How much to move up to #2 in Draft?

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.

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

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.

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.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
