Fair enough. I like Fields quite a bit, and Lance's potential is something I value more than Jones' production. But I'll be interested to see how the draft plays out and I'll be excited regardless I think.

Haha. Okay. We are looking at different evaluators I guess. I think Jones will be a massive mistake if we take him at 8, but I'll be happy if I'm proven wrong. Maybe someone trades up and drafts him #3... hope it isn't us.

Most evaluators seem to indicate a strong drop off after that... Mond, Jones, Trask... ehhh.

Definitely true... Teddy was nowhere near the worst QB in the league and far from the worst Panthers QB to play. But we can't compete at a high level with him, and he underperformed for the talent at skill positions around him... And probably most frustrating was he did seem to have the ability to move the offense, just not anything clutch when it mattered...

If we can't trade up and the top 4 QBs are gone... I don't want to reach. But certainly we need something new in our QB room...

Could we watch him playing in NFL games and the preseason instead?

Jesus. Reality is so depressing.

No reasonable person thinks this.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Texans actually trade him now because of his reputation.

Given what is happening, there's no guarantee Watson plays for anyone next season.

Subarus are great cars but they don't win a superbowl... or... race... or wherever this analogy is going.

Man look at that Alabama offense.... that's an insane amount of talent...

If the draft doesn't fall well for us I won't mind Mond as a Panther... just not at 8. I don't even know if I'd personally want him in the 2nd either. Honestly at awful as it is watching Teddy, having a rookie with huge potential sitting behind him for a year would be worth it.

If all those players are gone... why is someone trading with us in the first place? I think there's some good value at CB at 8.

This seems crazy... hope this young man isn't ill or something.

LB rankings are interesting. I like your QB rankings too. Mond seems super inconsistent though. His physical tools seem all there. Edit: can OPs not be edited now?

Hope it's us... When do you plan to release your QB rankings? Who would you take at 3?

Even if neither they nor Miami does, I imagine there's always the risk of someone trading with one (or hell, both) of them to move up and take QBs. Personally hoping we trade up to 3 for Fields.

Well,there are certainly some posters that are demonstrating a startling lack of decency (not an accusation against you. More in reference to the crazy poo in the last thread). I haven't followed Icege's posts closely but I don't think I would personally call Watson a predator just yet. Still a lot to learn. Watson seems likely to have done some inappropriate things, and so I don't want him until at least we know much more about the facts. There are 2 cases filed that are MUCH more concerning than the others... but the very fact the lawyer is lying about police contact and making really weird and false statements about his knowledge of the McNairs makes me want to hold judgment on any one case.

Eesh. The nice thing is we aren't forced in this circumstance to choose between two people accused of rape. I hope somehow Watson comes out of this clear but it seems unlikely he will. I don't want him as QB if what he's accused of is true.

Me too, ugh. I hope they aren't that high on him. I really want Fields so I'm hoping for a trade up to 3. Given the restructuring are you sure Atlanta is going QB?

Trade to 3 and get Fields imo.

right. and I think we heard when there were 7 cases, teams were interested, but wanted to wait until we saw how it played out. I am sure that is even more the case now.

Unless we extend this to somehow the Texans were entrapping him, absolutely none.

Maybe, but all of these allegations are very recent in the grand scheme of things. In the conniving vision of the Texans owners you have, why is it they don't ruin Deshaun *after* he is traded, rather than before? Why tank his value *now*, rather than once they get something back from him? edit: keep in mind that Watson has been maintaining for MONTHS now that he wouldn't play for the Texans. His stance didn't change. Its only once it seems *the team* has started fielding offers, the owner pushes the button to nuke the trade value?
