What are we doing in the draft?

I wonder what Verge thinks. I don't think Verge saw this coming at all....And if you see this Verge are we still going QB in the draft?

To @Verge’s credit, she had Darnold on our radar as someone we would want depending how things went.  

sounds like post 49ers trade that got speed up and more expensive.  Sounds like we negotiated the picks for a bit.  

I would like to know if QB is still in play and not off the table come draft like the GM said

I got clarity about Darnold on Saturday. Didn't leave much room for speculation lol

 

I still think we could go QB, but it is much more likely we got get a CB or olineman.

Apparently discussions started at Justin Fields' Pro Day - so this has been 5 days in the making.

I think people are reading too much into the "they didn't like QBs #3 & #4" as opposed to ensuring we had Teddy's replacement already in house in case plans went awry on draft night.  Teddy was not going to be here next season and Darnold was the nail in that coffin.    In 12-24 months Sam might be very well  be getting that same one-way ticket out of Charlotte.  I mean does the staff love Grier and Walker that much?

Word on which one we prefer?

I think we will trade down to be honest.  OL will almost certainly be addressed with our first pick regardless.

If we aren't drafting a QB, honestly trading down and picking up future assets is probably my preference.

I don't want to trade WAY down, but sliding back to say a few spots and getting that '22 2nd rounder back? Yeah, I'd take that.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
