2024 QB Class

I think Young can still be the QB we want him to be and am not implying that we draft a QB in 2024. 

HOWEVER, the other day I saw a list of QBs for the 2024 draft.  Surprisingly, there were a lot of interesting prospects.  We know the Williams, Maye, Penix and Nix will be long gone by pick 33.    Would you consider taking one of these other QBs with the 1st pick in the 2nd round?  Or would you just to prefer to ride Young until the 2025 draft class.  2024 is probably a wash for us anyhow. We'll most likely have a top 5 pick in 2025 which could be used for just about any other position besides QB that we are in need of.

It's a topic for discussion not necessarily my opinion.

One that intrigues me is Deion's boy.  Given time he can really make some plays.  Sadly, his offensive line is worse than ours.

Our problem here is that our GM didn't follow his own advice when he arrived.  One of the things he said when he arrived is that you should ALWAYS be drafting a QB - every year.  He's not saying at the top of the draft, but just as a general rule you should be spending a pick trying to find a guy.  Doesn't matter if you have one already, if you uncover one you literally cannot lose.

Look no further than the last draft.  The Eagles, Chargers, Browns, Rams, Cardinals . . . . all drafted QB's despite having a franchise guy on the roster already.  That's good roster building.  

Unfortunately for us, Fitts said all those things and hasn't done it, except when pressured to fill a need.

I’ve been following a lot of the guys in this next class bc some were on the fence last year about declaring. Been a fan of a handful—Penix, Jayden Daniels, Cameron Ward, and Michael Pratt to name a few. Will be interesting to see where they end up, but I doubt we land one.

Although maybe a 4th-5th type project that could be a backup. That could be a Pratt/Ward type.

    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
