Yeah...and just wait until the last 2 weeks before the draft. It's why that nonsense about the Panthers debating about whether they'll take Stroud or Young is just that, nonsense. They already know who they're taking. Edited March 29, 2023 by swede700 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the kind of drama I'd be down to watch in prime time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the kind of drama I'd be down to watch in prime time. That's one thing that's been lost with this new generation of GMs, the chaos...often, it seems that there is less drama as each year goes by, mainly because teams seem to be more analytical and transparent with each other. There is less secrecy amongst themselves (and even with the media in some cases), so we don't often get nearly as many surprises as we used to. I can't imagine there'll be any Clelin Ferrell-type picks this year, but it'd be nice if we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The League wants to project some sense of surprise...even though we know the Panthers already know. They'll also go through the theater of waiting until they're almost out of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually expecting one or two of those types of picks. There aren’t many blue chip players, so we could easily see a “surprise” pick or two.

I just don’t really see the surprise being at the top of the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially very good. Probably another 4-5 1st rounder deep class. Although next year will have Caleb Williams who is far and away the top prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If next years class were able to come out this year, Caleb Williams Bryce Young CJ Stroud Drake Maye Anthony Richardson Bo Nix, Michael Pratt, Michael Penix could all be 1st rounders. Some other big names out there... Spencer Rattler, Jordan Travis, JJ McCarthey, & Jayden Daniels could all look to improve their stock this year. Really its an all around better class, not that they will all be stars, but there is some talent out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it looks to be a pretty deep class with Williams at the top...and then you have Drake Maye (UNC), Michael Penix (UW), Bo Nix (Oregon), Quinn Ewers (Texas), Tyler Van Dyke (Miami), Grayson McCall (Tyler Thigpen U), Shedeur Sanders (Colorado), KJ Jefferson (Arkansas), and another Huard, Sam, son of Damon (Cal Poly), amongst others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what ive heard and read both Drake Maye and Caleb William would go above any QB in this years draft class. Both A prospects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
