Dane Brugler’s player rankings is a better source that all the mock drafts. He had most of last class’s QBs ranked outside the the first 64 picks. 

Have you seen his this year?

All of Young, Stroud, Levis and ARich are in his top 14 overall prospects

Daniel Jeremiah is also a good one and pretty spot on

He has 4 in the top 12 overall I believe and only had Pickett in the top 24 last year.

Yeah that tells me these 4 QBs are much better prospects than anyone last year.

Mike Kaye was on the Locked on Panthers podcast talking about just such an issue.  He was saying that even Richardson could be gone by 5.  I laughed.  Like really hard.  Who in their right mind is going to go all in on Rookies QBs in the top 5?  This class??? hahahahaha!

Then you think about the general trends in the NFL.  If you like a guy, you go get them.  Like with what KC and Buffalo did.  Like what the 49ers did with Lance (which who knows if they got that right!).  Not everyone can fail into the #1 pick.  That requires a fair amount of bad luck to be that putrid.  Sometimes you have to make some big moves to get the guy who will push you over the hump.

I'm not opposed to trading up for the guy the staff thinks they can get the right guy to lead the team for the next 10 years of success.  I also don't think everyone is going to be breaking down the doors for these QBs.  As we've seen, each pick is risky AF, and more often than not, it comes down to staff just as much as the player.

I have no idea what's going to happen.  It's going to be an interesting time as we see how the draft landscape changes and what moves the Panthers and other teams make.

FOMO is why last year's class was pretty bad. Like looking back at the mocks vs where they got drafted a lot of "pundits" shoud've been brought down a few pegs or lost their job/credibility. I see this class as being marginally better but not many world beaters. We will see how it plays out but I still like Corral but I do like Stroud marginally better, and that is only because of his percieved cost vs where we draft.

I mean

a lot of the more creditable one like Jeremiah never had those QBs mocked that high last year.

Are you ready for “I'm actually on the 2025 train.  We can't/won't get Maye or Caleb Williams and the next two have HUGE question marks.  Solidify the roster at other positions this year, get the bridge QB and draft the QB of the future next draft.”

Hard up for a 5'8 midget, a dude out of Kentucky whose stats suck and a RSO that can't hit a broad side of a barn, but MAN does he have an arm!  Stroud's okay, but would have been QB 4 in the 2020 draft.

But muh QB, I need muh QB!!!!

Watch next year everyone will be saying none of those QBs will be worth trading up. Also we will have to trade up because unless the wheel really fall off we are not getting another top 10 pick. 

Moving up to the top 10 is not as pricey as moving up to the top 3.

Wait until you hear about trading 3 1sts to move up from 20 into the top 10 next year for the great Bo Nix or Spencer Rattler

The only QB in this draft I would take is with a 1st is Stroud and maybe Young. You see how fragile Tua is and Bryce is smaller, plus the whole height thing. 
 

After Stroud had a good game against Georgia people seem to have forgotten he had one of the highest single read rates in the NCAA from a school that is notorious for QB proofing offenses. 
 

if you are going to go up that high for either of them you are going to sell the farm. This year you have a bunch of teams needing a QB so the price will likely be higher than usual.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
