Official Sound off like you got a pair Panthers Draft predictions thread

[PantherKyle]

Obviously Bryce.

I think CB and EDGE are most likely at 39. Would be happy with a KSU player for sure. I like Julius Brents and Anudike-Uzomah alot.

At 93, all about value. CB, DE, WR, TE, LB all in play. Would prefer to hold off on OL and RB.

Levis will be the no.2 pick.

You have amazing insight. How in the world did you figure that out? LOL

if we do not trade down,  we will pick Young. My preference, which never is the Panthers thankfully since I am a dumbass, would be to trade with houston and then select AR. AR is my favorite just because I think with this coaching staff, he would be the most exciting long term source of entertainment. He can run it and throw it. On day two we try for an edge rusher but I think we end up with a CB. Hopefully both. I always fall in love with some obscure prospect for way late in the draft. This year I fell for charlie jones receiver and antonio mafi the guard.

1. That movie is so dumb but football gods help me I love it.

2. If we draft a linebacker this fourm will be the most entertaining site on the internet for weeks.

Bryce Young will be the pick, he'll show plenty of things in his first couple years that has fans excited over him.

But by the end of his rookie contract people will realize we made a mistake and took a guy who is injury prone and we'll be debating whether it's worth paying $40 million a year for a QB who only can play 10-12 games a season and likely misses playoff games like Lamar due to being injured late in the season.

That's my prediction, don't @ me on it in the next year when he shows flashes of being a good player, come talk to me in 4 years when he can't stay on the field.

Former Cards GM Steve Keim was on Cowherd today and said their analytic team found no correlation between injuries and size. Big QB (a special guy here for example) can get hurt too.

I'm so sick of this argument

As The Athletic's article today points out, since 2000 there have been 368 QB's who have played in the league, only 9 of them have been under 6 feet.  Yes, as I've said it's not about his height, but his frame/weight/bulk, but that number would be even smaller if looking for players of Young's size.

To make any significant revelation based on a sample size like that, it's just flat out ignorant and is only used by teams publicly as a way to help sell it to their fan base.

Nobody arguing against Young due to his size is saying bigger QB's are guaranteed to stay healthier, but it's just common sense to say a 5'10" 190 lbs QB has a higher probability to get injured than someone 6'2" and 215 lbs.  Yes, anyone could get hurt on any given play, but if you put those two sized QB's up for comparison and you had to pick one or the other as to who is more likely to get injured, you'd have to be fooling yourself to say there isn't even a slightly better chance of the smaller player being injured more often than the bigger player there.

No, there are no guarantees, but the people asking for past examples/proof of smaller QB's being more injury prone, and leaning on a sample size of 9 out of 368, is just completely asinine in itself.

Hell, even if all 9 of those guys kept getting hurt and thus helping my argument, I'd still say it's far too small of a sample size to be used in these discussions.

Here is a spin…

We will take Young at 1, and then Houston makes the call and we trade Young for 2/12 and take Stroud and JSN. Then take the best defensive player on the board at a position of need in at 39. BPA after that. 

[Bear Hands]

-We don't draft a receiver until the 4th round 

-Pick 2: It's JuJu Brents (or) DJ Turner with a trade down 

-Tucker Kraft is the TE we land

 

 

 

[Davidson Deac II]

We are going to Shock the world and pick a kicker.  

[Mr. Scot]

A bit of draft history...

Really hope that quote doesn't end up applying to us as well 

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Panthers send shockwaves through the NFL and draft Anthony Richardson to sit behind the Red Rifle for a year

Seriously though when we traded up I thought it was for Bryce Young and I'm sticking with it

[Sloth]

1. Young

2. BPA at CB/DE

3. BPA at CB/DE (depending on 2)

4. BPA IOL/WR/TE
