Panthers: Bryce Young or CJ Stroud?

Who does everyone think the Panthers will take with their first pick?

Both QB's were surrounded with ridiculous levels of talent at WR, RB, and offensive line, so that argument is out of play here.

I personally think Stroud is the better QB and for the last few weeks most of the information coming out was pointing towards the Panthers leaning that way as well. He has elite accuracy on his throws and the arm strength to make them all.

Bryce Young played better out of the pocket, but how much of that was because he needed to step out to find a clear throwing lane because of his short stature?

Suddenly, the odds in Vegas and all other signs now point pretty clearly towards Bryce Young.

I'd love to discuss both QB's and who is the better prospect, feel free to, but that's not what the poll is about. The question is who do you think the Panthers will pick?

I still think it's Stroud. I smell smoke.

Young

It's either gonna be Young or Richardson

Stroud isn't really a big swing, and if you're trading multiple 1sts, 2nds, and a #1 WR, you're taking a big swing.

None of them. Maybe I didn't post here in the general, but in the Cowboy forum I posted almost two months ago that I don't like any of the QB's in this draft class.

Who would you take if the Cowboys had the 1st pick? Carter??

I trade back with someone and gain an extra 1st round pick.

That's an interesting thought process. Anthony Richardson has ridiculous physical tools, but he has almost no experience and his accuracy is... inconsistent at best. I highly doubt he goes #1 overall when Stroud and Young are there.

For a team like Carolina that looks like a possible playoff team with solid QB play, I'm not sure they'd want to wait for him to develop. Young and Stroud look ready to play out of the gate.

Will Anderson still looks like the best overall prospect in this class imo.

Jalen Carter is the better, more dominate player. But he's going to drop due to the off field/character stuff.

The most talented overall prospect is Bijan.

Bryce is by far the best QB in this class. By a sizeable margin.

I put out my player rankings in the draft prospects thread.

Eh, I still disagree about Young. We'll see. I don't trust Carter, he reminds me too much of Nick Fairly. I don't see the Bijan hype playing out: Adrian Peterson is still the best RB prospect I've personally seen by far.

I'll check out the draft prospects thread.
