So basically we have no idea who will be drafted

I'm beginning to think this is all just a smokescreen and Anthony Richardson is the guy.

It's Levis. The very first rumors were that Tepper loved Levis. Then those rumors went away as the coaches were hired. There really hasn't been a peep about Levis and the Panthers in weeks. He's the pick.

i think a lot of people in here, obviously, think they know who we're getting, but they don't really know. because i think the team doesn't 100% know yet. it's all speculation. 

of course that won't stop them from coming in here and crowing if they just happen to be right and i guarantee that they will hang on to it for years..."you should listen to me because i was "right" that one time." except getting it right means guessing correctly. it always does in the NFL.

Pretty much

For me, I'll admit I don't know. Like just about everyone else, I believe it's probably between Stroud and Young. My pick would be Stroud, but I could live with Young as long as he's well protected.

Reich talked about smaller guys who knew how to avoid the big hits and said he's seen Young do some of those same things. That'd be a good thing to know.

It would be awesome to have Richardson if for no other reason than the AR-15 nickname.

Powerful but inaccurate... the nickname fits!

I mean physically he's got everything so I could find a silver lining there but I don't want to watch a Darnold rerun.

Me either, but it's the most Panthers thing that could happen.

Well if it's between stroud and young, I expect young.

i think they are definitely leaning one way, as in i think that Reich and the coaching staff are pretty much leaning a certain way and Fitt and the scout staff are also leaning a certain way, and the Teppers are also leaning a certain way, but they may not be sharing their thoughts with the others. 

i do feel like after the combine, though, they all had an idea that they wanted someone and the consensus was that whoever it was, the best way to make sure they got their guy was by making this big trade. it wasn't the only way, but it was the only sure way to get him...whoever it is. 

i really don't think any will be surprised when they get together and discuss it the week before the draft (if that's really what's going on) about who the other groups are backing.

i really feel like they saw something together at the combine, though, that said "this is the guy we want to build the franchise around".

Fitt, scouts, ownership are gonna go with who Reich wants when it comes down to it. All Reich really has to do is sell them the vision. You don't hire a coach who just happens to have played QB in league, worked with QBs extensively as a coach, and has had success most of all just to overule him on the most important position that he knows the best. A big reason why Reich here is to help find a franchise QB.

vegas -300 stroud

Vegas also had Evan Neal #1 last year. Vegas can be close but never a sure thing.

I’ve gone back and forth… watching Stroud all year thinking we might have a chance at him, I didn’t like how he struggled under pressure. When he gets in a rhythm he really shines though. Then the UGA game happened and I’ve been all in on Stroud since. But lately, I’m starting to hope it’s Bryce, he just seems like he’s “that guy” on and off the field and could be a true game-changer for the franchise similar to Cam when he stepped foot in Charlotte. Not saying that I don’t think both will be successful in the NFL, but if we pass on Bryce I could see us regretting it down the road as he turns around the Texans and becomes a face of the league.
