Have the Panthers played this well?

To answer the question though, I love how we've played this. We have put ourselves in a position to get a franchise QB at the worst. The rest is just smoke and mirrors depending upon what/who we can live with. I mean, if you pick up a franchise QB AND a extra pick, how can you get mad about that?

That's what I think, although I would imagine that if we are sure that we can get something for nothing and still get our guy that we might do it. 

It would take at least 3 teams to want the same player, along with carolina would have to trust each team involved as well.

There is point where the offer trumps your board too....

I go back the bears trading form 3rd to 2nd. 49ers got them to believe another team had a real fair offer to trade up for Mitch trubisky. 49ers had zero interest in a QB by many reports and bears figured Mitch was their "guy". So they sent 3rds and 5ths in order to draft Mitchy....

Between raiders, colts, zona, texans, and even with pass ties to seahawks. Each of those teams is have plenty to turn this draft into one giant mind fug.

Don't know if it happens, but if it does I could see it happening on Draft Day rather than before.

If Stroud is the next Herbert no one will think we lost this trade in a year.  Let’s just hope he is.  That’s who I want. If it’s Young I hope he can be like Murray without the maturity issues. Hoping for the best and supporting either of those two at this point.

If we land Downs in the second to pair with stroud that we won the draft with 2 picks.  Everything else is gravy. 

Love Downs but I honestly think I'd rather have one of the top TE prospects at #39. I'm just concerned about his durability at the NFL level. He did t miss many games at UNC but it seemed like he was always dealing with some type of lingering limiting injury.

I'd be upset if they traded down beyond 2. I don't think the Texans feel the need to trade up and would be happy with either QB.

Only other team that makes sense is the Colts. Even if they offer a first rounder it's not worth it imo. You go from picking the #1 QB to potentially the #4 QB and you look like an absolute dumb fug if any of those QBs picked ahead of you ball and yours fails.

Has any team in NFL history traded up to #1 just to trade out of it? If it has happened it wasn't recently.

I think it’s all just smoke and mirrors in the offchance we can hustle the Texans into thinking that not only are we good with either of the top two guys but also might take the guy they want. Don’t see it happening but crazier poo has happened.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
