I'm honestly not big on Penix as an NFL prospect. I'm intrigued by McCarthy st Michigan.

Williams, Maye, Daniels and Penix Jr. will be gone in round one.  If someone has the balls, Nix and/or McCarthy should be sitting there at #33, but Tepper needs to be told 'step back' by someone, 'we are taking another QB.'

If we ship off Burns, possibly the first rounder could be this year.  If so, WR in round 1 and Nix/McCarthy at #33.

We are likely stuck with Brycey through 2024....

 

That said I'd move Ickey to LG Christensen to RG sign a stopgap left tackle *throw the brinks truck at Tyron Smith" 

Sign Pittman from Indy and possibly  Jeudy draft a WR at #33 whose a big play threat *strong class*

 

Draft depth/developmental OLine x3  go after Williams/ Wilkins to beef up the defensive line.... 

 

And finally.....

Pray to whoever your diety you worship!

Tough because have to make a lot of assumptions but I'll make the following:

-Burns can be traded for a 1st and 3rd

-Brown gets paid and stays

-Horn stays healthy

-We fire Fitt and hire the right GM and HC

-New offensive identity plays to our OL strength

-Bryce works on his footwork offseason and isn't "David Carr'd" 

-Evero stays

If those happen, I don't think we are that far off.. It's the NFL teams flip in 2 years all the time and everyone has multiple JAGs starting somewhere on the field. 

If we get a 1st from Burns I go best WR/G with our first 2 picks assuming they are there. If not go BPA or trade down and get another 3rd. Resign Luvu, overpay for another WR like a Higgins, and go get a FA DE and draft another end with the 3rd from Burns trade. We're stuck with Sanders one more year, but RB are so devalued I wouldn't hate grabbing another one in the 4th/5th if the value is there. Trading draft capital for players is off limits for 2024 and prob 2025.

No need to do anything about QB next year. We need to build for the long haul.

Next year gonna be a big bag of suck as well.

Keep Brown and Luvu if at all possible. Lean on our defense and run game.

Through the draft and free agency, focus on WR and OLine. Don’t trade away any draft capital.

If Bryce sucks again next year, draft a QB or sign one in free agency— after next season. We need to build the core best we can, so when we are ready to grab that QB in the first round, he has something to work with.

I don't think there is much value left on this team, so it's probably good that I'm not in charge. I would fire sale everything I could, since it is all wrong. Just a word of caution though, as there are a few scenarios mentioned where we would bulk out the team with udfa players. This is what Atlanta did the year they played with $50+ million in dead money, lead the league in udfas, and their results have not been great at all.

Step 1) hire the most competent football mind money can buy and make him president of football operations

Step 2) give him the blank checkbook

Step 3) give him control

Step 4) go on vacation

 

yeah basically

more specifically, assuming he goes the team president route and brings in a coach/GM combo with a long term vision..

1. Just draft best player available. There's too many holes all over the team. Trade downs for more/future picks need to be priorities. If it were me, that 33rd pick would be flipped for a 2025 1st. There is no difference for this team between drafting 33rd and 58th. Just get a good player. 

2. Free agency needs to be spent on low risk high reward players. Maybe people that didn't live up to draft position or need a change of scenery. 

3. Lock up Brown, Luvu long term. Franchise Burns and hope you can get him back on program. The two first round picks trade is gone forever and we need to accept that. The way he's played this year, he's absolutely not worth a first round pick. Also please resign Chinn. I just cannot believe there's nothing there to be salvaged after his rookie season. 

4. Focus on the lines. Boring but true. 

5. You have to bring in "competition" for Bryce. And by competition I mean a starter, because Bryce can't play in this league. Let him sit on the bench, mollify the owner and the part of the fan base that thinks everything is someone else's fault, and just go out and play boring old football. 

This team needs a 2002. They need someone to come in, right the ship, and hopefully put them in position to compete in 2025. They DESPERATELY need a good draft and an infusion of young talent. They don't need all pros or whatever; they just need people that can contribute at the NFL lvl.

Must have a coaching staff that can coach, manage and lead, an OC that can call plays and identify our strengths weaknesses and our opponents. 

1st: Offensive Line, particularly LT

2nd: Defensive Line, particularly a Hog Molley beside Brown to stop the run up the middle

3rd: Speed at WR to prevent defence from crowding the line

4th: Two good CB's, although I really like Hill

    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
    • Definitely in the running. I’d probably go Oakland. Lost football, seriously crappy baseball team. They have Golden State Warriors I guess.
