If Luck doesnt declare, why keep the #1 pick?

Yep...hard to argue otherwise. Geez I'd hate picking a WR w/ 1st overall. So much talent out there. Floyd - ND, and others.

Dream scenario would be to formulate a trade with Detroit to get a pick out of them for Steve Smith and maybe a linebacker or running back.

Not acting on Dwill worries me on our abilities to do much in the future.

only problem is with going ahead and selecting #1 if Luck doesnt declare is we dont get to pick again until round 3. so you'll miss all the 2nd tier QB and DT prospects.

I think you have to go ahead and make an effort to trade down and stockpile picks, we need help everywhere. But, if Luck declares, you take him without hesitation, no trading if he's on the board.

The only way we don't pick first is if Luck comes out but refuses to play for the Panthers, and Denver gives us an extra pick or player to swap.

Like a 3rd and next years 1st and Champ to swap from 1 to 2 and our 4th.

Even that is soooooo far fetched that I call it impossible.

Face it, if Luck stays we are fuged.

If he doesn't declare, why not let the time expire on the clock. Let Denver make that first pick. Hell maybe, even let it expire after Buffalo picks too. Then pick up AJ Green with the 3rd pick. We save money that way.

Wait..... Would that work? Seems childish.... but i'm in

Without Luck in this draft, no one will give up anything material to move up.

      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.
