Ten days left, and we have a draft-heavy version of the Takeaways …
The trail of clues on the first pick in the draft keeps leading back to Bryce Young becoming a Panther. Last week, we mentioned the amount of time the team brass spent with Young (and the time put in with Young’s parents), as well as Young’s S2 score—a 98, better than previous high scorers Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Justin Fields—and how owner David Tepper is said to be a believer in the cognitive test.
This week, there’s a smaller detail coming—Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud and Kentucky’s Will Levis will come in for their 30 visits Tuesday. On one hand, sometimes teams do bring in the players they’re most interested in closer to the deadline for such visits (that’s Wednesday). On the other, if Carolina was going to do a full day of introducing Stroud to everyone in the building, chances are they’d bring him in without another QB there.
