Some additional background details on the trade that make it sound like we actually got the price that would have been expected for a top five team rather than a top ten, but DJ Moore helped make up the difference.

For what it's worth, it doesn't make it sound like three first round picks was ever truly in play.

In addition, Breer corroborates the belief that the Panthers are sold on two guys, but doesn't know for sure who they are. He speculates CJ Stroud and Bryce Young.

Discussing those two, Breer takes the reverse of Adam Schefter's view and suggests that Tepper likes Stroud while "the football people" prefer Bryce Young.

He adds that over the next month they plan to explore whether they can get comfortable with a third quarterback option and that yes, they are open to trade down possibilities.

I think both Stroud and Young are special. Stroud has the higher floor, Young with the higher ceiling. 

If we go with Young we need to hire a health and training staff just for him to make sure his training regimen and body is under control, similar to what Victor Wembenyama is doing (#1 overall NBA pick 2023, best prospect since LeBron)

I don’t believe it’s between Young and Stroud. I don’t think they’d publicly entertain a trade down if it was. They would just talk to Houston, Arizona, and Indy in private.

They traded up because AR and/or Levis was the target and they feared that all four QBs would be gone by 9. #5 wouldn’t be enough to insure their guy, and per Breer #3 cost as much as #1 because Chi wanted DJ. Now we control our own destiny and there’s no way we miss out on a QB.

Everyone’s going to freak if its AR or Levis because “we could have stayed put at 9” but based on how they’re moving I don’t think the folks on staff agree. Missing out on a top QB was their worst case scenario and this was the only way they could insure that wouldn’t happen.

Reality is we probably know exactly who we're taking and all the reports from the trade until draft day are just random guesses/speculation or intentional smokescreens.

LOL I have seen at least 3 different versions of who Tepper likes vs. the "football people". Comical at this point. I would not be surprised if the team isnt making a random version of this to release every few days. 

Yep, I presume they know exactly who they want.  I mean, big picture, that's exactly what Scott said.  If they move to 1, it's because they have the conviction they found their guy.  Being first, we can just f*ck with everyone now.  

Many in the media cannot see the forest for the trees; or well, it's inherent not to and garner more speculation and story.

They’re definitely doing controlled leaks. I just don’t see a point in the trade down smokescreen if we really are down to the top 2 QBs.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
