I trust Natalie but it *really* seems like the Panthers are leaking we love Young so that Houston will give us a king's ransom to move up one spot

he's been hit or miss over the years. He had something about Cam a few years ago that was flat out wrong

I promise you the Panthers didn't trade all the way up to 1 and not have their guy in mind. My gut says its CJ Stroud and were trying to get Houston to blink and give us a high second round pick to take Young at one but I promise you the Panthers know who they are going to draft no matter what they say or leak

Breer has a checkered history with his carolina "insights" in the past and has been wrong before

We are likely looking at Mecole, Chark, OBJ Trade wise probably looking into Sutton and Hopkins My gut tells me is we end up signing Mecole and a mid to low tier guy and then end up drafting someone

The more I look at the two. I think that strong arguments could be made for both Young or Stroud and neither appear to be vastly better prospects. We're in such a good position and I can't emphasize enough how happy I am we traded up to 1 overall

yea I will be honest with you all I have purchased silver multiple times and am secretly ashamed of this lmao

I actually love the expansion. Loadouts is a fuging game changer, it truly makes the game a much more enjoyable experience. Story is not as strong as Witch Queen but gameplay is still great and Strand is fun.

we have an excellent young defense and offensive line, an A+ coaching staff and 150 million in cap next year alongside with good draft capital the next few years. What more can you want?

have you watched the Panthers for the past three seasons? There has been ZERO hope because you knew we weren't making any noise without a QB.

exactly. this is why Chicago traded with Carolina and not Indy or Houston

It is truly insane to me that people are upset we traded for the number one pick

Here is my conspiracy theory: There are *WAY* too many reports rn about chicago trading the number one pick. Like every national reporter is saying it. Poles is trying his damndest to drive up the price of that pick and cause Indy or CAR to panic and trade up. My sense is the league (not the fans) know this. I still come back to rumors that Indy loves Levis and Houston loves Young. I think the Panthers are in a good position to get Stroud. If that is at pick 3 that's fine. I really do think he may be there at 5 though with Seattle

Emmanuel Forbes CB Miss St. I'd take him with our first second round pick, and definitely with the 49ers one Josh Downs WR UNC Darnell Washington TE UGA Dalton Kincaid TE Utah

he's by far the best player in the draft. I can't see both Arizona and Chicago both in desperate need of d-line help passing on him

Again we come back to Pick 5 making a lot of sense. Anderson and Carter will go in the first 4 picks to Chicago/Arizona in some order Houston and Indy will both take QBs. my prediction is Young and Levis. Seattle makes too much sense. hx with the FO. Seattle will want to trade down as they miss out on elite talent but can still take a DE at 9. We take Stroud.

lmao

totally agree. Now if he is available in the rounds 4-5 you take that guy because you may have just found a Kirk Cousins type player. I'm fine with throwing multiple picks at QB this year.

Excellent news. We have tried the re-tread thing one too many times. It's time to get our guy and groom him. We have the perfect staff and team to build around a rookie. Go get your guy.

This brings me back to the Brian Burns trade. The rams are going to STINK the next few years. It would be so nice to have their first rounders and second *crying face*

I mean I would love Jalen Ramsey. Hell I'd probably instant purchase his jersey. But we have a void at QB and need all of our draft capital and resources in order to address that right now. It won't happen but if he were to get cut that's an entirely new ballgame but i suspect 31 other teams would be in on him as well

wasn't directed at you was directed at people in this thread freaking out about meeting with him. It would be negligence if we didn't do our due diligence on all of these guys. As far as Hooker being the best of all of these guys. Yea of course that could happen. Drafting a QB is kind of a crapshoot, that being said there are some serious concerns about his age, the system he played in and his health

We're going to meet with all of the top 5 QB prospects lol

we can only hope people doubt Bryce Young bc of his height. He is the best QB prospect in this draft That being said I think Houston wants him and may even trade up to 1 to get him

I'd much prefer Brissett over Carr due to price and I don't believe the talent gap is a large as some people would point out. Like the difference between the 10-12 best QB in the league vs. the 15-17th no matter what though we HAVE to get a rookie QB. we have kicked this can down the road for FAR too long
