I am starting to get the feeling that our lack of involvement in the free agent QB market of late (Baker, JG), our comments/hints about wanting to move back, etc. might suggest that we will forego a top OT, trade back, grab a QB later, and play BC at T.

So much depends on our evaluation of Christensen.  The biggest smokescreen of all could be the fact that everyone assumes that we have no LT when the answer was on the roster all along.   Just spitballin' here!

And I realize that some of you think BC is not the answer, but this is my view of what they might be thinking.  Frankly, I hope we draft Cross or Neal--but then who do we play at QB?

That thought has crossed my mind.

I'd prefer we didn't, but it's possible.

If rumors are true, the draft starts with pick 6.

1. Jaguars - Travon Walker

2. Lions - Kayvon Thibodeaux

3. Texans - Derek Stingley

4. Jets - Icky Ekwonu

5. Giants - Aidan Hutchinson

6. Panthers

Best Available:

Sauce Gardner

Evan Neal

Garrett Wilson

Charles Cross

Kyle Hamilton

Drake London

Someone is going to want to jump up to our spot for Sauce Gardner (ahead of Giants, Seahawks, or Jets) or Garrett Wilson/Drake London (Giants, Jets, Redskins, Falcons, Vikings).

The Panthers should have people calling to move up. Especially from Jets, Texans, Seahawks, and Eagles (They have multiple firsts and more flexibility to trade away picks). I see a trade down. It will be too tempting for Fitterer to reject.

If all 3 tackles are gone and we cannot trade down

Willis

Willis is a long term enormous gamble. You would have to sit him for at least 1 season possibly 2 or more.

In that situation you are dumping PJ while keeping Sam. You would also have to bring in a vet to put Sam on the bench or on the street. Or you keep Sam as the starter and PJ as the backup until Willis is ready. You will have to extend Sam or get someone else until Willis is ready, if he ever is. 

It will be the almost the same for any of these QB'S I'm afraid.

Sheena Quick on QB speculation...

 

That's what pisses me off about Pickett (and this pro readiness) narrative..

It took him 5 years to be college ready..

And

He isn't assured to beat out Sam who has a strong arm and more athletic..

I'd do this for 13, 37, and 68 or 80

I think they REALLY like Garrett Wilson

We'd be a pretty ideal trade target to get ahead of ATL, NYJ, SEA, & WAS, all potential WR suitors.  And we're probably pretty tight connection wise after ongoing Watson discussions for the past 1.5 years.

We land 13, 37, 80 and a future 3rd (or something like that)

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
