Cam has spoken: He'd draft Young

[Manna]

Whoever it is, this (extremely) experienced coaching staff better be right about him. Aint nobody got 7 years to wait for things to work 1000%.

You're out here like "..cope with this bust.." you're only making yourself look stupid

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.

Another huge check mark for my boy Young…the pick is almost in

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.

Honestly though, Cam speaking out for Young makes me feel better. I really don't think Cam is the type of guy that would just play ball for the Panthers to endorse the guy they were picking.

Tepper should invite Cam to announce the #1 pick at the draft.
