Obviously a lot of this depends on how these guys play this year, but for as many potential 1st round options on that list, it's a least very promising even at this early juncture.  This 2023 class may turn out to be better than the 2021 one that I was wanted to grab a QB.  If DJ and Rattler can turn in sharp performances, they can easily jump into the top 10...and I think they will.

I agree with what you are saying but if they go from bad/benched to good the next year isn’t that kind of a one year wonder? Regardless it’s not some unicorn loaded class yet IMO. There is definitely talent to be had though.

I feel like there's two posts that I see here on an annual basis...

1) Next year we're gonna have a lot more cap room

2) Next year's quarterback class is more interesting than this year's

As I recall, last year around this time, some folks were talking about how great Sam Howell and Spencer Rattler were going to be and how we should wait on them.

There just aren't any guarantees.

You are missing the point.   There will be infinite more choices next year.   Everyone and their brother acknowledge this

Very true. Unfortunately we just don't have the draft capitol to gamble this year, especially at 6. Not playing a lot of our draft picks from last year has really hurt us because we have no idea what we do or don't have. Last year's failure was much larger than the record reflects.

No argument...

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
