That's my initial thought.  But are there any strategic reasons for keeping it a secret? 

Yeah, but it's highly unlikely to happen. 

Let's say that our highest rated QB is Young, but we think Levis & Stroud are close seconds. We play everything close to the vest & a few days before the draft... well, yesterday happens. A story drops about how we're really gonna pick Levis. 

Houston really wants Levis, big time, so they start offering trades, at some point their GM slips & we are now 99% sure that they want Levis & are scared we're gonna take him.

We respond to their trade offer with something insane like their #2 pick this year, & their 1st & 2nd rounders in '24 and '25. 

They reject that. Then a photo comes out with Reich talking to someone in front of a white board & at the top you can just make out an "L" right before his head obscures the rest of what's there. 

Houston panics, & offers #2, & #12 (iirc) this year, & their 1st & 2nd rounder next year, plus a player at a position we need to shore up. 

We take the deal, they get Levis, & we get a nice haul of picks especially regaining a 1st next year. 

Or they pick Young & yell "Haha! Gotcha!" & we say "Cool" & pick Levis or Stroud, BPA at #12, & go on about our business knowing we easily won that trade.

Now again, this is a pipe dream. If this happens, I can apparently see the future, so the next billion dollar jackpot numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 32.

 

Short version, some team might panic & greatly "over pay" in a trade.

If it's who I think it is (the previously misspelled Bryce Young guy) that's his second ban in like a week or so.

(not counting any other IDs he might have previously been banned under)

It was him and we noticed it right after he joined and started posting. We were just kind of curious before he started trying to meet up and fight someone again. He veered from his usual poo.

Iirc, pre-CBA teams were already starting to negotiate contracts with some players before the draft.

Yep, I seem to remember Sam Bradford having that huge contract in place before he was even drafted. 

The weird thing is the NFL wants suspense and ratings leading to the first pick...which is often the least suspenseful. The gamesmanship starts at pick 2.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
