It doesn't matter nearly as much as fans think it does. People are drooling over Nolan Smith right now and he had 12.5 sacks in his entire college career and never had over 4.5 in a single season. It's not what you've done, it's what they think you'll do in the future.

You're more than welcome to feel that way, but the truth of the matter is that college production does matter when scouting a prospect. Traits are what are emphasized, absolutely, but they also need to see how those traits have been utilized.

It's why scouts had no issue realizing Herbert's arm strength despte the system he was in. Production is  also why Jalen Hurts got selected in the 2nd round instead of falling to the 3rd or 4th.

Lastly.

You have to think.

Many have said well we should wait until 2024 for a QB.  That class would be better.

Anthony would’ve been QB3 with potential to fight his way into that top 2 in 2024 had he went back to school.


As Fitty said “I don’t won’t to draft in the top 10 again.  It will cost a lot more to move from 22.”

So take him where we are now?

or wait until 24 and trade More to move up for a lesser player?

Note to Huddle:  This thread is going well.  People making informed, differing points without acting omniscient, condescending, belligerent.   Then I look at the names, and I see why--quality experienced posters who respect others' opinions.  Like a wisp (yes, wisp) of cool air on an otherwise humid, unbearable day.

Stroud is much more consistent obviously, but if we are picking one game let’s compare Stroud/UGA to AR/Utah. People keep forgetting about how AR crushed a solid Utah team when they let him loose. 

No argument here. Personally, I'm not a fan of the "if he can do it, he can do it" mentality simply because I acknowledge that there are exceptions to the rules now and then.

We'll be a better team with either of them though. It's one of the reasons why I haven't been nearly as obsessed with the prospects this upcoming draft: the team is in a good position to make a move or stay put and still get a quality player that will improve the roster.

NFL Network claims that the Panthers (and Atlanta, and another team) are in talks with the Bears to move up to #1--Said it would take a lot for Carolina to move up.

I know we have twice spoken with Herndon--maybe to eliminate him as an option, maybe to consider him a viable "plan B" maybe they like him as much as anyone else.  Dunno.  I think he is plan B, personally.

Its misinformation season so it's hard to get a feel for where they will go with this thing. To pull off what Fitterer has said they want to do it appears to me they need more 1st and 2nd round picks.  He's repeatedly said they wants playmakers at QB, TE and WR at least.  So to me that would getting at least two of those 2 in the first and getting lucky with a 2nd round pick.  Someone explain to me how they do that if they trade up and only end up with 1 1st and if their lucky 1 2nd round pick?

As with a lot of Bama QBs, we see 1 dimension of them in college--the better WRs, better OL, the better defenses--playing from ahead---(same with Ohio St)---we don't see the QB with lesser WRs, a bad OL, and a defense that limits opportunities and makes you play catch up.

Probably worth noting that almost 10% of the NFL’s current starting QBs were starting QBs at Alabama.

They don't care about production. They care about traits, coachability, and how they project a prospect to the NFL.

Luke Van Ness is probably going to be a 1st round pick despite not even being a starter for a middle of the pack Big Ten team.

Most of the people who generally derail threads are probably still sleeping off their plastic bottle liquor binge drinking from last night.

They'll be up meme typing and poo posting soon enough.

I pray they stay put.As you say, we need 3 players.  I think we go QB, DB, TE and OL depth in the draft.  Not sure about WR--I think we are going to need a Defensive player or two as well--so we shall see.

It appears to me we have more needs than our current amount of draft picks can provide. Unless they nail every single one of any they have left after trading up.

If they really are keying in on Richardson, it is because they think they can fix his accuracy issues AND because they don’t think they have a shot at the other guys.

I said a few days ago in another thread, that I think they are looking at a scenario of Carr/Darnold + Richardson/Hooker.

That feels somewhat realistic to me.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
