We may not be drafting a QB with the 8th pick but maybe later...

If it is true the Panthers were deep in the Stafford talks, then I don't see any reason to think as of now we won't be super aggressive trying to trade up for a QB.

Yep. All indications are that we were heavily involved in the Stafford trade talks and that we will be in the Watson trade talks when/if they get going. We definitely seem to be of a very aggressive mindset in solving our QB problem this off-season.

If you like a guy you take him , rhule loves Mac jones expect him at 8 I don’t think we should trade back because 49ers , pats , saints will snatch him . 
 

im fine with him or tre lance , just don’t want fields or Wilson which are terrible running qbs they are not pocket passers they are college system qbs. Mac jones is pro ready same with tre lance 

Lmao Mac Jones is not going 8th.

Honestly, if the 4 QBs are gone and we get Slater or Sewell, life is good.

I could potentially see us trading back if the situation is right. I can also see us taking someone other than QB and not drafting QB at all this year. When your GM is all about building a team you don't draft the wrong QB.

That would be a crazy situation. Sewell falling that far.

I agree, but we don't know "how deep or hard" they tried? It could be just due diligence and perception for the fans that they are trying every angle, so if it doesn't happen, they don't like they didn't try. If we are going to give away the farm, go for Trevor. He's as close to a sure thing in the draft as possible. But Watson and Mahomes were not #1 picks either so maybe wait. Its a crap shoot to a degree. Exciting if anything to see how it all unfolds.

If you’re of the belief the team can’t hit on a player with a top 10 pick how on earth do you think they’ll hit on guys in the late rounds? 
 

for the “oh a rookie qb could bust, just trade all our good picks away for Watson” guys

You can probably get Watson for cheaper than Trevor.

NBC thinks Watson to Carolina is legit and we won’t settle for a rookie.  It would cost 3 first round picks.  Watson would love to have CMC, DJ and Robby as his weapons.  Rhule also said draft will be offense heavy.

I think it'll cost more than three 1sts. Three 1sts probably just kicks off the conversation. If you're not coming with at least that they're not even giving you the time of day.
