Were you wanting Howell? Looks like he is starting next year for Rivera.

Wanting and expecting it to be Howell. Was watching live when the trade was announced and just knew he was the selection, until it wasn’t. Not that I think Howell is going to be an all-pro, but I loved his value for our 3rd round pick. Knowing he lasted until the 5th made me sick we traded up. 
 

Obviously, Purdy looks like the biggest miss with that pick now, but I’m not claiming I saw that coming.

I've been watching this dude wonder around the forum pushing his idiotic anti QB drafting shtick. Stupidity giving me a got damn headache. He acts like we are the ones drafting the players, give it a fugging rest. The Panthers are going to trade up and draft a QB this year and if you think otherwise, you truly do not pay attention to trends and what our decision makers are saying in these interviews.

but yes hell31ok, please tell us more about how we should draft a FUGGING OFFENSIVE GUARD at 9 because our starting guard is recovering from a knee injury and might not be ready in time.

Oh he is awful. Nothing is worse than a smug comment from someone who doesn’t know what he is talking about. I mean we signed a former QB offensive HC to help us find a QB. Top 10 drafted OL are typically LTs (like the one we literally drafted last year in the top 10). We aren’t drafting OL in the top 10…

Purdy has a lot going for him in SF. HC, OL, TE, RB, and WR1 are some of the league’s best. Howell looked decent with much less in Washington.

It's usually the drafts where people think is weak at QB that have a couple of stars.

 

We need to grab one of these QB's. We can't keep going the vet QB route. At least draft one and try to develop them. I mean that's why we hired Frank for right?

100% I’m on board with getting a QB I’m just nervous about giving him a rookie QB plus a lack of 1st round picks for his first two years. 
 

I really hope we stay put but that’s mostly because my formative fan years were with Fox/Hurney.

Maye would be a top 3 pick in this year’s draft if eligible. Y’all can blah blah about ACC and talent if you’d like, but 6’4, 220lb QBs who can run and have an excellent feel for the game don’t come around too often. 

He would be buts it’s early.  He will be dissected just like everyone else.  Do like Drake Maye and his pedigree

As a neutral Auburn fan I agree. He might be the top pick…

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      That doesn't void his contract
