Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer, assistant general manager Dan Morgan, and director of college scouting Cole Spencer met with the local media ahead of next week's NFL Draft where they dispelled reports that they've made their decision on who to take with the top pick. Fitterer did reveal that the past month of evaluations has provided clarity but the Panthers have not zeroed in on a single prospect. While Julian Council believes that the Panthers are still having discussions he remembers the old saying that "when there's smoke, there's fire."

Last year as the Panthers contemplated taking a QB early in the draft, comparisons were made to Fitterer's time in Seattle when the Seahawks took Russell Wilson in the third round of the 2012 draft. Carolina would go on to draft Matt Corral after trading back into the 3rd round confirming that Fitterer wasn't afraid to go that route with a potential franchise signal-caller in Carolina. Unfortunately, an injury prematurely ended Corral's rookie season and he now sits near the bottom of the QB depth chart. The Wilson comparison may be a more apt fit for Bryce Young, who like Wilson is an undersized prospect. Julian goes into detail on how Young compares to Wilson.

Plus, further takeaways from Tuesday's availability.
