Panthers trade for Sam Darnold

[45catfan]

Trade back with the Patriots now.  After this laughable ruse of Jones to 9ers at #3 is debunked and he's sitting there at #8, we call Bill up in Boston and tell him Mac is all his for the right price.  Then we draft Darrisaw at #15 and recoup our picks for Darnold.

Funny, I literally did a mock a couple hours ago in the draft subforum based on us trading for Darnold.  I promise I had no insider knowledge that this was actually going down while I was creating the mock.  Look at the post time and while it was edited, that was over two hours ago.

What are the odds Rhule comes out and says there will be open competition during camp for the QB position?

With who? Bridgewater? Walker? Grier?

Darnold is the starter.

I'm excited. I'd rather gamble on Darnold for a 2nd than Gamble on someone else and have to give up multiple firsts.

Agreed. History says it is likely only one QB of this draft class succeeds and even extremely unlikely for 2 or more.

Sewell or Slater has to be the pick. Assuming pitts doesnt fall

Tepper did not want Teddy on this team period. This makes that possible regardless of the draft.

I wished he had come to that conclusion before he was signed. We could be talking Sunshine right now.

Yup.

He’ll be running around in Panthers backfield instead of NY unless we fix the line. And we will still need a QB. Difference is we will be in that position after next year without picks and money paying TB AND Darnold we could’ve rolled over lol.

Alright Mr. Tepper I always said I would be patient and wait and see but your recent moves are fuging mind boggling.

Watch us trade back with Denver now, and still grab Surtain while netting a second this year and next

"he was just in a bad situation" is the new "He went 5-0 as a starter!"

Me too. Hate the 2nd next year but we’ll see how he does and we didn’t lose any good picks this year.

This is what happened because we decided to go for it in 2020. We put ourselves out of the running for a top QB. I still don’t think SF will take Jones. It also doesn’t preclude us from taking a QB we like if they happen to fall. We may assume Fields is gone at 3 and we won’t give up a king's ransom for 2.

I would guess that their mindset is that they're a QB away from making the playoffs and that Sam Darnold has tremendous natural talent so Joe Brady can probably fix his woes.

Hopefully the only picks we see him throw on Sundays.

Now that your here.

what’s your feeling on our pick now?  I don’t see Sewell fall to 8. 

QB, OL, or CB
