I was thinking more of trading back into the late 1st early 2nd. 

Fitterer is not opposed to use players as trade bait for a draft slot. He's mentioned it on more than one occasion. He seems itching to try it at least. 

Trading back into the 2nd or even first is going to be more draft capital, players wont get it done.  If we give away our 2023 first for a qb that has slide in this years first then I honestly and truly will delete my account here and be done with this team.

Zappe has a noodle arm.  Like the crappy ramen style, not even like a solid linguine like Pennington.  

Willis, Corral, Howell, & Coan would be my only ones for consideration if we somehow move down or find ourselves in a situation picking between 6 & 137.

Be prepared for anything my friend.  This current front office seems hell bent on getting a "franchise" qb no matter the cost.   If you go by what they've said publicly next year's picks are not off the table. 

Now I do not think they would necessarily resort to that but I would not rule it out.  

Given the state of things in Panthers land getting a QB has always been at the top of the list. Yes, a LT is still a top wish list but it's always been number 2 in the team's view, or should I say Teppers. 

They will take a qb somewhere in this draft. No, he won't be a franchise qb right out of the box. Yes, he will be better than what is currently on the roster.

The only thing that will stop them from getting one is not getting an opportunity to pick any of them.

Yeah, that dude was FUN to watch in college in that offense. I'm just not seeing translatable NFL traits. Not every great college player has translatable traits.

Same to be said with Strong in that Nevada offense. 

Not only were the reports about him interviewing poorly/being kind of a turd recycled at the combine, but his pro-day was apparently a flop and there were the reports about him struggling.  He may be a rare case of a pro day causing stock to drop even further.  Strong may end up a 5th to 6th rounder. Zappe, maybe 6-7 or UDFA.

Strong definitely has an NFL arm but I don't think his arm is all that special. Kind of a run of the mill good NFL arm.

The next year's draft picks not being off limits or being available is huge. What if our crowd decides to one up the Saints and trade like them but trade with the Giants to get 5 and 7. Giving the Giants 6 plus next year's 1st rounder plus whatever it takes. We then draft in their view a franchise Qb plus a LT in this year's draft. I'm not in favor of this but I think this whole group is desperate to get a Qb, but they know they have to get a 10 year LT too. Crazy times right now.

Fitt just admitted in his last presser that they didn't bring in Russell Wilson when he was in Seattle so people would think they weren't interested

What if by sharing this information he was steering people away from the idea that he is really interested in one of the players he's meeting with and not one of the players he's not visiting with?

Like Fitts said about them and Russell and what smart teams do.

They act like they don't want/like a guy but they've done their homework.

Anybody can say whatever but on the football field Carson Strong is a star...

Um... That type of trade would look something like #6, our next two 1sts, and Brian Burns. That still might not be enough.

@Thompcat I swear I have thought the same thing! If we weer that willing to give away next year's 1st anyway... then if the Giants are that determined  for future Picks, it's definitely  on the table. If the have in their mind that 1 If these Qbs is their guy and they can get a franchise Qb and Left Tackle in the same draft..... #Fittcanthelphimself

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
