REPORT: CJ Stroud is reportedly the “apple” of the Carolina Panthers’ eye at the moment.

I was thinking the same thing. Besides, Reich should be the one making this decision, or at least have a ton of influence. 

He, Fitterer and the scouts will set the rankings for sure. From there they will have to see what the chances are of getting the guy they like the best and where he is probably ranked on other boards. Then the next stepis to set plan B, C, etc., etc. It's an involved process with a lot of moving parts.

Wondering what kind of compensation it would take. 

This years’ swap, both seconds and next years’ first and possibly second - minimum.

Which I’d be in favor for. If it’s 2025’s first as well, I’d be hesitant but anything less, pull the trigger. 

If the scouts are all in agreement, get it done.

Could also add a player in to keep from touching the 2025 pick, which again I’d be in favor for.

I didn’t always think this way but I firmly believe high value coaches and players cringe seeing Tepper, his wife, and Rhule’s hired GM. Clearly this team is going no where without trading some value for someone, no worthwhile FA is coming here. 

It needs to be correct and calculated and I would prefer it be in the draft.

Normally I would hesitate as well, but it is time to get this done.

No

This team still has too many holes to give up that many picks to move up for a guy that isn't anything close to a sure thing, particularly with how deep next year's QB class is.  If one of the top 3 falls to us, or if we can move up a couple of picks without giving up our 2nd's this year or 1st next year, then you do that.  

But anything else just isn't worth it with this class, next year should have at least 2 if not 3 QB's who would be rated above any QB in this year's draft, and another couple who would all challenge to be top 10 picks this year.

I'd so much rather fill our holes this year, then next year trade away multiple 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks as needed to move up for a much better QB prospect.

Yeah... nah.

The track record of Ohio State QBs in the NFL is a long one. And a laughable, lamentable one. And even if we just narrow it down to recent times they've produced Justin Fields, Troy Smith and Dwayne Haskins -- two complete busts and one guy the Bears are talking up in hopes of trading him to some sucker team.

Let's move on.

Now do USC. It's not pretty.  We recently had living proof.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
