POV: You are Joe Brady. What do you want in the draft?

If I'm JB, I want to make Sam a superstar. That will guarantee me a HC position next year. So give me weapons to show off my offensive genius. 

I agree, But if I'm JB- I want a quality LT. I am praying every night that Sewell falls to #8. I am also pushing to shore up the holes we have on Defense. Any smart offensive coach knows its easier win games when you don't have to score a tons of points every outing.

best way to help a young qb is to give them a decent check down target.  Pitts would give Brady something he doesnt have.  the 2nd/3rd is filled with OT/OG to choose from.

I wouldn't call Pitts a check down target, but there is no doubt he would help Darnold and the team. IMO though, Sewell is the option (if I'm TB). There are TE's that can taken later too that may have check down potential. The debate on this is probably moot, since neither are likely to be there at 8.

Yea CMC is the check down target. Pitts would be the #2

LT for sure, unless he’s not sold on Darnold, then it’d be whatever QB he likes best.

Yeah.  We have weapons and would’ve won more games last year with better QB play.  Teddy only started 4 of our wins.  So get an LT and pray that Sam is decent, or at least better than Teddy.

    • 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.
