Fields/Gardner or Willis/Horn

The 2021 2022 Hindsight Draft

I went with Fields Gardner because I like Fields better than Willis--only reason

[ForJimmy]

Fields is more developed as a passer with just as much upside. Sauce is a wash with Horn IMO. 

[TheProcess]

Slater and Sauce with a slight trade up from pick 70 (Brady Christensen pick) to draft Davis Mills

[BlueBuck24]

My ideal draft for the Panthers last year was:

Fields at 8

Creed Humphrey in the 2nd

Trey Smith in the 3rd (I apparently way overestimated his draft value)

 

Would’ve been nice to set us up for this year.

Fields/Gardner for sure. If Fields was in this draft class he'd be the slam dunk #1 QB prospect which was a point I made last year around this time - Fields had the make up of a #1 overall draft pick in most draft classes. Last year's QB class was just extremely strong on paper.

I do have to wonder though... just how bad were his interviews, OSU coach feedback, etc? Because him slipping to 9th overall still doesn't make sense to me.

Darnold/Horn/Cross

So another slam dunk losing season?

Fitts had alluded to it. At some point, you have to stop pushing the chips off to the future and start swinging at QB and keep swinging until you get a hit. And as we've found out, cast off vets have by far the lowest batting percentage. The vets we actually want want no part of us.

I thought I remembered him not being great during interviews, but you can't trust anyone during that timeframe in the NFL or media.

I wasn't a big fan of his, but I do like him more than Willis...I probably prefer Pickett or Corral to both though.

I'll be shocked if Pickett doesn't bust hard. The guy just isn't that good.

Absolute ceiling IMO is Kirk Cousins. Floor is David Carr.

[thefuzz]

I think that he will be very scheme dependent, but he could do OK...Kirk is a pretty good example of about where I think he could end up.  I'm not high on any of the QB's this year though, and especially not in the top 10.

During draft time I always look forward to @Soul Rebel insights, but it seems like you are having the same issues others are having with this draft.

Good question- Im no fields fan at all, but for me Sauce(special player) and Fields are clear the choice. 

Im even ready to draft Sauce given the riches at CB, Im that into his game.

To be fair last years draft was vastly superior but in hindsight Fields + Gardner or Stingley is light years ahead of Willis or Pickett and a wash with Horn. That being said Slater was my crush last year so we’d still be in the same boat with no QB.
