NFP has him as the #16 rated player.

This is significant because Cleveland, Jacksonville (I doubt they reach for another rookie QB) and Miami pick before us. Both have adequate veterans who could play until the raw QB develops. A player could drop to #9 if he can get into the top 10.

Secondly, a team like Seattle, KC, or even DENVER (If they sign Manning and trade The Golden Calf of Bristol, this would be VERY smart, considering Tannehill is 2 years away--think Aaron Rogers) might trade with us. A team would want to leapfrog the mass of teams needing a QB that follow us in the draft.

I think it serves the Panthers well if Tannehill's stock continues to rise.

Think Miami

I think the Browns are going to make a big play for Flynn. Miami will only have to worry about Seattle moving to 7 and cutting them out. No need for the Panthers to be involved. Just my opinion. When you think trade down, think Buffalo.

If Miami were to pass on him, then Seattle should not have any problem with him dropping in their lap.

Am the only one who thinks this guys is overrated?

I think he is not a first round pick, but everyone is singing his praises--say in 2 years he is a franchise QB. I still do not see top 10. Most of those teams have immediate needs.

Stirs, I see Flynn in Miami due to his relationship with Philbin. Cleveland may wait until the second round and take Weeden. If Miami misses Manning and Flynn, they are the prime for Tannehill

If somehow Trent Richardson and Tannehill go before us, we are getting a player to drop to us. I also see a player like Floyd (WR) possibly sneaking into the fold. Reiff is another who could go to the Rams at #6. Probably not Claiborne, but a player like Coples could fall to us.

QB driven league so they generally go higher than they are rated. Look at last years draft in first round. Ponder, Gabbert, etc.

QB's go higher than they ought, and RB's go much lower than they ought

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
