  1. 1. Is it possible?

    • No, he'll be off the board
      9
    • Possible, but not necessarily our primary need right now
      40
    • Possible, and a good pick because we need someone to push Cam (and maybe start in 2019 or late 2018)

I do not understand the WR talk at all. Why convert a Heisman QB to WR in a league where playing WR is getting harder and playing QB is getting easier? Madness, IMO.

I need some more info on this. That's a very bold statement. I feel like these work hand in hand. A good WR makes a QB's jobs easier (See Foles) and a good QB makes a WR's job easier (See every patriot WR and Jimmy G. with 49ers).

 

We are in a league that is full of bubble screens, quick hits, and drags. Not sure how that makes it more difficult on the WR's.

No reason at all to make this move unless the plan is to demolish the roster and start rebuilding. We need a backup QB but not a potential replacement QB. I suspect Jackson will end up as a top 15 pick because so many teams are hungry for QB's this year. 

Also, I think the talk of him moving to WR is pretty goofy. If people question Jackson's ability to be an NFL QB for the reasons that they do, I do not understand why they go ga-ga over Darnold or Allen. None of those three is a surefire HR as a QB prospect in the NFL.

QB is the biggest roll of the dice in the game.  The only way you spend a first round pick on a QB is if you don't already have one.  We have one. 

I don't disagree that we should always be alert for the opportunity to pick up a QB later in the draft, but he first couple rounds should bring us players who will play for us next season.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
