TE is low key #1 on the needs list 

My dream scenario is trading back and selecting TE Michael Mayer while acquiring an additional 1st in 2024. Then using that, if need be, to make sure we land Drake Maye next year. Just let Corral have his chance next year.

God forbid we actually compete in our remaining games.  It's so much better to suck so we can have the draft pick of your choosing. 

Your either a contender or not what’s the point of costing ourselves assets for moral victories that shouldn’t matter to professionals

Rd1-QB -Bryce Young/Alabama

Rd2a-TE -Dalton Kincaid/Utah

Rd2b-DE -Andre Carter/Army

Rd3-MLB -Jack Campbell/Iowa

Rd4a-WR -Jermaine Burton/Alabama

Rd4b-OLB -Payton Wilson/NCSU

Rd5-C -Joe Tippman/Wisconsin

 

Lol, I've run nearly that identical simulation! 😀  It's based on need too.  I've looked at our cap for next year and Elflein, Wilson and Haynes needs to be cap casualties.  So that's a C, MLB and edge.

Big time on the Mayer train, but failing to move Burns scrapped that notion.  We will not move back in the top 5 and Mayer won't last to #33.

I think this is best too. The defensive talent at the top of this draft is unreal. I’m not wild about entrusting the franchise’s next 3 years to any of these QBs. Trade back. Get the best player available in the middle of round one, and have all the ammunition in the world to go after the first pick next year to draft Maye. Maye is worth it.

I can see a scenario where the top 2 QBs are gone and a team is willing to lose value in a trade to acquire Anderson/Carter. If someone in the 7-12 range wants to swap picks and send a 2024 1st and more, I’m for it.

You don't get it. 

First, Professional Football players and Organizations don't live around the draft.  It is one part of a whole season.  It's not like there is only ONE good player in the draft.  There are other options to be considered.  2023 draft doesn't have that for sure Franchise QB.  Tanking for the first spot does not guarantee you've solved your teams' problems. 

Second, it's called a loser mentality.  Wilks is trying to establish a winner's mentality and you don't throw games when you still have a chance to do something.

The Phillies are a perfect example.  They were on their way to a losing record.  They switched coaches and snuck into the playoffs.   They Beat Atlanta and the Mets to make it to the World Series and are in a position to win it all.  Granted Football is a one and done scenario but there have been several underdogs with "NO SHOT" at winning the SB, who actually win it.   Who knows what can happen.  Our division is up for grabs, and we are still in it.   

Because you have no faith and have given up on this team doesn't mean the rest of us have.  We are playing better and actually are enjoyable to watch.

Agreed. His combination of measurables, arm talent, ability to read the field, and running ability is rare and elite. Plus he has moxy and is great with the media. 
 

The trouble is I think we’ll have to have the #1 pick to land him.

I do get it and it’s called a productive struggle. We should be playing a lot more young players treating this season as a pre season. You think the players are gonna feel like world beating winners with 6 wins for the year instead of 3 no. What it will do is cost us value for the draft.

Go tell the players and coaching staff these games are meaningless.

You're thinking as a fan not a player.  I got you think they should just throw the season away because we are two games behind the leader that we just lost to in overtime.   Got it.   The entire team from top to bottom including management isn't thinking about 2023.  They want to win now and won't stop trying until they are mathematically eliminated.  

I don't know if you remember 2004.  This team was decimated with injuries.  This was the year Smitty broke his ankle right out the gate.  I believe we were 1-6 and went on a tear.  We won like 6 out of 7 and put ourselves in a position to make it to a wild card spot.  You just can't give up because you have a losing record.

I get if we are mathematically eliminated that we play younger players.  Makes sense but until we are eliminated, they won't stop trying to win.   

I don't see how you don't get this.

I’ll let you in on a little insight I’m thinking like a fan because I am one. I care about the team not individual players or coaches. Trust me I know the players and coaches want to win but blind Freddy can see they’re in the bottom 5 sides in the league. How many times do people say that they should of given player a or player b some snaps so we have an idea going forward that’s why we need to treat this year as an roster evaluation year. 
 

And don’t try and sell me on scraping into the playoffs because of our garbage division. Then getting 50 hung on us in the wildcard round, all while losing a poo load of draft value would be the best path to improving our sides future

      That argument could be used for actual trolls. “If you don’t like it find somewhere else to post” is just silly. Some of us are just letting you know, you are sounding like a broken record on these threads. It’s just some constructive criticism. You don’t have to change your ways. I doubt you will. Just wanted to make sure you were aware. Feel free to deflect and use one of those GIFs again.

      It went from he has to jump to he has to bend his hips. That’s changing it. I showed you clips of him throwing deep without jumping which means he doesn’t always have to. I liked and like Stroud better so I’m not really a Bryce defender. Just think you don’t have to make up things when critiquing our QB like he has to jump to throw it deep. There is plenty of ammo there without those exaggerations. Oh yeah the “you don’t know ball” argument. Classic.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By strato · Posted

      I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans.
