and Hello, welcome to another episode of Purple Inside or Matthew Collar here along with CPS

Sports Trap analyst Chris Trepasso.

Chris we're almost there man we're getting there like we are marching down to the

final moments here and we are what week and a half away from actual draft time. How you feeling

buddy? I wish the draft was like this upcoming Thursday like I'm ready for it to be here

but I get it like teams do need to do these top 30 visits to get to know these players

I guess but yes I'm excited as we get inside two weeks we start to get the speculation that a lot of which ultimately becomes true especially that final week of the draft is like every second year on Twitter like looking for a J Glazer or a

Adam Schefter of course Ian Rapporton Nugget about a team is obsessed with

this prospect and they're going to trade up.

So we're nearing that really, really fun week.

So for that, I'm very excited.

Okay, let's start with that because it feels like there has been enough from some old school reporters about

Bryce Young being number one overall which I have always felt like was not going

to change that he was going to be the, that he was at the end of the college football season, the guy, he was going to remain the guy, even if other people tried to say somebody else was the guy, that's how I felt about it. I could be wrong, of course. But the number one overall pick. Are the Panthers taking Bryce Young in your mind?

I think they are. I think the fact that that there had coach, Reich, came out about Bryce Young, I believe at the owners meetings and just said like, hey, Heights not a big deal like for us, which Frank Reich being a 80s and 90s quarterback himself and they have a veteran staff there that he's assembled in Carolina that we've discussed on this podcast.

It wouldn't have been crazy for him to come out and kind of bring those tea leaves to the forefront to say, yeah, you know, we really

like to have a quarterback that's like 62 or bigger and he didn't say that. He actually said that to the

contrary. Then there was the report from the

ESPN reporter I believe his name is David Newton there for the

Panthers who said like hey it's pretty much down to Bryce Young and

CJ Stroud now I wouldn't bet my mortgage that it's Bryce Young because I do think

Stroud has a pretty good case and I don't think we're not talking about a Joe
