5. Carolina Panthers

  • Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State

The Panthers gave Teddy Bridgewater a three-year deal but they can get out of the contract rather easily after 2021 if he disappoints as their veteran replacement for Cam Newton. Should they finish worse in 2020 under Matt Rhule and Joe Brady with Bridgewater, it would imply they must upgrade in a younger direction at the positon. Fields is hard to ignore as a dynamic dual threat at 6-3, 233 pounds. He confidently put up prolific all-around numbers during his first season with Ryan Day in Columbus.

5. Carolina Panthers: Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State

Carolina went all defense—literally, all seven picks—in Matt Rhule’s first draft. In free agency, the Panthers reunited Teddy Bridgewater with offensive coordinator Joe Brady, both of whom were with the Saints in 2018. That signing should ease the challenge of implementing a new offensive scheme in such an unusual offseason. If an elite talent like Fields is available here, however, I doubt they pass on the opportunity to upgrade after giving Bridgewater a three-year deal. In his first season with the Buckeyes, Fields posted a 41-to-3 TD-to-INT ratio and added 10 rushing scores.

Round 1 - Pick 5

Fields transferred from Georgia and didn't miss a beat following Dwayne Haskins at Ohio State. He heads into 2020 as one of the best prospects in the country and would make sense for the Panthers, even with Teddy Bridgewater on the roster through 2022.

One love for Trey Lance.

4. Carolina Panthers — QB Trey Lance, North Dakota State

Clemson's Trevor Lawrence gets all the preseason hype as far as quarterbacks go, but don't sleep on North Dakota State's Trey Lance. 

The 6'3", 224-pound redshirt freshman threw for 28 touchdowns against zero interceptions with a 66.9 completion percentage in 2019 and then rushed for 1,100 yards and 14 touchdowns to add to his impressive breakout season.

The Panthers are committed to Teddy Bridgewater for 2020, but the future is wide-open. If a dynamic, athletic passer like Lance enters the 2021 draft as a redshirt sophomore, there will be considerable excitement among NFL franchises.

Maybe he could be the answer. Just speaking statistics ...I can’t remember anyone one since I’ve been alive that was a productive QB In the NFL from Ohio state. 
 

Could be wrong , just going on memory here but I can’t think of anyone . 

The list is ugly. We’ll just say that Fields was initially a Bulldog from UGA

Trevor Lawrence or bust

Keep wishing. Jaguars are the favorite to land him. Plus, they have two 1st rounders next year. Ammunition to move up for him. Be happy if we could get Field or Lance.

Ammunition isn’t going to matter. Assuming he’s healthy (knock on wood, don’t want to jinx him), he’s the first pick and no one will trade out of the top spot. If you want Lawrence you need to already have the pick. Unless it’s a freak occurrence like Mahomes signs his extension and gets hurt and they go 1-15, I can’t fathom a team with an older QB or a younger QB that wouldn’t keep Lawrence. Washington keep Haskins, Jax keep Minshew, us keep Teddy, Detroit, Giants, Colts? Heck, I’d move on from Mayfield and others.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
