However, multiple sources with Carolina say they love Robinson and that if the team somehow don't take a quarterback in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Robinson would be a top target for the franchise.

Yeah walterfootball sucks I know, but there is no one else that consistently gets the Panthers picks right than Charlie Campbell from WalterFootball. (Brian Burns, Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, and Ikem Ikwonu has been his last 4 selections for the panthers in his final mock drafts of the past 4 years for reference) He is pretty plugged in with the Carolina staff. I would read heavily into this as meaning that if 4 QB's go early and we can't afford to move up there then don't be surprised if this is our target.

Our big board if I had to guess is Young, Stroud, Richardson >>>>> Levis, Bijan Robinson

But it also isn't his final mock.

[LinvilleGorge]

Please no more 1st round RBs.

I hate it too but his sources are pretty legit when it comes to Carolina.

He isn't mocking Bijan to us, just kinda revealing a little about our big board. If we get Carr then there is a much higher risk of this happening. A lot of teams consider Bijan the best player in the draft, full stop, but I can def see Carolina talking themselves into #1 player at pick 9 being great value.

Haven't seen him mocked to us but I've seen him mocked in the top ten more than once.

Lol right?  Let's trade CMC and try it again!

Yeah, he says Tepper might veto it because Tepper feels like RB is a waste of cap as well.

Not at our current pick, maybe if we somehow traded down and got him.

I wouldn't be livid about it in a trade down scenario but it depends on what we do at QB. Either way there is and will always be value picks for this position in the mid rounds.

[LinvilleGorge]

If Fitterer tries to draft a RB in the top 10 after trading away CMC he should be fired on the spot. Dan Morgan, your pick.

it's true Walter football does have some connections with scouts, but they are generally regarded as one of the worst websites for football, and for a reason.  I don't think even the more respected sites have any true sources inside our team, we're too far out of the national spotlight.

Sure, we may love the guy, 32 teams probably love the guy, but it doesnt mean we or any other team drafts him over the other 40 guy we like.  It's just that time of year.

I'll turn in my fan card if they do this.

I love Bijan and think he’s special. I don’t think anyone will mock a team for taking him in the 5-10 range. Bijan behind this OL would be scary…

With that all said, I wouldn’t be happy about it. 

Would rather go JSN, one of the OL’men or even Kincaid tbh. With Staley and Thomas on this staff they better be able to find a late round gem at RB especially given our OL

Also, something is going to have to go HORRIBLY wrong for our 1st rounders not to be spent on a QB
