I think they've locked in on Bryce and he will be the pick.

Yeah the massive Bryce info campaign of late only happens for 1 of 2 reasons. Either Panthers last ditch effort to get Texans to move up and get us some more picks while we still get our guy Stroud or it's the team getting fans ready for the pick. I think the trade down is unlikely and we're probably locked in on Bryce at this point. All the other smoke up to this point was random and all over the place but the targeted Bryce campaign feels different and like there is fire behind it.

I would love #2 and #12, but I'd also accept #2 and #33 or #2 and next year's first.

I do it for those other picks if we are legitimately 100% undecided between Stroud/Young. If we like one even slightly better just take him and call it a victory. If we really like Stroud and are convinced Texans are on Young that's another possibility but a very risky one if the Texans fool us and take our guy Stroud instead.

Clausen didn’t not change his number because he liked 2. He didn’t change his number because he didn’t feel like he should roll over for the new guy when he was still conceivably that guy. It was a very common topic of discussion around here for a time. He didn’t have some weird attachment to 2. You can believe that or not but it was what it was and I’m not going to sit here going around and around with you over it. 

Never said he was attached to 2. You did.

His college number 7 wasn’t available. Jason Baker wouldn’t give him the number. Clausen paid that attitude forward to Cam. When Baker was gone, Clausen no longer cared about 2…he switched to 7, told Cam he could have 2, but Cam didn’t change because he embraced 1. 
 

Literally Clausen in #7 his last preseason here.

Unlike Clausen, Corral’s college and high school number isn’t taken by another player. 
 

Does this clarify what I mean?

We aren’t against trading down. We made that clear from the very beginning. The cost to move up to 3 was very similar to move up to 1. We probably like Young, AR, and Stroud which is why we were comfortable at 3. If we stay at 1 is pretty much Young. If a team makes us a dumb offer from 2 or 3 then we would probably take AR/Stroud plus the extra capital. It’s not as crazy as it sounds. We like 3 guys but have a preference. Now we control the draft.

I just feel like if that’s the scenario you’re getting a third at best

There's a conversation to be had at the very least if they offer both thirds though. 👀

#2 + #65 + #73? Would allow us to recoup the #61 that was traded AND get an extra pick to package with #39 to slide back up into the 1st? Get another starter w/ a bonus year option? I could be convinced...

Not crazy at all.

It hinges on the Panthers having conviction for more than one quarterback, something which pretty much all reports say is true.

So if you do the trade, you still get a quarterback you were willing to take at #1, plus you get additional picks.

I really can't see where that's a bad deal.

Do the Texans make an offer? Gun to my head I'd say no, but I'd also point out that weirder things have happened.

So here is the timeline of the past 72ish hours:

Texans are not sold on Stroud and may go Anderson

National guys and local beat reporters start saying its young

Panther guys still say a trade down is available

Young meets with Texans

Person reports we like AR and would be a pick if we trade down

 

thats choppy I admit but if you add that up it kindof does look like we are trying to bait houston to trade

 

Exactly. That's been clear for a while now. Also the fact that Reich loves AR and now AR also does well on the S2 and that impresses Tepper?!

I'm going to go ahead and say it's going to be AR-15. They would like to get some sprinkles on top just for the sake of it but I think, kinda knowing from far away, Teppers mindset the S2 was the last metric he needed to totally approve AR.

ITS ON!

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
