Albright has been wrong before, but this was interesting. I didn’t listen but I wonder if he is implying we are trying to get a trade or just don’t give a poo and telling everyone Bryce is our guy. 

Trying to get Houston to bite and give up some picks and then get AR at #2.

Thats interesting because If the Panthers really do like Stroud then they have no reason not to dangle bait on Bryce to Houston all this time. What do they have to lose by doing it? Richardson just adds to it because he would just be another option only in a trade down. Its just as possible as them being really sold on Bryce instead. Point is, we really dont know nothing till it gets closer to the draft. Its stupid to get hopes up now on a specific thing to happen.

There have been a few GMs that have said they are glad they don't have to make that decision this year. Undoubtedly because they all have some traits you love, but each has some potential weaknesses that may haunt you. 

Bingo - and yet 3/4 of our fanbase is strutting around like trading the farm for #1 overall was a work of genius by Fitterer.

I'm starting to lean more towards AR. While his game may not be there yet and he is young and "raw", his physical gifts and his ceiling are too damn tempting to ignore. He may need to sit a year or partial year and I'm actually ok with that. I know everyone wants to win now, I do too. We have a couple centuries worth of experience in our coaching staff. If this is the Allstar staff we all hope it is, sitting for a season and actually getting adjusted to the NFL game could be very beneficial. We traded up to 1 in a class where the top 3 QBs all have question marks. I want the guy that has the highest ceiling of the group. If we swing and it's a miss, we have our 1st back in 25' to do it again. 

It's a tough call. Safe bet is Young if you want to start the rookie right away. I really do not have the warm and fuzzies for any of them. But we have to take one of them. I just hope they pick the right one.

I don't either. Because of that I'd be shooting for the biggest reward. Any of the 3 could be good or none and it wouldn't surprise me either way.

Naw…they are conditioning the fan base on what to expect.  Young’s the pick

You are probably right, but why not just say it? Also why bring in AR and Stroud for visits? It seems they are fairly confident it’s Young but are still doing some research.

Who knows.  I'm not convinced Person's source knows much.

Because if someone else makes you a ridiculous offer and you're not sold on 1 of the 3 as the best, you can still get a QB and some other pieces and improve the team. Have to at least show some interest in all of them to give yourself the most opportunities if you're not 100%.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they seem really committed to seeing the process through, even if they have leanings or an idea of who the favorite is. It’s smart to me from a logical standpoint but I get how as a fan it could seem annoying with all the reports floating around now.

Gantt has confirmed this...repeatedly.

That's why I shake my head at scenarios that involve the decision already being made.

Yeah that makes sense. I get that it’s probably Young and that’s where they are leaning, but man if it is not a lot of people on here will look silly…

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      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..
