Panthers met with Hooker per report

[top dawg]

Jeremiah:

Hooker is an ultra productive QB with size, accuracy and athleticism. He operates in the Vols' unique spread attack, where they send their outside wideouts to the extreme edges of the field and force opponents to defend them in space. Hooker has outstanding field vision, makes quick decisions and delivers the ball in a position where his receivers can easily run after the catch. He doesn’t have a powerful arm, but he can make all the necessary throws. He throws a beautiful deep ball. He has the athleticism to extend plays and he’s very effective on designed QB runs. Unfortunately, he suffered an ACL injury late in the season that could jeopardize his rookie campaign. Also, his age (25) is a concern for some teams. Overall, I see Hooker as a quality starting QB and wouldn’t be shocked if he has the best career of any passer in this year's class.

Number 50 of Jeremiah's top 50. Interesting concluding opinion. I wonder if our staff sees it that way.

He wouldn't be a day 1 starter. Best chance he has to start is backup to an injured vet.

Only way I take him is as a backup to a vet I was planning to use the next couple years.

Don't know much about him really so I'll pose the question to someone who may : 

 

Hooker or Corral? I assume Hooker is being looked at as a 2nd-3rd round pick. Not that I am against taking him if they think he can play, just curious.

So here's how I hope this goes down:  Indy trades up to #1 for Young/Stroud and the Texans snags the other.  The Seahawks take Levis.  We won't move up for AR; too risky.  Vegas takes AR.

With all the first round QBs gone we snag Hooker in the 2nd.  I'll be happy with that.

Of the QB's in this draft he seems like the most safe pick. But Stroud/Young/Levis/AR are simply just more talented as QB's.

 

 

Stroud/Young/Levis/AR are simply just more talented as QB's but they not be there if the Panthers hold pat with their # 9 first rd pick.

We're going to meet with all of the top 5 QB prospects lol

Yes we are, but you did not address the thinking of Jeremiah about not being surprised if Hooker ends up with the best career out of all the QBs in this draft.

I don’t want confidence booster I want a franchise QB. 

Prepare for more disappointment if the braintrust here get their wish.

I'm thinking that the prevailing notion here is that Carr is the way to go. For me, that will be a disappointment, but I know that it could be worse.

I like Carr but only at a discount.

I can deal with a discount and shorter term contract in reference to DC, but I'm fairly certain that's wishful thinking.

I thought the knock on him was his field vision.  He cannot process fast enough
