Who do you want? (Public Poll)

We’ve spent the last 4 off seasons building Defensive foundation pieces, OL, and locking down a WR1.

now it’s time to make the swing for a QB

I think this team is built and ready for a rookie QB, strong O-line, run game, QB friendly HC, strong defense. If we can find our franchise QB, I don't mind trading future 1st rounds because we won't be picking top 10 if we get a home run!

If Brees could do it, Young can. Just a question of will he.

There's been speculation the Young is more around 5'10" and 180 than 6'0" and 200.

At what draft pick?  1, 5  or stay at 9. And at what price? This year's 1 and next year's 1 to move up or the ridiculous talk about 3  1s and maybe more.  How did that work for SF with Lance. I would rather give up a 2nd for Fields and give him a proper offense that mortgage  a bunch of 1sts for Stroud.

Lance was the ultimate high risk/high reward pick.  He had 1 year of good play at a nobody school in Division 1AA. His athletic tools were there, which is why he went so high.  All the QBs, minus AR, at least have a large body of work against high level college talent.  Even AR did it in the SEC this year.

Stroud, but if it cost more than another 2nd and next year's first i'd totally be OK with bailing.

Stroud.

Truth is that there are lots of quarterbacks who can be developed who aren't high picks. We have seen a number of guys who were forced into action like Purdy for SF. To the point that spending a ton on any college player has to be weighed against finding someone you can develop with similar athletic tools.

I don't want to give up too much for a QB.  That results in not being able to get the pieces around him that will help him be successful. How many high draft pick QBs have gone to bad teams and then struggled?  I am going to trust our new staff to evaluate and find good talent at the QB position, as well as other positions and ..then develop them. We might have to be patient.  As good as he is, Andy sat Mahomes for a year.

Very true.  Just so happened in Big Cock Brocks case, that he stepped into a very complete team, with a great, QB friendly system, and an innovative head coach.  SF is proof that coaching and scheme are HUGE factors in the success of a young QB.

I put Stroud but I don't want to give up more than 1 extra first for him (maybe trading up to 3 or so if Levis goes first).  If the cost is too high I am ok with staying at 9 for Richardson.  Either way I'm happy.

Kyler Murray is 5'8 

His height is not that big of a concern it's his weight and frame.

Batted balls are not a concern?  Height, weight and frame are all concerns. Like I said earlier, if Young and AR-15 could magically switch bodies, I'd be all in on trading up for Young.

Fan Nation is a site that produces NFL content from current and former players, coaches, and executives. They too, are getting in the mock draft game, because why not?

In their latest mock draft, they project the Carolina Panthers to make a trade with the Seattle Seahawks to move up to the fifth overall pick to select Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud.
