If we dropped to 2

I wonder what it would take for the Panthers to drop to 2.

I can’t imagine Houston parts with that 12th pick to move up one spot but I also can’t imagine Carolina passing up on the guy they traded up to take for anything less

LOL Did you switch back?

I am just having fun with this--No--that was just illustrating the issue I have with both--OSU's NFL QB struggles--(not giving them credit for Burrow--that is what happens when you escape)  and Bryce's size.  You have to decide which risk you are most comfortable with, then do nothing because it is not up to you. 

I think, however, that they do not know--and they are keeping an open mind.

I am just going to support the QB we take.  I see why they would select either.  Bryce is the best qb right now, but Stroud is not far behind and may end up being better.  So we shall see--I like both of them a lot,

The Panthers could also be hoping that they can't reach a clear decision.  If Houston has a preference, the Panthers could offer the #1 pick for their second rounder (pick 32, I think).  If I did not have a preference--I would take the first pick of the second round-here is why:

After day 1, teams have a chance to regroup and make offers to move up in the second round. We could trade that pick for a few day 2 picks.  It would be nice to walk away with a CB, Edge, WR, and maybe a TE.

If that happens they would use 32 and 39 to move back into the first and get Stroud his WR.

I feel like that is just being scared to make a decision. You take your guy unless you get very very good compensation for getting to decide. Not sure I would trade for just pick 32.

I just can’t get over how short and small, weight-wise, he is. 
I just think about him being under 200 lbs and 5’ 10”. 
All it takes is one bad play and a 300 lbs player landing on him the wrong way and bam, game over. 
Injuries are the main reason I will be wary if we draft him. But I hope he proves me wrong.

There is so much talk about Young being more prone to injury because of his size. But I think it's foolish to hold that against drafting him. Injuries are a part of the game and he will get injured guaranteed. The devastating injuries are concussions and ACL tears, your size has nothing to do with those type of injuries. Cam was a physical specimen at the QB position and his longevity is shorter than Drew Brees. I think Young's size concerns are a bit overblown, if you can play you can play. Young will be our Muggsy Bogues in the NFL!

I agree. It's the only reason why I want us to draft CJ over him. Bryce is the better QB right now but I have serious concerns about his ability to stay on the field longterm in the NFL. That's not to question his toughness either. It's just every week there will be someone bigger and better than Jalen Carter trying to murder you

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Hypothetical question draft content*

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
