Wow giving up picks to get the 4th/5th best qb in the draft? lol 

And it’s not just one spot value, going to have to offer more than the other teams 

The 4th or 5th QB taken doesn't necessarily mean he was the 4th or 5th QB on our draft board. You also can't look at things solely in terms of this draft class. There are 3-4 QBs in this draft who would be in #1 overall pick discussions in most draft classes.

Yeah man, I am not sure about that.  I doubt Lance is #1 under any circumstance.  Maybe fields but it seems teams are souring on him after evaluating.  Probably Wilson would go #1 and a hard no on Jones.

 

But just based on recent history 3 of the 5 will most likely flop out because they land in crappy situations without proper coaching.  If our staff feels like they can develop whoever is left then so be it if not I will not be mad making the 8 pick work whether its a tackle, surtain or trade back

I was specifically talking about Lawrence, Wilson, Fields, and Jones. If Goff can go #1 then so could Jones.

4th/5th best to who? Teams obviously have guys valued differently

Probably but it seems the shine is coming off fast on Fields now that teams are digging into it.  His slow progressions,  weird motion and then there is this

It's also prime lying season. I'm not saying those reports are true or false, but I've definitely learned to take this type of stuff with a grain of salt in the weeks leading up to draft day.

But again unless you have Lance way over Fields you will get one or the other. Or we could trade down and let someone who loves Fields give us the farm to get him and we can get a vet like Darnold for a 4th and draft a guy in the second and still be way ahead of the game. Especially if it true that we don't love anyone except for Trevor or Fields 

I'm very much falling in love with the idea of trading down / taking an elite player at #8 (preferably OT, but we'll see how the Draft falls) and trading a 3/4th rounder for Darnold.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
