Neither Mahomes or Allen went #1 but plenty of really bad QBs have. I would rather have the best QB and not the most desired QB regardless of the 'experts' opinions.

This is a deep class, but not a star-studded class.  The QB hype train is only two cars long this year and the casual observers will get snagged in that narrative.  That's cool with me.  Hopefully Wilkes pulls out several wins, we trade back grab Mayer and take a QB at the top of the 2nd round.

Every year that train gets out of hand. For fugs sake it did last year and it was the worst class I can remember.

The NFL is a hype machine and the need for QBs makes it a guarantee that fans will belive some of the crazy and stupid crap that they come up with to keep people engaged. I get what you are saying tho. I just don't look until the kids are done with school. It takes all of the emotion out of it and makes it easier IMO.

I don’t think he’s a sure fire superstar but I would be ok with Levis.  He has a lot of upside.  Great size, big arm and pretty athletic.  Stroud and Young both scare me.  It’s so hard to get a gauge on how good Alabama and OSU QB’s are because they always have a stacked roster.

DO NOT WANT STROUD!!!  Ohio State QBs are trash in the NFL. Fields is 2 years into his pro career and he looks worse and worse. 

Will never understand the people that look at the helmet and nothing else. Stroud looks like an entirely different QB.

Panther fans be like "we should wait until next year" — every year.

It kills me, Young/Stroud are as good of prospects as anyone who has come out lately.  Every single player in the draft has some sort of risk, not very many have the prolonged upside as one of these QBs.  When you find yourself in a position to take a QB and you need one you take one.

Completely agree.  Assuming we are in the top 5, I don't see any other option than going qb.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
