CJ Stroud enters the draft

[chknwing]

if carolina wanted a qb in the first they would have tanked.  trading up for one is not even in the cards.  If they blow up the team this off season, all positions are fair game.

He's also not the only qb in this draft.  The team is not trading up for either of those 2 (Young or Stroud).

Lol....thanks for letting us know.

Just now, Jon Snow said:

Hold your breath until they do. That might work. 

You told what's going to happen so no need.  Thanks.

The dream of having something you won't get stays alive a couple of more months.

He is going top 3 and I don't want to see us do a Lance size deal. Oh well, it just raises the chances of one of the other 2 falling far enough to do a trade that is a lot more justifiable.

I would get Carr and also move up to draft him. 

[LinvilleGorge]

This is good. I highly doubt he's available at #9 but the more QBs that enter the draft the better it is for our QB needy team.

You guys don't actually think the Panthers are going to trade up for that guy do you?

I don’t but I think we may try to for Levis if he’s still there around 6-7. And this pushes him down

The NIL guy got Ohio state tweeted out “big news coming today” with the eye ball emoji and he deleted it…basically eye roll at duhhhh CJ is coming out.

Never know what we'll do. New coach, Tepper is clearly willing to bet the farm and Fitterer is in on every deal. A trade up for someone seems likely but I think it'll be after CJ is already gone... Which I understand but would love to have him be a Panther.

If you're going where I think you're going with this statement, you have to realize that the Panthers didn't "try and trade the farm for Watson," and that's why he's not here. 

[SmokinwithWilly]

I don't think we have any intentions of trading up. If we did, we would have pulled the trigger on the Burns trade. I know you need an edge rusher, but 5 1sts and 5 2nds over 3 years is a lot of necessary ammo to work with if you have intentions of moving up to get into one of the top 2 spots to get the most valuable position on the field. 

[Bear Hands]

We need offense, we need new life, we need a new coach.  If Young goes 1 or 2, and then someone jumps on Levis before Stroud, it's definitely going to be a possibility Stroud is a target. 

We can snarkily discount that possibility, but given Fitt's presser and propensity for trades, I'd waiver on the "I don't know, could happen" side of things.  

Chatter about Stroud is totally warranted given our spot and situation.  We're obviously looking at him, Young, Levis, & Richardson.

They definitely sent a trade package Houston’s way which was considered the best offer at the time. They didn’t want to guarantee all of that money though which is why Watson picked the Browns.

Who says they didnt tank? More so, what does tanking even look like? Did they announce it? Lol
