With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

OK, for all those saying to trade down and not draft a QB? Who is our QB next year? Just waste away another season, right? Nah.

And for those saying take a DE. Who? There isn't even a DE in the top 10 worth taking.

Look, I seriously doubt that we'd trade down from the first pick anyway, but if we do we are in for another season of dread with a sub par retread.  And DE? Ha! if we trade down, DE isn't in the stars.

Drafting a qb in the top 5 and then immediately starting him sounds pretty moronic

If QB truly is the best player available, then yes QB. If not, then go with the best player in the draft. The Panthers have to hit 100% on the first 3 rounds. 100% can't miss players that produced and have the tools to succeed at the next level. No more high risk, high reward picks. They rarely work out here.

The way we are playing Defense who even knows if Evero is retained or if we swap back to a 3-4. Williams, Pearce, and Carter are the only edges people talk about being in the top 10 but none are being mentioned #1 and there is a reason for that. If you want to trade down and take one at 4-6 go for it, but not at 1.

i'm on the BPA train this coming year. Don't really care who it is or what position they play. Most years i don't feel like this...but this year, yeah, absolutely. best player. 

and we'd actually be better off listening to the consensus mocks...which isn't bad right now.

just do BPA all through the draft. just get talent. more and more talent.

Honestly this franchise isn’t in a position to develop a QB properly. Signing a vet and getting the roster up to snuff is the best way to go about it imo. Relying on a rookie QB to come in and single handedly turn the franchise around isn’t practical plus there’s no burrows or daniels in this draft anyway

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
