I prognosticate Panthers draft day.

Looking into my crystal ball.

 

Matt Rhule will need three starters out of this draft to have a chance at saving his job.

Therefore...

a) A QB won't be selected.

b) At least one trade down is likely.

Unfortunately, the 6th pick this year isn't as valuable as other years thanks to a weaker draft class.

The Panthers will end up with two late first round picks and one late second round pick. They also might pick up a third round pick and have a well rounded draft. 

Im tellling you right now, it might be all offensive line.

It should be all OL. If we can get 3 LEGIT starters out of this draft we might have a chance at not sucking.

But I agree, Rule doesn't have the luxury of developing a young QB (not that he's capable of it anyway) and he also can't risk drafting a QB and hoping he's ready to go out of the gate. So QB probably won't be the pick at 6.

All that to say.... Our first pick will probably be another corner.

Anybody know what McAdoo's track record is like with developing young QBs?

They should have done that last year. Now they are going to make up for lost picks with a trade back and find 3 starters in this draft after not having one start more than 3 games last season? 

I would say they need to do it for me to belive it. Expecting Erving or Elf to start again is a very bad start to the process.

I definitely agree with everything you said other than a legit chance of not sucking. No matter how much our line improved we will still suck with Darnold at QB

That would be the best possible outcome.

Nah. The Panthers will shock everyone by finally taking that first round TE at 6. 😆

I still think ,  after observing Rhules 2021 draft,, we can't rule out Long Snappers with our first pick.  Rhule is drooling over these 4. 😆  IF we trade back, we'll never get these guys ..

Cal Adomitis ,Pitt..  

Damon Johnson ,  USC

Erik Dickerson, Arz St

John Taylor, Duke

I said legit starters might give us a chance, not a legit chance. Just a chance. If they can keep darnold from freaking out and if he doesn't lose his security blanket (CMC) then he might be more of what we saw the first few weeks.

I don't want to take that risk, though.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
