I love these three picks by Brugler....someone that is one of the most tapped in scouts/analysts out there.

Moving up to 5 seems more realistic than going up to 1 or 3. We would be able to retain most of our valued picks without giving up the farm. Stroud is my favorite of the three and would take care of our biggest glaring need. 

Pairing Stroud & Gibbs w/ Steichen-Brian Johnson or Johnson-Duce Staley/Brunell with a re-signed Bozeman would be an outstanding start.

Also, the DL out of Georgia Tech that we took at 60 is also a low-key promising/upside draft pick. He's freaky athletic at 6'5" 285 and from NC originally. 

Thanks for the GT kid shoutout.  I should've just posted the whole thing in my OP, forget the Athletic is paid, but do highly recommend it for all who don't.  It's like 1.99/month

While I definitely agree with you, I think it all comes down to his workouts and how the scouts see him.  You cant trade away your first next year to take a qb just to take one. Over reaching for need puts a lot of teams in a hole quick.  In the history of the panthers how often has trading future draft picks worked well for us?

Yeah I agree 100%.  They need to be sold on him to draft him period, especially if they are throwing in future picks to acquire him.

This is a scenario some have been floating with Levis being projected QB1 or 2 by HOU or IND.  Some have been panning this, others promoting, and I think we all would find to be a conversation starter at the least. 

Next year's first is high, but this would keep most of our remaining picks in tact.  40 is nice to keep.  I'd maybe think one of our thirds and next years 2nd could do it.  2024 1st would for sure, but it's a steep price.

I hate to give up future draft picks but if the Panthers could obtain the No. 5 for Nos. 9, 93 and a 2024 first-round pick, I would be all for it.

Lol what? I agree with everything except you’re really comparing Hubbard to Gibbs? What makes you say that? Gibbs is 100x the pass catcher that Hubbard is. Gibbs also has another gear and twitch that is unmatched by Hubbard. 

Gibbs is a better prospect but has yet to play in the NFL. The real point is that we don't need to take Gibbs at #39 with our first second round pick. That is way to high for a rb when we have much bigger needs.

All the trade up talk will be moot when we give up this years first or next years to sign Sean Payton anyways.   I'm definitely against that more than trading up for Stroud but that's the way things currently seemed to be headed imo.  I'd rather bring in Steichen personally.

That's what I was thinking.  If we trade for Payton (gross) then we will not have our top pick next year.  That makes it very difficult to move up in this draft to acquire our guy AND makes it hard to land one in the next draft (which looks to be loaded).   I have a feeling the Payton route leads to an expensive vet QB like Brady or Carr and just screws up our cap/draft for several years.  Give me the new younger coach that will have the patience to develop a rookie QB plus our picks.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
