Why are people so convinced Young will stay injured when 45 year old, not fleet of foot Brady is able to survive the rigors of a full season? Sure, Tom is bigger but he also doesn't have the lean muscle mass support Bryce will in his lower twenties. Young isn't a Lamar or Fields who will be running constantly.

You could be very well right.  I just do not want to trade up for a QB that experts have already stated that Young does not have the build to sustain the punishment in the NFL.  If the Panthers draft him then I will root for him, I just hope they have a good plan in place if he misses alot of time due to injury.

Young is too small to be an elite QB in the NFL.  He may give you a few games here and there.  But will be injured alot.  DE's and LB's are alot faster in the NFL than in college.  I think before we get to hype on one college QB we first need to find a coach and coaching staff to see what direction and style of QB they will go after.  Who knows, Corral may wind up being the answer.  We all will have to wait and see.

Cam Newton, Howell in the second or third round

Trade back, pick up at least a 2nd and 3rd.  Draft BPA, hopefully a OT.  Take best available QB in second round, and sign Cam on the second day of the draft to compete with Darnold.   

If a tackle is not taken tonight then they must either have plans for a Vet FA or work with what is on the roster.  I just hope what ever they do end up with a better line than last year.

#1 Penei Sewell,#2 Pitts,#3 trade back and get Slater

3: CB, S, and OT.  Maybe LB

Now lets send a couple of 6th picks to the Vikes for one of their 4th round picks!

I really dont think that Lance or Jones are 1st round QB's, but their are alot of needy teams.  I really hope they do some trading back and strengthen the Oline, defensive backfield, and back up RB and TE.  And pick up a RFA QB.

Lets say we do not draft one of the top 5 QB's (Lawrence, Fields, Wilson, Lance, or Jones) in this years draft, which of the later tier QB's would you draft that would have the best chance to beat out what we currently have on the roster of (Grier, Walker, Stevens)?  

I would sign Smith with the idea he would be a backup/mentor to Darnold.  He has enough left to win us a couple of games if need be.

I would use Fields/Lance as trade down bait, see if anyone wants to give up a fortune for one of the QB's.  I think we will be ok at QB with Darnold.  If they are able to trade Bridgewater I would sign low cost vet to push/backup Darnold.

1 (8) Sewell or Darrisaw.  OT is the clear choice for me, supreme need 

2(39) Stokes or Campbell CB either one of these CB's 

3(73) McGrone ILB or Grant S either player fields a need i would be happy either way 

4(113) McKoy WR very good depth, blocks well could develop into a starter

5(151) Felton RB good returner that adds versatility as a receiving option

6(193) Buechele QB good depth competition.  If he is not drafted, would be a good RFA to pick up

6(222) Farrell TE very good blocker in the running game, and possibly develop into a redzone target.
