1. Texans do like Bryce

2. Stroud WAS the favorite when we traded because everyone went right to the QB size Reich has had.

3. Fitterer Is open to trading back.     For the right price.   Just like he says he’s “in on every deal”. On every FA and Trade.  It’s why he’s said in the past he’s always open to taking calls for any player, but doesn’t mean he’s going to trade that guy.

4. Carolina is “rumored” to Bryce.  Bryce was the top prospect at QB in the draft all along,  and was always the favorite to go number 1 until the trade.  They may have been torn on a couple guys but after going around to the pro days and meeting with people.  Players start to separate which it seems and sounds Bryce has.   This isn’t just some bleacher report rumors.  We now have multiple local beat reporters hearing the exact same thing.

5. Texans were  never going to take a QB just to take one.  And there’s been rumors even back before the trade that Stroud wasn’t even the number 2 QB on their board.  They also have multiple 1st next year.

 

so you can go ahead and take the tin foil hat off.

No real argument with any of that.

People are definitely lying their asses off this time of year, but that doesn't mean everything they're saying is a lie.

(unlike Harcourt Fenton Mudd) 😐

The two 2024 1st rounders is a good point. They might like Young this year, but they have the flexibility to be able trade up and pick the best QB next year if they want to.

If Williams looks great again that pick won’t be for sale.

Don’t bother trying to save the sanity of some of these fools, ready to gobble up every rumor and piece of intentional misdirection thrown out there by anyone with a platform. No one knows anything more than they knew two months ago. This same thing happens throughout the year, not just draft season. Lotta people are helplessly gullible.

Except one of the most trustworthy NFL insiders reported live on Nat'l tv Bryce Young is likely the #1 pick of the draft.

 

Sorry you can't accept that, but it's been clear since last year Bryce Young was the best QB prospect in his draft class. You can continue to spread false hope but the top insider already made it clear who the pick will be.

 

Get your #9 jersey and lets start celebrating our new franchise QB.

I’ve come around to Bryce. I really can convince myself to like both Bryce and Stroud lol. 
 

The exhausted view that “if Bryce was 6’3” he’s generational…” which I get…

 

Well you gotta take the guy and hope he doesn’t get crushed. Take a chance. 
 

 

 

…but if the Texans YOLO’d #2 and #12 to swap picks…that makes things complicated.

It's all smokescreen at this point if the deciding minds still haven't decided then how could an insider decide for them...

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
