I know it's not gonna happen but I really wish we'd just come out and say who we're picking so that I could start convincing myself that guy is gonna be great and all these other guys are gonna bust. 😂

I do wonder if they will announce before the draft?  It’s not like we need to put up a smokescreen

I wouldn't be surprised if the league has added some rules to stop teams from announcing the 1st draft pick before the draft. 

The mystery makes for a better tv program and gives the anchors something to talk about for 20 minutes.

Do you think Stroud is just afraid to take the hit? He plays so well, but when then you'll see him within the pocket with the littlest bit of pressure and he'll sail the pass. There's this play and another one a bit later that almost is intercepted.

I was going to make that same comment a few days ago. Sometimes it looks like he’s legitimately afraid of contact

I think it's easier to get someone to feel more comfortable with pressure and taking hits than it is to get someone to avoid contact.

Guys like Cam were impossible to get that thru their heads because they're just not wired that way, no matter how often you beat it into them, when push comes to shove, they're going to deliver or take the hit, like Josh Allen has a tendency to do.

If Stroud was blatantly afraid of contact it would be one thing, but a few instances here or there, that's not as much of a concern, especially as he grows older and gets more comfortable in the NFL.

I would love to say that. Though so often Stroud can get the first down with his legs, but doesn't. Or that he could make a throw, but hesitates, or sails the pass. I wish there were more games like the Peach Bowl. I wish there were more times on film that I actually see him take the hit and deliver.

No. The NFL wants to keep as much intrigue as possible. It very well may leak from credible sources (and those sources will he trashed by the factions that don't want that guy or really want someone else) but there will definitely be no announcement.

Just giving him his due.  He could have skipped the combine..*cough* like Young but didn’t.  He did all the drills and work while a very healthy Bryce Young stood around watching.  

I think Young was just following the Kylar Murray script of pigging out for 3 days to weigh in, and then not doing any combine drills because he was in no condition to do that.  They're about the same height.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
