Them some good drugs you on.

I trust the draft insiders, who say that no team in the top 10 likes Richardson, and that Detroit, Seattle, and Atlanta want to wait a year before thinking QB and want to take the defensive help this draft offers.

The Titans want a QB, the Colts love Levis, and the Texans are not a fan of anyone but Young, but it's possible they could take Levis 2 and Stroud would then go 4, and the Titans would then pass on QB this year.

Remember, no one would have believed that Malik would fall out of the top 60 last year, or Howell/Corral/Ridder that late in the draft either. Richardson is viewed as a pure athlete that needs years of seasoning, kind of like how Malik was the same thing a year earlier (Richardson is a better prospect of course though)

I can see Richardson falling, it's the Stroud falling to 9-11 that has me puzzled.

He's an enigma right now. I think most likely him, but there's just this nasty seed of doubt that has popped in that is making people tap the brakes.

Teams are thinking, "I think he'll do good, but do I really want to bank my job on this guy or do I want to go a safer route with another position?"

If the draft were a week earlier or even a week later it could be a different deal, but the current narrative just doesn't work in his favor.

There's like 2 posters here that I feel will legitimately be angry about BY as the pick. On the other side I get the vibe that if there is a remote possibility we pick Stroud or Richardson some folks here who have fallen so madly in love may dive out of a window.

I don't know that anyone on the Huddle has fallen madly in love with Young. At least I haven't seen it. What I can say is that there are those, myself included, who believe that he has the best tape, unique talent, and the most natural feel for what he needs to do situationally to have success on the field at any given moment during a game.   We all know what his presumed shortcoming is. Some have decided that makes him untouchable, while others say that when weighed against everything else, the risk is with the reward.

At this point it would take the 12th pick + to consider trading the 1 to the Texans

Yeah, just throwing out a wild scenario that catches us all off guard, but I think it will be Young going 1st to Panthers.

Occam’s rayzor 

my only regret is not actually putting big money on Bryce when the odds were elsewhere. 

sometimes the best player in college does in fact turn into the best player in the nfl 

Jalen Carter and Will Anderson?

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
