Personally I think his floor is us at 9, Seattle just resigned Geno so the urgency to take a QB might not be there. But if Richardson dropped to 9 there’s no damn way he’s getting past us.

Seattle has no incentive to take a qb this year and tie up on that cap space with two qbs.  I think it's more likely that they give Geno a year at the helm and if the team nose dives they take a qb next year.  Seattle needs help on defense and they will be in position to take maybe the best defensive player in the draft.

I have to say, it is only necessary to move up to the 1st overall if a generational can't miss barely any downside guy is there. A clear consensus. I don't see that guy in this draft. I don't think Chicago sees that guy, or the pick would not be for sale.

Nearly all my negativity towards trading up stems from this: you probably don't have to go too far back to find a draft where the 4th rated, 5th rated, or lower, turned out to be the best QB pick. 

For me, the 9th pick is an acceptable risk for where the roster is and could be with 2 seconds this year and 1sts every year. 

If he isn't there, get your next highest rated QB wherever you have to. Higher, lower, however it falls, you are taking your next best rated QB.

 Plan on doing that the next year too. Until you have something special. It will come. If these coaches are as advertised they will get production out of an average QB, and average is the floor.

Short answer is of course, you take the shot.

But, if we're taking a QB, I just don't see us picking one at 9.  We will be getting one because we strike a deal for a trade.  I just don't see us being complacent waiting for who may/may not fall, and then we're SOL.

Now, if we simply can't work out a deal, there's a shot 1 of the 4 is there, but highly unlikely.  We could basically stay and take BPA, then we're looking at the Hooker scenario in R2; which isn't the end of the world, but would be disappointing.  

I still foresee a trade up at the least to 6 to leap LVR and ATL.

The trust will last as long as there's a chance they draft a qb that some fans are drooling over. As soon as they draft a qb that some here do not want then it will be this staff are idiots and do not know a damn thing about qb's.  Mark it down.

OR,,  lol,,  they don't trade up , giving 3 years worth of draft picks lol ,  and the Jets do,, or Tenn,  etc..  Some here will have a melt down. 

I read somewhere there's like a 20-25% chance of hitting a franchise QB pick in the early draft. 

So either way ,,   we pick QB  x..   the 70%  who wanted QB   y or  z  they will be slamming the pick and every time QB  Y  or  Z  does anything over the next two years , will post it.   Or if we don't trade up and say the Jets or the Falcons, or Tenn or some other team does,, it doesn't matter what they gave up,, half the fans will be posting non stop...  

It happens

If they just start winning games everyone will get on board.  Rookie QB or not.

Only if you'd be willing to also take him at #1 overall.

QB is the centerpiece of your organization, and if you're drafting one in the first round, you better also have been willing to take him at the very top. If he's not worthy of that, then you're wasting a pick just to get a QB. You can't settle for also-rans at the position just to have a body on the roster. If you believe he can be your answer at the position, you take him, but that means he's also worthy of being drafted at number 1 due to the importance of the position.

Richardson will be there at 9. Levis probably will be too.

We won't be though. I really think this staff moves up to 1/3 to take Young/Stroud

FA and pro days still have to play out and we still have a couple QBs still playing musical chairs for new teams.

last mock i saw had all 4 gone by pick 7, and it was by an expert so it has to be right

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
