Mahomes was a QB traded up for… Just saying..

Yes he was. But not a trade into the top 5.  What the Chiefs gave up for that pick was really not that much. They had the 27th pick that year. They traded that with a 3rd rounder and their 2018 first round pick to move up.

 

That’s reasonable. Compare that to what other teams have traded to move up into the top 5 for a QB.

Just saying that’s a lot of criteria to make a point.. When in reality depending on the situation trading up has worked for teams and is a necessity when you are convinced that player is a difference maker..

Completely agree.  My point was to say trading into the top 5 for a QB isn’t the sure fire way to win a Super Bowl the way some seem to feel it is. Plenty of teams have found success throughout the draft and through free agency and trades. 
 

 Another note to consider is the influences on Fitterer and Reich. Seattle was able to get to three Super Bowls and win one in the last 20 years with a 6th round and 3rd round QB.  Philadelphia won a Super Bowl with a 3rd round QB and just got to another Super Bowl with a 2nd round QB. 
 

Of course that doesn’t mean that is the only option. But I don’t think Fitterer and Reich will be locked in on only looking at QBs in the top 5 of the draft.

Why is nobody suggesting Aaron Rodgers?

 

Im like the only person who has discussed the idea. A 2 year run with Rodgers would be worth it. Would be like the Brady/Bucs run. We have enough pieces to win the NFC with Rodgers. Maybe get him a TE in FA and we are set.

Because Rodgers may wind up with the Jets.

Just not convinced there is one in this draft.

My thought is to trade up for the #1 draft choice, assuming the Bears are gullible.  ( I do not recommend a Mike Ditka style, trade away the future.  ). Leave that for the Saints.

my 2nd choice is to bring in Carr if available.  (There are several teams trying to bring in Carr.)

3rd Choice is to go with the draft,  

Jackson has too much baggage.

Jamis Winston would be ok,, only if he came with tranquilizers to keep him from panicking and throwing to the other team.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
