Truth. There's every chance at pick #9  we'd be looking at the third or fourth best QB prospect. Or we could be taking the best LB, WR, TE or CB available.

The smart move is to pick the best player available and go into this whole draft not looking for a savior but for the person who will do the most to make the team more complete.

And Corral, we really don't know what we have there, but we do have a guy who has had a whole year of professional level meetings, teachings and resource availability. He may be more mature than any of the other options out there. We shouldn't just pass on him.

 

Honestly the offense doesn't need much in terms of free agent signings. Corral/Darnold, ink Foreman ASAP, maybe a veteran WR, but a splash TE would be a key addition. DJ with a top WR, a solid veteran slot/#3 and maybe some OLine depth due to these injuries where the guys shouldn't have been playing in the last game to begin with.

Defense is definitely different. Need pass rusher, middle linebacker, corner, safety, defensive tackle, you name it. No depth at all on this defense and it's swiss cheese to begin with.

Not to kick the can down the road nor subscribe to the classic "oh just wait on next year's QB crop....it's so much better than this year" bs, but what if we wait on our QB1 until 2024? 

We draft Johnston or if someone like Murphy falls to 9. Get our WR1 this year, save our draft capital from moving up and wait on next year's talent. Lots to like there and they are not Ohio State, 'Bama or UF QBs. Plus, we can see what our new HC/OC can do with Corral for a year, while bringing in a bridge QB. If it is Reich, a Brissett reunion + Corral would be interesting. 

You would have Johnston-Moore-TMJ-Shenault. Maybe snag Kincaid or Musgrave in R2 and then maybe Charbonnet/Evans/McIntosh at 61. Let's deck out the offense around our already top-10 OL add pieces for either Corral or next year's QB and let Reich/Wilks have a year to assess the roster. 

Truth is that Williams/Maye/Penix/Sanders/Ewers are as good....actually more tantalizing to me than Stroud/Young/Levis/Richardson.

to get to stroud we would have to give up next years pick so that pairing is a pipe dream

If they like a guy, a QB enough.  And feel it’s a good time to make a swing adding a young QB to this roster they’ve been building up.  They’d be willing to trade next years 1st

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      Strength of Schedule

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
