Pep and our 2nd for it?

Bam, we get our QB of the future and save money by getting rid of Pep and not having a second.

Why the hell would we draft a QB with a number 1 overall pick? Stafford is not a number 1. IF we got the number one overall and IF we were not able to trade down, we would be wise to take Orapko to take Pepper's place

I wouldn't even trade for the 1st overall unless I got a packaged deal for both first round picks or I already had a deal in place to trade back down with it.

Pick it up with next years first, 2nd and a 4th rounder this year, then trade back to like 18th spot and pick back up a 1st this year and one next year, and a 2nd. Then trade Peppers to a team for a pick around 16th - 20th, 3rd rounder and a 5th rounder. Adding 2 first this year, an extra 3rd, and 5th rounder this year as well. While swapping 2nd's this year and first's this year. Only pick we really give up is a 4th rounder this year and Peppers.

Don't really know how you can say Stafford is not worthy of the #1 pick. From everything I have heard and read he is extremely dedicated, very smart, and has all of the physical tools. You never know until you get the QB into camp and on the field but he is about as good a prospect as has come out at that position. It will all depend on the environment he can get into...ours would be conducive to making him a great QB. The point is moot tho considering we would never trade into that spot. What would the price tag even be for it tho??

Or, you could trade to the 1st pick and overall trade it back to get more picks :-D

That sounds interesting. This draft seems like a sleeper draft. Not too many top talents, but tons of potential with the likely 2-4 rounders.

Stafford might be worth a number one overall for someone, but we would be stupid if we did take him there. But you also have to keep in mind that "extremely dedicated, very smart, and has all of the physical tools," is pretty much exactly what was said about Alex Smith. It's a seller's market for QBs right now, and it's just not worth the risk. We went to the Super Bowl with an undrafted; we're not the kind of team that needs a Peyton Manning to succeed. And while I would love a Peyton Manning, a number one overall can turn into a Jamarcus Russel just as easily. It's just not a smart time to be drafting a QB #1 overall unless your franchise has nothing to lose, like the Lions at this point.

no one will bite. dolphins tried it last year. you could get a good 3 or 4 extra picks from it but no one wants to pay the price. it just isn't worth it. not only would you have to give up a ton to the other team but you would have to pay out a ton on a high risk/high price prospect.

lions know that stafford could drop to probably 10th if they don't take him (no one else needs a QB that badly in the top 10) and there is no reason that you should have to pay that kind of money to one person when you could get them for a much cheaper rate (probably $2-4mil/year) about an hour or two later.

their needs are so great in so many areas....this sounds like a no brainer but it's highly unlikely that it will work.

      What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
