Irrespective of our current draft position, or whether it's realistic to move up to #3 or #1,  who should be the first QB on the Panthers draft board after the Combine?

For me, it's still CJ Stroud!

As impressive as Anthony Richardson was as a physical athletic specimen, and he does have a strong arm.  I think CJ Stroud was easily the most impressive of any QBs. He showed a lively arm, with tight spirals, quick release and accuracy.  His deep ball was on point too.  

What say you?

I'd take a flier on Hooker and stay at #9. I totally think that if Hendon didn't tear his ACL, he'd be right there in the conversation with the other four QBs. To clarify, that is take Hooker with one of the 2nd round picks, not at #9.

You think he should be #1 on the board even if others are hypothetically available at #9?

Depends who is remaining.  Over Richardson, possibly, because he's so underdeveloped.  No, I would not take Hooker at #9 even if they have him higher than AR. At #40, sure.  He will not be ready until late camp despite hoping to be ready by camp open. When I say ready, meaning no restrictions.  I doubt a medical team will fully clear him in the next four months.

The same as before the draft, Young. He's the most skilled/complete QB in the draft despite the size concerns.

He's a baller for sure.  Size is the only thing that gives me pause due to higher potential of injury

His size should give people pause for the same reason that in college you can be more athletically gifted than 99% of your peers, but the NFL is the cream of the crop so college fast doesn’t = NFL fast. College defenses, even at their best, will rarely have more than 2 1-3rd round prospects, in the NFL those defenses are full of athletic guys that play faster, hit harder and process info better. Young will inevitably take a couple shots to his sub 200 lbs body, the question is can he absorb playing the Georgia defense 17 weeks a season or is his body only ready to take hits from Vanderbilt ladyboys?

It's not my top move, and I doubt really happens but it's a different scenario to consider.  Smith-Njigba is definitely trending towards a top-10 pick and would be a pretty dope tandem with DJ Moore.  Only issue is how we attack the vet route.  I just can't do Darnold again (and doubt the new staff would) if Hooker is this late 1st/early R2 pick a la Lamar, Hurts, Derek, etc.

 

That being said, I'm heavily favoring a Stroud, then Young, then Richardson.

      Director of College scouting should be next. I'd like to see the organization go after Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy who's a good friend of Dan Morgan back in their time in Seattle

      Off season talk.

      I always just go back to what I said at the time. Trade Burns to the Rams because it's a fantastic deal. I was screaming it. I'm still angry at Fitt over that. Right after he turned down the deal I said he needed to get into a time machine and go back and make the deal. Hate that dude. Ruined our team. Trading D.J was a major mistake because what matters most in the NFL is the passing game, so you never unload a proven #1 WR when there are other options. Always trade a defensive player over a WR if you have that option available. Fitt was precious about defensive players when we had a passing offense that didn't function. That's how know he was completely incompetent. The passing offense is the top priority, so until that is functioning all defensive players are possible trade fodder. At this point we're in a rebuilding year under a new GM and a QB who looks absolutely horrendous. It makes perfect sense, if you follow all of our moves, that we would be the worst team in the NFL. Of course we are. You can't screw up as a GM that many times over the years and not ruin the franchise. We're exactly where we should be, dead last, or bottom 3. Whichever you like. But this is the here and now. Dan did a good job getting our 2nd round pick back, and we won't know about the picks until they take the field in regular season games. We're in dark until then, but if they suck the Panthers media will hide it shamelessly. Remember when Young was supposed to be a football genius? Yeah he was rancid turds out there when live fire started. There is some hope. Either Young improves and we win more games, or he stays about the same and we draft a new QB in 2025. Either way the NFL will help us out of this jam, but all we need is for Dan not to screw it up.
