Stuart Smith

Would not be surprised if he had a Gino Smith type career.

Thanks for this post, more people can relate than you know.

Could be, but I honestly think it’s true. This decision is that important to this franchise.

I saw a big hug from Nicole Tepper to Bryce Young. Maybe I missed it, but did this or anything similar happen with Stroud? Bryce could start day 1. Not sure Stroud could start day 1. Not sure who Would be the best choice, just hope it is the best one.

My feelings as well. With Rhule….ohh boy.

They may have decided, who knows? It is also smart to wait in case the chosen pick does a “Jalen Carter.” That allows you to pivot in a worse case scenario.

The press conference by each is now on you tube.

I hope at the end of the year we are “Theilin” it. I want Chicago’s draft picks we traded for our #1 pick to be as high as possible.

Several positions, really concerned about cornerback. Not convinced “action Jackson” will be ready to start the season or if he will ever be the same after his injury.

I have confidence the folks in charge now are formulating a plan.

Keenan Allen has a monster contract, can’t afford. He played HS ball at Northern Guilford in 2015 when they won the state 4A championship.

The offensive line really came together last year after Bozeman was inserted in the starting lineup. We were very fortunate not to sustain any major injuries from that point on. I have concerns about quality depth. Injuries on the offensive line and lack of OL quality depth are not what a rookie quarterback who is a franchise player needs to deal with. I feel good about Cade Mays from what I have seen, but after him I am not sure who we have that is a quality replacement.

It might help a rookie quarterback. We need to provide this quarterback the best opportunity to succeed. Yes, I believe Hurst will be a big improvement over our existing tight ends. I believe most of the recent signings will prove out. We do need a running back that can catch the ball. I am going to give this group of decision makers the benefit of the doubt. Time will tell.

In my humble opinion I think Stroud is the choice and the receivers are being signed with that in mind. With the questionable life choices that some young people make a lot can happen before draft day. By not even leaking info about the #1 pick the Panthers could easily pivot on draft day and change the selection. We hope that doesn’t happen, but we have already seen it with Jalen Carter.

Next thing we hear is that the pick will be Stetson Bennett.

Keeping Zane Gonzalez, letting Eddy Pineiro explore his options.

I wish.

Stroud should be the Panthers Pick, the majority of Panther fans and the national media would be surprised if he was not the pick. However, It is smart not to telegraph this yet. With 40 days before the draft anything could happen to a draft pick to diminish his value. It is not likely, but an unknown character concern could surface, an injury, auto accident, etc.

Last year it was the hands.

If Foreman can do as well as he did last year at a reasonable price tag I would like to keep him. I understand you have to manage the cap, but when we can retain players who have performed well as a Panther I wish we could keep them. I know it is a business and sometimes we don’t know all the facts.

Why didn’t they just trade for the 4th spot to begin with and not give up Moore. The Panthers are going to use the #1.

I hate to give up on Corral before he even gets a chance.
