Totally agree with OP though, after ~ pick 8 there is a large talent drop off from elite prospects to very good prospects

Love this topic OP 1- Lawrence. Best QB prospect since Luck 2- Fields. Would be #1 overall prospect any year but this one. Can make any throw on Field. Has elite athleticism he actually underutilizes. His accuracy is top notch and the whole first read thing reeks of racism and is untrue. 3-Wilson. Live arm, will need some work but has a very high ceiling. 4-Trey Lance. Tons of potential. Ran a pro-style offense and had a lot of control over it. Elite athleticism. Probably the highest boom/bust prospect but might have the most potential. 5-Penei Sewell. Elite athleticism for a man his size. Started LT as a freshman. 6-Rashawn Slater. Not as far behind Sewell as you might guess. Stonewalled Chase Young in the game against him. Strong as hell. 7-Kyle Pitts. Unicorn type prospect. Positional value drops him to 7 on my big board. 8-Jamar Chase. Not a need but is a true WR #1. Just for fun 9-Jaylen Waddle, 10-Patrick Surtain, 11-Christian Darrisaw, 12- Jaycee Horn, 13- Greg Newsome, 14- Devonta Smith, 15- Aljah Vera-Tucker, 16- Tevon Moehring

I wouldn't be mad but he's below Slater in my book

FWIW Ben Allbright who is well connected in the league believes Sewell isn't the highest tackle on our board. That means we either have Slater one or we like Slater, Darrisaw and Sewell all pretty equally. I still think Slater ends up being our pick but don't be surprised with a trade down to 12-14 range and we draft Darrisaw or Horn I'm going out on a limb right now and stating that passing on Fields would be a HUGE mistake. So what if we've given up a 2nd and 4th four Darnold. You get TWO cracks at a franchise QB if you draft Fields at 8.

If i had to bet (which I love gambling)...I'd say Slater is the most likely pick. Sewell and Pitts will likely both be gone.

My Realistic Options 1 Justin Fields 2 Trey Lance 3 Sewell 4 Slater 5 Pitts 6 Trade Down ~ pick 12-14 range and target Darisaw or Horn 7 Surtain

I think we'd go Pitts but I would go Sewell FWIW I think there is like a 0.1% chance Pitts is there at 8

I think the problem with trading with Miami was (at the time) the Panthers were trying to conserve as many assets as possible for a Deshaun trade.

Honestly we couldn't have convinced the Jets to just take Teddy with all those picks

this is probably not true. this smells exactly like Cam last year. Cat is out of the bag we don't want him. we will end up cutting him

I mean Nick fuging Foles and his terrible contract netted a fourth rounder. QBs are just expensive Here's my take on this thing: if it works out, we get a price controlled franchise QB who is 23 for two years. If it doesn't work out we probably nab a top five pick next year and get a QB then. Worst case scenario is a repeat of this year which to be honest is totally possible but I'm exhausted.

LOL OP this thread title had me hooked plus your username A+

lmao jake fromm absolutely sucks

oh Denver definitely could, this is assuming no more trades. I'm not convinced Den is sold on any of these QBs being better than Lock. Ben Allbright is super well connected in the league and esp with the Broncos and he keeps advocating for Lock (which makes me think thats the organization saying it)

1- Lawrence 2- Wilson 3- Lance 4- Pitts 5- Chase 6- D. Smith? 7- Jaylen Waddle?/Sewell/Slater?/Parson? 8- Fields

Sewell/Slater for sure. Panthers are slowly leaking more and more that QB won't be the pick. It's either a smokescreen or they are trying to temper fan's expectatinos

I mean the argument could be made we were an actual number two CB away in 2015 from a Superbowl, Peyton didn't throw Norman's way at all and he had some lame duck balls a more skilled CB would have picked 6'd

Ehhhh I could definitely see this being a smokescreen by the Panthers. Saying you really love the guaranteed number one and two overall picks doesn't tip your hand at all I still maintain Fields will drop to us and we will take him. That doesn't take us out of the Deshaun running later as Fields is an enticing piece. Further we give up 0 assets to a future deshaun trade by remaining at 8

yea this guy is the one I would target in the mid rounds

They aren't taking Fields I can almost guarantee it. They either traded up for Mac Jones which I have no fuging idea why they would unless secretly the Panthers loved him and were about to trade up for him OR more likely imo They traded up for Lance. It's a poorly kept secret the Falcons loved Lance.

agree. I have no idea what Detroit is going to do. Fields might fall all the way to 7 and then Detroit fugs us out of nowhere

cincy is going chase mia is going pitts det is a wildcard

number two cams college number perfect

If SF is dumb enough to take Mac Jones then yes I truly believe Lance or Fields will be a possibility for us
