This chance and the trade to make it happen may not come around again. They have had plenty of time to do research and figure out all options.

'Maybe and/or take a shot' doesn't work with this pick. Make the safest pick possible and leave all the development BS to a later pick for another team.

This is their one shot to become relevant again and stay relevant for seasons to come.......don't fug it up boys.

Every draft pick is a roll of the dice. The idea of a "can't miss prospect" is a total myth. There's always going to be some significant uncertainty when you're projecting a guy to the next level of competition.

A lot of 5 star recruits fail to pan out in college. A lot of NBA lottery picks bust. A lot of NFL 1st round picks bust. It's just the way it is. There are no sure things.

Not so sure about that. The Hornets are as close to a certainty to screw up a 1st round pick as I have ever seen.

Very true but if we fail with Young or CJ that will be far more forgivable than AR or Revis. Painful none the less but forgivable because they (Young and CJ) are for the most part consensus 1a and 1b QBs.

You don't trade away 2 first round picks, 2 second round picks and your WR1 to make a 'safe' pick.

Yeah, I think that's what Matt Rhule went with when he denied the trade up for Herbert and then again with taking Horn over Fields. Play it safe guys. The Josh Rosen's of the draft always need a front office ready to play it safe.

Trading what they did is not playing anything 'safe'. That was the throwing of the dice.

 You are trading to be sure you don't take 3rd choice in a two horse race. 

Doubling down on that for a long shot is bad strategy.  If your life depends on it, that is when you try that. It doesn't.

      Is Canales really a “QB whisperer” or is Bryce just not that guy. I’m giving him a little bit of a break due to injuries around him and some questionable play designs. I don’t know, maybe this team is just cursed and we will never replace Cam. We still haven’t replaced Gross, Kalil, Smitty, Luke…

      This was the risk with spending what $150 million in free agency on two OL? We should have been focused on the draft. Now whether the OL is terrible bad or mid we still have the highest amount of salary cap dedicated to the position group by far. And it's only going to go up when we sign Icky to an extension. Instead of trading up for injured running backs maybe we should have been drafting OL.

      The Panthers are a bad football franchise. We have young receivers who are imperfect. We have had injuries along the OL. But Bryce Young is a downgrade from every single QB that has started for this team since Cam Newton's throwing arm died back in late 2018. And we have invested an absurd amount of resources in order to improve this offense. Multiple things can be true at one time.
