How much to move up to #2 in Draft?

The QB position was not the reason we lost this game today.

3 firsts and a 3rd to move into the top 2 most likely 

That move would hurt the Panthers more than it would help them because neither Young or Stroud are  a Andrew Luck, skill set  QB.

Fitt has made several blunders, but there is no way he trades up that far. I would have a stroke. Stroud might end up being like a Geno Smith or a flop, and consider the draft capital lost if he flops. Unacceptable risk imo. Draft a QB at 9 or whatever, or roll with Sam/Corral. I can accept either of those options, but if we move up I'm going to flip out on here worse than the Brian Burns trade debacle.

If you think Stroud or Young is it, then you go for it. Hopefully it takes less but they need a franchise qb that can come in and start soon

The absence of Jaycee Horn and Donte Jackson are the real story. Evans had touchdown receptions of 57, 63, and 30-yards.

That was their entire offense and the Panthers would have been a playoff team with a slightly better, or healthier, secondary.

We just now have a pretty good stock pile of picks, unless it’s trading for an already great established QB, I’d say hang on to them.

I don’t think there is a prospect worth 3 first round picks which seems to be the asking price anymore. Giving up next year’s plus a little extra for the right prospect is a big of a risk as I’d want to take.

I assume we will be picking at 8 or 9 and i’d rather trade down than up. We need so many upgrades I’d love another 2nd round pick. So many guys in the top 50 could come contribute to this team early. And if we trade down to teens and gain a pick I’d feel way more comfortable with Mayer being picked or taking a shot at Richardson knowing we gained a selection to help build out the team.

Bingo!   FYI, this QB class thinned out so drastically and so fast that some team is going to REALLY reach for Richardson.   He should be a second round pick, but he'll end up in the top half the first, maybe even top 10.  I hope it isn't us.  He's a boom or bust prospect that will need a lengthy developmental period, basically the Jordan Love road.  We don't have that luxury.
