The 2023 Draft

I watched something on Reich and what he is looking for in a QB, and besides the "leader" stuff he mentioned in his intro, he also mentioned mobility, not necessarily a runner like Josh Allen runner, but one that needed to be accounted for. Certainly not a Brady where nobody covers him.
They also showed a lot of his offense and he 10-15 yd crossing patterns. Lots of guys have a good deep ball, but the mid range crossing patterns are hard for them to hit in stride. Cam Newton could throw the ball through a brick wall, but had guys turning around backwards and jumping at balls 3 feet over their head. Mostly mechanics for him.

Will be fun to see what and who we talk with in a week or so in Indy

 

I think Stroud is the best fit for Reich in the current crop, but I'm not sure he will be available unless we give up a fuck-ton of draft assets to trade up. After the whole Sean Gilbert and Everette Brown fiascos, I'm still gun-shy about trading away future firsts.

This mock, as he says, has no trades. Chicago would probably trade down and if we are looking at value for a 9 pick and best value is an OT, then I would figure the Panthers would drop back to 13-15 and pick up someone else or move up for a QB. He thinks we go vet route. I am hoping we pick up a tackle that can kick in to guard in a fix, but not in 1st round. Keep in mind that many say this is a weak draft and 1st round talent is only about 15 guys

I had mentioned many pages back about Tyree Wilson and it looks like he is climbing. Be great if Anderson dropped to us

AR value is 2nd half of the 1st round.

Say a trade adds an extra pick so we get FIVE of these.
Who are your 5 picks, and who do you add in free agency?

 

I'd go with Gonzalez at 9 because how often are there three 6' 2" badass corners in the top half of a draft? We HAVE to get one
Siaki Ika at 40 Jack Campbell at 62 *Isaiah Foskey at 66
Hendon Hooker at 94

FOUR core defensive impact players (in the near future) and a future starting QB who will be an upgrade to anyone we've had in a long while by year two.
Add FA's LB Drue Tranquill and TE Evan Engram

Playoffs!

 

WR PARKER WASHINGTON, PENN STATE
I like this kid.

Edge Van Ness Iowa
LB Jack Campbell Iowa
QB Hooker Tenn
CB Gonzalez Oregon

 

I saw some kick where all 4 QB went ahead of us and we took the Illinois CB

 

If there's a run on QBs the panthers are likely to be a part of it.

My feelings on the draft are hazy cause of free agency. Sign a qb and they can wait and see for example.

You can justify almost any position- OL is probably the safest to ignore.

 

I've read where Carr wants 35 mil a year. What with other qB wanting more is he worth it?

 

IMHO
nope
