Speaking at a pre-draft presser, Panthers GM Scott Fitterer revealed that there are "a couple" of quarterbacks he'd feel comfortable with at No. 6 overall.

He's also, if you believe him, heard from a couple of teams about trading up for No. 6. Smokescreen or not, the massive hole under center for the Panthers will continue to guide discourse for the team until it's addressed in a real way. Malik Willis and Kenny Pickett figure to be the quarterbacks under consideration for the team at No. 6, but with how different draft boards are this year between teams, a surprise can't be ruled out. Fitterer later added: "We want to stabilized the quarterback position," and told reporters he sat down with Sam Darnold and told him the team likely would add a quarterback through this weekend.

I kind of read the same but I wonder if he wants to gamble a lil 1st.  I could also see someone Luke the Eagles trying to package both 1st and Minshew to entice Fitt. I'm guessing a lt or Willis if staying at 6. I also think Robby gets trades during the draft. 

I’m doubling down on Mailk or trading back I don’t think we’re taking a LT at 6

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
