Adam Schefter: Bryce Young is believed to be favorite for #1 for the Panthers right now

Going to have to maintain a top tier line for Stroud too. He's used to playing behind an elite line, not a slightly above average line. Heck, same goes for any rookie QB. Doing what the Panthers did to Newton's line should be a firing offense.

Yes, but with the Saints, they spent a huge percentage of their cap on their Center and Guards--more that the tackles if memory serves me.  Remember when they had Evans and Warford and Ramcyk and some all pro center?  This article demonstrates the problem with Brees when things up front went bad:

I started out big time wanting Stroud, but the more I've watched and seen what Bryce is, the more I'm convinced he is the potential HoF of this class. That said I won't be mad with Stroud, but I'm firmly on the Bryce train now.

HOF...really?

The headline "Young now the favorite" is simply not what Ian said, and it is not factually accurate.

Thanks for bringing in the honest fact and not continuing this ruse. 

 

I do believe their mind hasnt fully made, but they traded up to #1 and the only way that happened if they viewed one player *clearly above all right now*. My tea leaves are saying its Stroud. I get knowing the #1 waay before the draft does hurt the rating or whatever story lines and the tiny chance houston trades for the #1......No longer care, plenty of other drafts had a clear #1 non-drama pick, cry more NFL...

Just cutting alllllll this silliness out- Its Coleridge Bernard "C. J." Stroud IV, sorry NFL for ruining the start of your draft...

If we did all of this to trade up and we end up drafting Bryce Young, I may hang myself.

We can help.  I will start a thread titled, "Talking Proudiddy off the ledge" because I am that kind of guy.  There will be a poll (nothing complex, just "jump!" or "don't jump").  Here for you.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
