How early would you take a QB?

to sit behind Cam?  He may never see the field this year, and who knows how much while Cam is

on the roster...of course if Cam can't get healthy.....so it's a bit of a conundrum.  

Obviously the top targets will be gone by our first 3rd.  

When would you pull the trigger?

What if Will Grier is available at our first 3rd?  Of if he lasts till our 2nd third?

If you risk him dropping to our 4th and he's gone, now you're looking at Stidham out of Auburn and 

Jackson out of Buffalo who will be rated in the 85 to 110 range on a lot of big boards.  Entirely possible they could both be gone by our 4th, or they could both still be there.

After that, things get pretty dicey.

QB  RYAN FINLEY - NC STATE
152 QB  BRETT RYPIEN - BOISE ST.
166 QB  CLAYTON THORSON - NORTHWESTERN
203 QB  GARDNER MINSHEW - WASHINGTON ST.

(from Fanspeak's composite big board)

Pretty much anybody here could be a bust.

 

I really don't want to use anything above our 4th, and I really hope a good prospect falls to our 5th.

 

What's the earliest you'd pull the trigger if the right prospect is there?

I don't believe we need one in this particular draft. But if we really like someone maybe a 5th or later? There is a lot of talent in the mid rounds of this draft that I'd hate to miss on.

If I knew exactly how Cam's arm will be, I'd be willing to make an exact prediction, but we really don't know anything here.

If his arm is back in shape and ready to go again, I wouldn't spend a pick on a QB right now.

If it's up in the air, might take a 3rd or 4th rounder if someone with promise fell.

If that arm isn't coming back, it's time to drop a surprise 1st rounder on the best one available.

So many things depend on Cam's shoulder recovery right now, even down to what type of linemen and styles of play to pick. Do we shoot for another WR, or do we check down to a TE or RB in the mid rounds? Or do we go defense heavy and hope we can hold on?

Not until day 3, round 5 at the earliest. 

We have way too many holes on this roster to use an early pick on a position of luxury. The fact of the matter is if Cam's hurt we're fuged anyway, a rookie qb isn't going to change that.

Yup.

We are all hoping that everything is A OK with the shoulder...and we likely won't know much until TC...if not a few games into the season.

Words to look out for "pitch count", and "new normal".

Yeah, those two phrases will not bode well for the Panthers this season.

Depends on the player. I’d run to the podium with tears of joy to get Murray at 16 but he’s obviously going 1st. Grier probably not until the 3rd round. Lock in the 2nd hell yeah but he’s probably gone before our first pick anyways. Not a huge fan of many of this year’s QBs.

Honestly I don't think drafting a QB from this class is in our best interest. Allen showed me enough last year to get a chance, and if Cams a no go, this year is over anyways. Draft is to deep at DL not to spend early draft capital there. If we do take a QB I say after round 4, if only to push Allen for competition.

Pretty much this.

That’s what I’m saying...and how do we know anyone we took would be any better than Allen or heinicke...we’d have just as much of a wing and a prayer chance that one of them is a delhomme or romo diamond in the rough than spending a mid/high pick on a jimmy clausen or drew stanton level dink that just makes us feel better about our QB room because more of us recognize their name...fug that. If (knock on wood, heaven forbid, I don’t think it’s going to happen) Cam goes down any length of time or doesn’t return back to form we’ll be drafting top 10 next year in which case I’d rather be picking higher than lower anyways

      Give Legette another season?

      The coaches can't figure out what to do with BY9 much less Leggette

      Give Legette another season?

      By frankw · Posted

      There is a lot of talk about his IQ and his commitment to the game and this and that and no one can firmly say one way or another unless they are with him day to day. Not to mention the standards don't jive with the presented reasoning for defending Bryce Young’s rookie season and subsequent beginning of his sophomore season and third season to where we are now 40+ games as he is finally beginning to string together better QB play. When I think of Legette present day I think back to Ted Ginn being a pretty significant bust with the Dolphins as a 9th overall pick and then coming to Carolina (twice) and still struggling with the same mental errors on the field and Cam Newton going back to him again and again and again and even going to a Super Bowl with him as the #1 WR. Deactivating him is weak. Figure something out to his strengths for the rest of the season and reassess in the offseason.

      No MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.... this season is a WIN in my books

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I think the season has been a success.  I try to look back at what I said would be a successful season before week 1 and we have reached that.  The success though has you wanting more haha.  But we've had improvements and are right there fighting.  Bryce has improved which was a big thing we needed.  Hope we improves more obviously.  But I agree with others about Evero, unless we have an offense putting up 30 points a game I don't like this type of defense he has.  No pressure either.  The biggest issues I see with this team are, zero pressure on the QB, soft zones, and the horrible special teams play on kickoffs/return coverage.  So I wouldn't mind replacing Evero if someone better is available and definitely get someone new running special teams.  When you combine Evero's defense and the fact we allow teams such good field position often it's a bad match.  Overall, we have won 8 games which is crazy.
