1) Carolina Panthers (from CHI): Bryce Young, QB, Alabama

Trade Compensation: Carolina Panthers receive pick No. 1; Chicago Bears receive 9, 39, 93, 2024 first-round pick, and 2024 third-round pick.

As it stands, the Carolina Panthers do not have a definitive answer at quarterback. Matt Corral did not feature as a rookie, and pinning the success of a new regime to the third-round selection from last year would be a bold start to the Frank Reich era.

The Panthers make a big move to go and get the top QB option available in Bryce Young. They have good pieces scattered across the roster and can afford to pay up to go from ninth to first in this 2023 NFL Mock Draft.

This would be a solid landing spot for Young’s fantasy value. The offensive line isn’t perfect, but it has some good pieces. In DJ Moore, Terrace Marshall Jr., Shi Smith, Laviska Shenault, and Tommy Tremble, there are at least some capable weapons. Young may not deliver huge production as a rookie, but he has a QB-friendly head coach, and the Panthers could add some pieces in free agency.

Usually, when you see proposals like this the teams try to equalize the deal in terms of the point value for draft choices. The team that moves up tends to get a couple of lower selections to balance things out. We don't appear to be getting anything in this deal besides the #1 draft choice. We're exchanging first round picks with the Chicago and giving then 4 other selections. I'd have to pass on this one unless all of the pieces were in place except for a franchise QB.

Mock drafts are only somewhat believable once the evaluation periods gets going in full bore(usually post-Combine). Then all the scouts and FO types start leaking info or the interest about specific players becomes more obvious so that the mock drafters can be even remotely accurate.

They are never accurate.  If any get 1 pick right it's just plain luck.

I understand that maybe some people in the organization might be on Levis.....I get that(not agree but I get it).

But making that kind of trade to get him? Bruh.....start at the top and start firing until you reach the field.

trading up to 1 for Levis is something that i see crackhead irsay doing on draft day. 

i would hope that we stay away from a move like that.

[PantherFanInPhilly]

LOL at the thought of trading up to first for Levis...yikes! Wouldn't want to do it for Young either.

I now see most mocks have the top four guys gone before we pick at 9. Should start looking BPA

[pantherj]

Fitt and our scouts don't have a clue which top QB prospect will make it in the NFL, if any. Their past guesses didn't pan out. Our new HC brought in a lot of QBs after Luck left, and it got him fired because they didn't pan out either if memory serves. My point is stay put if you want to take a QB. Don't go throwing away future first round picks on your wild damn guess. Spend our 1 first round pick on a QB, or pick up one in the second round, that way if Fitt and is scouts are dead wrong again we have another 1st round pick coming up to take another shot.

After watching the draft last year, the only thing I can say with certainty is Roger Goodell still sounds like a condescending asshole. 

[pantherj]

And never forget about Fitt sitting at his round table with his scouts talking about how great Sam Darnold could be if we traded for him. They don't have a clue. Their next pick at QB might pan out, but it would be a lucky guess.

Give them two 2nd round picks. No way you hand a conference opponent the 1st pick of the draft, the number 9 pick of the draft, and however much other draft stuff they have. 

Panthers need to focus on the core of talent on the team. We aren't a rookie QB away from being competitive so why would we trade everything this year and next year for one? 

Bro we are a rookie QB away from being competitive. We damn near made the playoffs with Sam Darnold.

Our rosters is one of the better rosters in the NFC. Our problem is QB! At some point you have to draft your franchise QB. You can't keep playing musical chairs with vet QB's every year.

 

Why do you keep delaying our obvious weakness of QB?

During the lead up to the draft folks were reporting live on air that Fields wasn’t a first in last out kind of guy. 
 

It was false then and then it’s been demonstrably false since. The new GM Ryan Poles already declared Justin Fields the 2023 starter.

Lets see if he is saying this after the Young/Stroud/Levis pro day. The hype doesn't start for these QB's until after their proday.

 

The new GM is not going to publicly say he is going to trade Fields that would lower his value. So that comment means nothing.

Neither Levis nor AR will be ready to start in '23. We have numerous holes at dline, edge, te, wr, lb. We don't have the cap room to fill all of those with free agents. We have limited draft picks. And if we made the playoffs, which we didn't in spectacular fashion, we would have been beaten by Cowboys even worse than the Bucs were.  Better rosters in the NFC? 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys, Vikings, Giants, Seahawks, Lions, Packers, Commanders.

There is quite the difference in being competitive and winning the NFCS right now. Making the playoffs with a losing record isn't something to cheer about. It's going to take more than a rookie QB to fix all the mess Rhule left in his wake. Not saying we don't need a QB, but that's definitely not all we need.

Cool lets just draft a WR and bring Jimmy G in.

Get us another mid rd draft pick and continue the process of passing on QB's because we aren't in position to get one.

 

Makes sense we been doing it for the past 3 years. The Frank era is going to be a disaster without a young QB. This team is going nowhere with a bridge QB. It's amazing how people are still suggesting vet QB.

Wilks went .500 with what Rhule left behind.

 

We hired Frank over Wilks im expecting a playoff appearance. Brady is gone. The NFC South is ours.

What are you guys talking about? Are we expecting a rebuild or something?lol
