Is this class decent enough for a flyer on a 4th round development QB? 

We'll see. There's some guys who are intriguing. Drew Allar would probably be the top of my list. Talen Green has Anthony Richardson type physical talent and that's always intriguing if you can get it in the mid-rounds. The Baylor guy and the NDSU guy are two others. It's just really hard to predict exactly where these types of prospects are going to land on the draft and they're probably scattered wildly on draft boards across the league. All it takes is one for a guy to go a lot earlier than expected.

Jordan Reid is pretty locked in and an expert that I trust more than others. Pretty sensible and logical with his thoughts, and the rumors he hears quite often, are not click bait.

I was intrigued by the buzz about the Panthers at the combine. Chubb? Thibodeaux? Hendrickson? 

If Fano falls, run the card up. I don't care about arm length with the production and versatility as a LT or RT (see: Slater, Rashawn).

He then comes back with a rush LB though, which is odd given the first statement about preferring to address in FA/trade....

Only guy I'd look at based on the way the board fell here, is Wheatley. TBF, Thomas is probably more of a BPA over Wheatley. Hill, Jr. goes 46 and Rodriguez went 49th. This reminds me too much of the '23 draft when we thought our guy would be there and we settled for DJ.

I'm just not sold on us being highly interested in Fano. We seem to prefer big mauler type OL and Fano is the opposite.

Last tackle we drafted there were different people in charge. May or may not make a difference.

Mason Thomas fascinates me but that size scares me even though he looks really good on film and has the production to back it.

I have a very hard time believing any of these types of rumors this time of year. We're in peak lying season. LOL

No it's legit!  I probably wouldn't draft Downs before pick... 19?  Just to play it safe.

Yeah, with our luck with injuries we'd draft him and he'd pop his ACL walking across the stage to shake Goodell's hand. LOL

Its from the combine doctors and some team in the teens leaked the infro(my guess), its 100% legit. My thinking is he was a game changer with a bum knee. MCL should heal before TC and if he makes it until the end, fix the knee/acl/whatever in the next off-season. Like the short armed DE bain, he's not going to fall far even with bad news...just too good.

I thought I saw where all the Tackles were projected to be right tackles in the NFL.

      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.
