Anyone else succumbing to best QB available?

I follow as much as anyone else can claim that they pay attention to Mocks, BPA, Team needs. I know most of this stuff has been covered but I feel that the dynamics of the draft are shifting. The very important QBs are real but the reality of every other position are starting to set in. Like Atlanta may very well love Pitts or Sewell just for example. People forget that teams have traded up mightily to take these spots. Just because they arent Qb focused does not steal from their value. With that said, reading McShays mock where we trade up 1, I hope our FO laughs at the thought. As much as I want one ,If 4 to 5 QBs go in front of us our pick will still be enormously valuable. Think teams are falling into range and we will land our qb. If we take Slater over Lance or Fields, I'll just sit back n eat the popcorn. Cheers my friends. I'm still like a 10 year old kid when it comes to draft time. In case anyone gives a damn this is my list

1  Lawrence

2 Wilson

3 Fields

4 Pitts

5 Slater

6 Lance

7 Sewell

8 Jones

9 Chase

really don’t want to be an org that just cycles through QBs but it’s hard to see how the team could rally around TB. 

Got a top 8? I'd love your opinion.

I will be happy with BPA. I honestly don't want us to settle and reach for a QB that we truly didn't want as our first couple choices. Hell, I'd rather just get rid of Teddy and sign a free agent or draft a late round QB and roll with what we have while enjoying an 8th pick BPA and getting ready to take a QB high next year.

Kind of with you but it looks like one may fall into our laps without a trade. So do you take say 4th best qb in this class (which is great) or 1st OT?

That's a tough call. I'd love 1st OT but 4th QB would make me at least seriously consider. If the 4th QB has potential to develop, a solid attitude and the mentality to lead I'd say you would almost have to take the QB. If any doubts then I'd say 1st OT. Glad I'm not making that decision as picking a 4th best QB and making a failed pick could cost someone's job ultimately. If I think I could develop that 4th QB I would probably roll the dice though but I cant have any doubts in the players mental capacity.

The reality is the franchise hasn't had a true opportunity to get it's next franchise QB since Cam. It not as easy as so many are acting. The franchise took a chance with Teddy, which wasn't wasted. I still believe most just bought into the hype that we were getting Watson no matter what. The shock and brokenness is leaving those people literally hysterical and going crazy. 

We don't have to find our franchise guy this second. If the team likes any of these guys in the draft, then they do what it takes to grab him, and move forward. 

Another year with Teddy isn't terrible. May be a lot better than we think. The team is getting better, and we're still building this team.

Far as I'm concerned,  keep building the team.until ya find the guy ya can't live without, do what it takes to secure his services, and insert him into a talented laden team.  Not the other way around.

    • What this chart tells me with absolute certainty: In the first round, we like Georgia's #11 or #13 at 8.  However, TMac as the lone offensive player could suggest that he is the pick if on the board--if they liked him. the reason I think this?  There are edges predicted to go in all other rounds that were met with.  The others seem to be preparing for a trade back.  I think Morgan wants to do that.  We are definitely prioritizing edge over anything else in rounds 1 and 2. The overwhelming number of Edges/OLBs in rounds 1-3 might suggest that they are looking for two edges--or they are going to go after a WR and or S in round 1.  For example, if Walker is gone, they might want to take TMac.  With only 1 WR and 1 S mentioned in round 1, it makes you wonder if they are not being targeted.  At WR, Noel is listed in round 2 and Sanker is the only other S listed, in round 4.  Jon Snow's prediction that Emmanwori could be the pick in round 1 is supported by this theory. In a draft so overloaded at DT, the Panthers brought in Nolen (probably wondering if he drops to the second and if the rumors about his character are valid), TJ Sanders from the USC in the second, and Deione Walker, a NT from KY (I heard they liked him at SR Bowl) in the third.  In other words, not a lot of DT attention in the first 3 rounds. However, of the 11 players listed as prospects in rounds 2 and 3, five (5) are edge players.  We are taking an edge in rounds 1 or 2.  I think, since only 1 WR and no safeties are listed after round 1, they will be flexible in round 1.  They cannot be flexible with S based on this list, unless Sanker in round 4 is more than a fallback. Here is the dilemma--if they take an edge in round 1--based on this list only--does that force them to take Noel in round 2 and Sanker in round 4?  Big dropoffs if you consider that Princely and Swinson and Kinnard will be there in rounds 2 and 3? The lack of focus on WR is alarming. Of course, teams could use visits to analyze character because red flags are flying.  Nolen, TMac, have questions. DL seems to pick up steam at pick 140.  In fact, South Carolina has 4 DL on this list (most are local visits).    What do I get from this? Taking a S in round 1 makes sense and the rest of the draft seems to fall together.  Trade back is ideal. In round 1, we seem to be focused on Jalon Walker (LB) and Emmanwori (S).  TMac is a real possibility, allowing them to focus on D from here out. Round 2 will be an edge-maybe even if we take Walker.   However, if we do take Walker, Round 2 could be Noel (WR). Round 3  I think, based on this, the Panthers will take Knight (LB USC).  I think Morgan will love him.  Walker (NT, KY) is also on the table. Round 4  If they missed Emmanwori in the first round, Sanker is taken here.  I would also expect them to draft Trapoli (OT) a RT with excellent pass blocking skills.  Round 5  The Panthers seem to like the depth of this draft at DL enough to focus on DT depth with picks 140 and 146.  DTs Cam Jackson and Pegues are listed.  Both would be steals here.
