Definately don't see it happening. I'm hoping someone blows up in the combine and have some team foolish enough to trade up for them. I personally don't think any of these top prospects are worth the #1 pick. I rather trade down multiple times in the 1st round and stack up on picks. It would be great to have an elite player but I rather get a really good player with plenty of others that can provide depth and even be good starters for us.

Teams generally only trade up to the #1 spot for a highly-touted franchise QB prospect (aka Luck). Even with the old CBA that handed top picks massive contracts teams still traded up for Vick, Eli Manning and teams tried to trade up for Bradford last year but the Rams wanted to keep the pick.

Even if one of the QB needy teams in the top 10 falls in love with Gabbert or Newton they will most likely stay put and hope their guy falls to them. Maybe a team with a mid to late first will trade up but even then they won't move all the way up to #1 overall.

You have to hope one of these QBs blow up the combine and then really sell the idea that you will take them yourself. That's the only way I can see it happening and that's not very likely.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
