Since the majority of you were wrong on Baker Mayfield. Would it be dumb to Draft Kyler Murray?

I think we definitely need to consider drafting a QB in this years draft. I wouldn't consider Kyler for two reasons.

1) He's a talented baseball player. I thought he was already signed to a minor league contract by a MLB team, but I could be wrong. If he's not fully committed to the  NFL team it could cause a problem down the road.

2) I don't think Cam is in such bad shape that we need to draft a QB in the 1st or 2nd round THIS OFF SEASON. As talented as Murray is, he won't make it out of the 2nd round. In fact, since he won the 2018 Heisman I can't see him lasting beyond the 1st round. He could possibly go in the top 10.

Does of anyone know of any college QB prospects expected to go in middle rounds of the draft (rounds 3-5) that you think the Panthers should look at for 2019 since we really can't afford to pick a QB earlier than that with all of the holes on our team?

wouldnt mind it in the 7th just to have the guys rights? idk how that works honestly, but I dont see Kyler murray playing in the NFL but rather the MLB, now if they go on to beat bama and win the title, he might have a change of heart when that confetti is raining over him, but for now its safe to say he will be cashing fat checks and hitting dingers in the MLB.

Guy is all in in on baseball. Lock this thread.

No he’s not, he’s said numerous times he’d love to play in the NFL and also that he’d love to play both ala Bo Jackson. 

I think he’d be a great pick, doesn’t have the swagger of Mayfield but is a more accurate passer and more dynamic runner. His height is one obvious red flag but his pinpoint accuracy, quick release and mobility make him an intriguing prospect. Durability is a concern for me. Hate OU will get destroyed Saturday thanks to their middle school grade D.  

If he did decide to pursue football he’d have to pay back what he made with the A’s from last I heard. He actually made more than his coach Lincoln Riley this year.

    • I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that... 
    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
