stroud being a Christian character guy and Reich has a theology degree from RTS in charlotte… 

Young is very high character. His father is a therapist and motivational speaker.

This is obviously not true lol

combining the last 3 draft classes.  

How would you rank the QBs by the grade you had them coming out.

@Verge I saw your write up on Keion White.  I’ve seen a few people say he Could slip out of rd 1.

Do you think he can play 3-4 DE in a defense like ours.  Or is he better suited for a 4-3 base? 

He could play either. I think he's better suited as a 3-4 interior guy though.

I personally like Bryce better (still love Stroud as well). But what do you take from all the love of everyone pairing and talking Stroud to be the pick here.  Including Vegas who believes it.

I guess it makes sense. I still think it is Young though, he is just the best player on the board. 

I actually had entirely forgot to link you guys to the mock that I had published in late February. So here it is. I am working on yet another one today and that should be published by tomorrow and I will share it here. Spoiler alert, my pick for us on both is the same.

I’m ready for the 2.0 draft now @Verge

I actually entirely forgot that I had published a mock draft after this one and forgot to post it here. It has us moving to number one and taking Bryce Young published Feb 26th. Enjoy. 

Working on my newest one today.

Trading up in general or trading up to #1?

Hope you put money down

@Verge

What are your thoughts/the thoughts of your contemporaries on Tanner McKee?

Seemed to be getting some hype pre-combine but that seems to have gone completely silent. 

He is strictly a pocket passer but has a cannon for an arm. Wondering if the lack of mobility or his history of cancer is getting him dinged down boards.

I think he could go in the early 3rd. Has some real nice tools. Will stick in the league for a while.

Thank you for your valuable input as always. 

here is my scouting report on Bryce Young

Like I said, it's possible.

I just wouldn't put money on it.

I would.

So if we are offering to move up to 1 has the panthers already decided that Corral is nothing more than a backup? They seemed stoked to have drafted him last year

I think they realize they cannot let a question mark at the position linger any further regardless of how they feel about him.

So basically we need to be sold on Levis or AR and we trade with the Cards if we can?

Yep. I have heard (like everyone else) that they are very aggressive in seeking the trade up.

@Vergehow do you see the Bears playing this out? If I were the Bears GM, I would try to trade down first with Houston, then with Indy, collecting as many picks along the way as I could.

And, what do you see the Panthers having to give up to get to #3? Has Arizona indicated they are willing to trade back to 9?

I see the Bears fleecing someone before FA. Pay the premium to make it happen before then. My sense is that Indi obviously has the best shot of moving up and our ideal spot is Arizona. If we land on being okay with the top three guys it makes sense for us to move to three and let one of them land on us.

@Verge

what are your thought on Will Kunkle stating his sources have Young and Levi’s QB1 and QB2 then a large gap to Stroud at QB3 and they don’t really like ARich.

 

I don't believe that is true from my understanding. I think they are big on Young and Stroud. I am not entirely sure of their opinion on Richardson yet but I am going to do some digging.

Listen it's not like one of my in-laws was one of his coaches in highschool and I would finally be kind of in the social circle of the homegrown Panthers QB.

Not at all.

It also helps there is no way he leaves New York

Any chance we can get a peek at your top 5 LBs & TEs?

Overall thoughts on both of those groups for this class as well?

I am still doing reports on some of these guys but 

Off ball LB: 
1. Drew Sanders 
2. Trenton Simpson 
3. Daiyan Henley 
4. Henry To'o To'o
5. Noah Sewell 

TE: 
1. Dalton Kincaid 
2. Darnell Washington 
3. Michael Mayer 
4. Luke Musgrave 
5. Sam LaPorta 

I think it is a very deep tight end class, a not so deep linebacker class.

@Verge what is your sense of where the Panther ultimately land and who they take? I'm personally hoping they go all in and jump to one, but realistically what is your insight?

I think they will try to go to one but be unable. I think they like the top three guys enough to jump to three, similar to the Goff/Wentz situation years ago when Philly went to 2. 

More opportunity for Brandon Smith.
