Panthers trade up for #1 pick

[dsbigred1]

Panthers owner is such a fat stupid ugly fuck

Trading away draft capital of this magnitude rarely works out very well for sustained success.
Maybe they pull a Costner in Draft Day and parlay this into a crazy good haul. Doubtful, because this isn’t Hollywood.

I saw some Panthers beat reporter for the Athletic talk about them trading the pick and I lol'd out loud so hard

You do need a qb to have a shot in the NFL these days. If they find their gem they will be fine but it’s such a crap shoot at qb. The risk is certainly high with what they did, but they aren’t going anywhere without a quality qb anyways.

True - if you believe the #1 pick from Carolina in the '24 draft is a #1 pick, it's a no brainer good deal for the Bears.

It's certainly top 10 and they should have a good amount of picks in 2024 to trade up.

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

They probably could have got him at 9 though

Yeah if it were me drafting I would go with Stroud..

Levis and Richardson are going to get some GM fired

Bryce da 5'9" will get someone fired too

 

[2010sarenevercomingback]

I’m sure whoever they pick will end up being the greatest QB of all time

Raiola is not draft eligible yet, though. Maybe with that 2025 pick.

Even with Young’s size I would take him before Richardson or Levis. The guy has great pocket presence. Those two aren’t even in the ball park in that regard.

I saw Richardson had the most impressive combine stats of any QB ever? Not sure if that shoots him up to #1 though

he also completed like 53% of his passes last year

Yea, if they are excited about this move… umm

I didn't realize Carolina was at 9. Figured they were top 5. Still Skronski, Paris Campbell, or Broderick Jones would be fine iyam. I'd bet they actually take Jalen Carter if he falls to them at 9. Not sure how likely that is.

If Carter is available for you guys at 9, I'll be pissed. The Lions better not pass on him if he is available at 6.

Hypothetically 4 qbs go top 5 and the other pick is not Will Andsrson. Who do you take?

I can’t buy the 4 qbs in the top 5 but if it happens bump it. I’ll admit I’m wrong.

You do need a good QB, but they are sacrificing 4 potentially high impact players for the possibility (which is slim) of getting 1 great QB-and giving away his #1 target.
I get the desire to take the risk, but history has proven time and again that keeping the draft capital and drafting the best available QB at the 9 spot is the higher likelihood for success. If a guy you like isn’t there, you trade down and accumulate to build upon other areas of your team.
Sacrificing the rest of your team for any position (even the most important) rarely has worked out for numerous reasons.

I’m not going to disagree. At the moment I certainly think the bears won, but I see where Carolina is coming from. A franchise qb changes everything.
