Natalie Miller (aka Verge): per her sources, Panthers moved up to #1 to take Bryce Young

Well why not wait til her General Draft 3.0 since 1.0 had us taking a CB that didn't test well at the combine. Sorry, but if we moved up to 1 to take a tiny college qb who won't be in the league more than 5 or so years due to injuries, we deserve to fail. My only hope is we want Houston to make a trade. Stroud is the only QB in this draft you make a move for. Not Baker Mayfield 2.0.

Not gonna lie I been on the Stroud bandwagon all offseason but I must admit im starting like Bryce as the pick.

 

I been on record Bryce is the best QB in this draft. The size is the only thing that concerned me. Im just getting this weird vibe that Bryce is going to be special and have this Steph Curry like impact on the NFL level. Put him in shotgun behind this Oline and let him work.

 

As much as I love Stroud I don't think he has a higher ceiling than Bryce. Bryce has that "it factor" despite his size.

I’m exactly in this camp

Stroud's pro day is this Wednesday, he's gonna look great, afterwards the media will be mock CJ to Panthers at #1

Bryce Young's pro day is this Thursday, he's gonna look great, afterwards the media will be mock Bryce to Panthers at #1

Young is not throwing this week. He is throwing at Alabama's 2nd pro day in April. Some have speculated that he is still recovering from an injury, but not sure that is legit. Perhaps he just wants to make sure he has the last impression.

The team won't even tell our new number 1 WR who we're drafting, but I'm sure this girl who cares more about fake social justice than football knows the truth.

In other words; Nobody knows, Stroud, Young, Ect...Only three people know for sure, that being Tepper, Fitt and Reich.

The dude bros are triggered

And this is what is concerning me.

    • 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.
