Three possible scenarios and what I would do in each

OK guys here are three draft day scenarios that I've come up with and what I would do in each...

1. If Luck declares and we have #1 pick:

- Go the Stanford route, draft Luck and hire Harbaugh as head coach. This is my ideal scenario. Luck and Harbaugh obviously have a great relationship and have been succesful together if we could bring that here that would be great :D

2. If Luck doesn't declare and Clausen stinks it up so we have the #1 pick:

- So if this happens we will have two options I would be OK with. The first is to hire Gruden and bring in McNabb as QB and draft AJ Green. McNabb has been most succesful in a WCO like what Gruden runs and Clausen is suited for a WCO too. Green is also an elite talent and would greatly help our current recievers. The second scenario here is to hire Bill Cowher and take Cam Newton. Under this option I would try and trade down but frankly if Luck isn't there at #1 I doubt anyone will trade up with us. Newton is a freak with a ton of talent and I think Cowher would be a perfect coach for him. Newton would respect Cowher and Cowher has a history with your not so typical QB as he drafted Kordell Stewart and Ben Roethlisberger while he was in Pittsburgh.

3. Clausen plays well winning two or three of our remaining games and puts up good stats, we would probably still pick around 3-6:

- With this scenario I would bring in whichever coach we deemed could best work with Clausen to help him become a great QB and I would still draft Green just because we desperately need offense and he would help Clausen out immensely. IMO you can go OL or defense in FA, later in this draft and in future drafts. If Clausen plays well we will need to draft someone who will make sure he keeps playing well and Green can do that.

Damn yall are harsh...

But anyways, scenario 1 seems ok to me.

We won't hire Gruden or Cowher and Cam Newton is no where near worth the 1st overall pick, so scenario 2 is out.

I would be ok with scenario 3.

I agree, I would prefer scenarios 1 or 3 out of these choices. I don't think any of them will happen however IMO.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
