Will the Panthers draft a quarterback?

[Mr. Scot]

In the high rounds, the answer is obviously not.

But if you look at the players who were brought in for pre-draft workouts, there were more QBs on the list than you might normally expect. That would make me think that the team might be looking at backup / emergency / tryout / long-term project options.

So do you foresee the Panthers actually using a lower round pic on a QB prospect?

If so, do you have anyone in particular you'd like to see them get?

And final question: Do you see any possibility of current backup Derek Anderson's job being in jeopardy?

Haven't you already made a thread on this topic?

Don't think DG will be drafting a qb this year, unless he sees someone who has the talent to also play wide-out...

Don't remember.

If so, I'm sure plenty of old jokes will be thrown my way :(

(I'll blame it on boredom and my life being hectic these days)

Probably not, but I could see them bringing in a guy as an UDFA to compete for the 3rd QB. Too many needs to waste a valuable draft pick on someone who will not see the field at all.

my shameless plug for the REAL USC... the U of SouCar! Connor Shaw reminded me of Cam Newton saturday after saturday. if the Panthers decide to draft a QB, i hope its him. though honestly i would rather the Panthers sign him as a UDFA.

I'd actually like to see Boyd land here.

There was this kid from App State, I recall... :unsure:

Good topic Mr. Scot. I have also noticed the in-house QB visits as well, and have thought about whom we might take later in the draft.  I have 5-6 viable candidates. 

 

5th-6th Round - Aaron Murray and Logan Thomas

Logan Thomas is a poor man's Cam Newton.  He's built the same physically, ay 6'6" 250lbs, with immense potential, but he's very very raw.

Aaron Murray could be a steal.. reminds me of Russell Wilson a bit.

 

7th Round-UFA -

Garret Gilbert - he was the top QB high school recruit in the nation 4 years ago, and committed to Texas before transferring to Ole Miss.  High potential.

Connor Shaw - USC

Taj Boyd - Clemson

Stephen Morris - Miami

 

I like most of these guys because they have some mobility, winners in college, and great stats.  A few of these guys have small measurable's which could be hurting their stock.

 

I have to think one of these men listed will be in camp with us this year.

[Mr. Scot]

You don't think Aaron Murray might go higher than that?

[Ruff]

I think Garrett Gilbert is the guy I would focus on if I was going to draft a QB. Sure, he ran simple spread offense at SMU, but the dude looks like he could develop into a star at some point. I'm sure he'd also be available in the 6th or 7th and is more akin to Cam than Derek Anderson is.

Actually I like most of the quarterbacks you list here, especially Aaron, Connor and Gilbert if we could get them in the 7th round or undrafted.
