There is this minor detail that could become an issue as the draft draws closer.

Instead of using the pick to hire Payton, use a second rounder to move up in the draft.  Take Levis...Reich is supposed to be the perfect coach for him...(not an endorsement--I simply read an article, enhancing my overall knowledge).

Just throwing it out there.

And since you asked (nobody), I am not as high on the first two rated QBs and I am warming to #3 (Levis) and #4 (Richardson).  So there is that.

Although not a fan of hiring Kafka, one game does not make anyone a good/bad hire for HC, Steichen included. This time last year a lot of fans wanted Byron Leftwich as HC, now no one would consider him. With young coordinators, it's going to be hit or miss whether they have the leadership and motivational abilities to do the job, just not play calling or scheme.

We all need to cook our jets on Kafka and Steichen. Let the interviews go down (hopefully in person soon) and see what happens.

I’ll be sick if we trade up for Levis.

Levis and AR are definitely exciting, high ceiling QBs. If we land Steichen or Kafka they both make intriguing picks that need developing.

I would still be fine with Kafka. No way the Giants are a top four team in the NFC. But they had a great game plan all year due to our boy. 
 

That said, on this teeter totter of emotions Panthers fans call a coaching search, I have moved off of my Steichen/Kafka 1A, 1B thoughts. I am now firmly Steichen one and Kafka two. With Payton at three, mainly due to draft compensation. 
 

Let’s go to Philly and get our man.

      Alejandro Avila: Are We Really About To Hand Offensive Rookie Of The Year To An 'Okay' Receiver?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down.

      We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.

      Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
