That should stop anyone that still didn't think it was Young.

And with QB locked up, edge rusher is by far our biggest need going into the draft. I know I've heard Leonard Floyd free agency rumors but not at all surprising to see a heavy emphasis on that position as well.

Yeah, in regard to the latter, you *must* get pressure on the QB to win in the NFL, and if you've only got one guy that can be doubled/schemed out of the game, you're just putting unreasonable pressure on coverage, and the way the game has changed, you're going to be in trouble - winning shootouts in best case scenarios.

[Mr. Scot]

Asked about Tepper, Fitterer reiterated that he plays a "support role" but that he's not making the decision. He's leaving the final choice to Reich and Fitterer.

And amen to that

Don't let Mr. Scot or PanthersGOAT see this. I've never seen such hilarious denial and I don't even care who they pick.

Yeah, sure

I've said already I think it's Young and I'm okay with it, but it's also wise to keep all things in context.

For example, if you listen to the podcast you'll hear the above quote was in response to a direct question about Young. It's not like Fitterer just said that offhand.

Always check the context. Twitter quotes don't necessarily tell you everything.

All the signs keep pointing to Bryce Young being the pick. They have done everything but announce it at this point.

"CEO of the franchise", "it's like talking to a 40 year old man", "Bryce in particular was really strong."

 

Welcome to Carolina Bryce Young!

I think Floyd, Ngakoue, Clowney are fallback options after draft weekend if we aren’t able to draft the EDGE we want in the draft

Just listened. I don’t think Scott mentioned CJ once. As if we need more confirmation, but if CJ was the pick you’d think he’d at least redirect some of those Bryce questions to talk about CJ.

He didn't talk about Richardson either...until he was asked about him.

It's a smart move if you're being cagey to not bring up anyone's name unless you're asked.
