Just now, Mr. Scot said:

I read the rationale. He based the pick on the notion that we picked up a veteran quarterback.

Still don't know about that pick at that spot 😕

Even so I can't see this happening. Where is this kid going to play? we going to release Moton? seems like wasting draft capital to me. If we dont go Qb i would think Edge or TE maybe even linebacker before tackle.

Adding tackle depth with a first round pick is fugging ridiculous, even if you disregard all of our other more intense needs. I knew most of these mock drafters don't pay attention to the Panthers or have a firm understanding of team needs outside of the glaringly obvious, but this is just taking the piss.

If we weren't in need of a QB so badly, I would have a hard time being sold on many, if not all of these guys.  This is the thinnest top tier I've seen in forever. 

It's Anderson, Carter, Stroud, Young....and a cliff 

Murphy, Wilson, the OTs & CB classes don't do much for me at all.  

 I'm digging the potential of many late-1st type talent and think that group has a large chunk that extends far into day 2, but there's just no top talent.

Actually, Daniel Jeremiah has a lot of close ties to North Carolina, and went to Appalachian State, so he's usually one of the better when it comes to assessing things for the Panthers. This time, though, I was like "he's crazy."

Then I looked at what Taylor Moton is going to be costing us over the next three seasons. We need him for 2023 (and cutting him would not in any way improve our cap) but in 2024 and 2025 we'd save $10.7 million and $17.5 million by cutting him and letting someone else pick up the tag. And Moton, while still good, hasn't been great and those salaries he's scheduled for really demand greatness. 

A starting tackle on the first round salary schedule for four years and with a fifth year extension looks really attractive from a dollars and cents sense. Bookending it with another first rounder (Icky) on the same line looks really genius both in cost and impact.

Still, I'd rather see a DE or TE in that spot for us.

I really like DJ, but this mock ain't it. He is one of the most knowledgeable and informed analysts out there, especially when it comes to us.  He's always been fair too.  But this makes no sense regardless of FA.  

We definitely would go Edge/TE/WR if not QB, imo.

      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.
