I know at least one person who has Levis as their QB1. That was pretty far from my deduction but to each their own.

I am a huge Jones fan personally but I don't see this happening lol. Both Tepper and Reich are tired of retreads.

It's that time of the year again! I will keep everything in this thread for ease of everyone. I have been doing a lot of work on the draft and have done a lot of film study. I still have contact with my guy but it has been limited of late as I am busier and busier with life, but thanks so much for your patience! I will drop tidbits I hear about free agency, and the draft here when I can. Last years QB rankings: 1. Malik Willis 2. Matt Corral 3. Kenny Pickett 4. Desmond Ridder 5. Sam Howell This years QB rankings: 1. Bryce Young 2. Anthony Richardson 3. CJ Stroud 4. Will Levis 5. Hendon Hooker From what I have heard so far that I have said as much on my twitter account and many people of echoed without my voice is that Carolina is keen on moving up to find a quarterback. #3 seems like the most likely landing spot, but you cannot count #1. It will obviously be tough to move Chicago down that far as they still want an elite player at the position, and moving down with the Colts would allow them to have their pick of Tyree Wilson, Will Anderson, or whoever else they may want. Please feel free to drop any questions you may have here! I will try my best to get to them, and I appreciate the support!

Absolutely. The number of "tank for Sam Howells" lives in my mind a lot lol

Admittedly, I have not been posting here as much. Part of the reason was feedback I was getting, it takes a mental toll to come here and post info you get or opinions you land on and deal with all the blowback from people who could give a poo about you. Mainly though I have been working for USA Today full time and during draft season I am particularly busy because I built their entire scouting platform. I watch hours and hours of tapes on guys and type of reports on them and then condense it for public consumption. I also still have my child in the hospital so my time to do things online is limited.

You cannot sit on your hands at the position anymore, move up and get one of the three guys we know they like. You might get lucky like you did with Ekwonu and your favorite falls into your hands. Need to find the answer sooner rather than later.

The opinions on next years QBs are a lot more varied than this year honestly. Like yes, Williams is a consensus top guy, but outside of that there is a variation of grades on everyone else. You are on the mark with point one.

A mock with zero trades that I was asked to make interesting. I feel like Carolina will be moving up for a quarterback in this draft, just like everyone else does.

Let me know when you find out who it was!

I doubt Carr would except anything less than a multi-year deal as the guy for the next five or so years.

Burrow and Josh Allen were definitely viewed as elite prospects.

Just have to outbid the Colts.

They are very very different players

Yeah of course! I start all the draft wire stuff next month so I will be sure to also send it your way.

This class is absolutely loaded with edge talent

Good question. Could be Darnold, Carr, Lance, Brady, Jackson, etc. The market is open so it could go a number of directions.

I am proud to say I am the only analyst to not hand the Panthers a quarterback at 9. https://draftwire.usatoday.com/lists/2023-nfl-mock-draft-playoffs-bryce-young-cj-stroud-will-levis-anthony-richardson/?taid=63cc1b75f6f20a00018587fe&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

Technically we use facebook messenger

qbs are sort of important

I think it is way too early to know what this team wants to do given their is no head coach in place. I don't agree that they don't like this batch of quarterbacks.

way too early

I wrote an article evaluating just that! I thought you all would enjoy so I am dropping it here. As usual thank you so much for your support! Happy New Years https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2022/12/31/panthers-sam-darnold-starter-quarterback-2023/?taid=63b0ea72540f7d000143da26&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

Wilks has certainly been better about scheming and adjustments than Rhule or Rivera I think. I don't know that that is saying much, but there is a clear plan of attack in each game and a willingness to pivot.

He has a history with Mike McCoy who is doing a good job as the QB coach down in Jacksonville. Could be worth a look.

Had the opportunity to write up my thoughts on Wilks and his candidacy for head coach and thought you all would enjoy. https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2022/12/13/panthers-steve-wilks-head-coach-week-14/ As usual thank you all for the support and no I don't get paid for clicks
