From what I understand, he knows the game inside and out, loves the game, loves being in the building, but doesn't have the necessary tools to be a top flight QB in the league from a physical standpoint.

Maybe a Tom Brady type prospect that goes much higher than the 6th obviously?

Again, just from what I'm gathering...I could be totally wrong.

This.  To me, his arm strength is his biggest issue.  Watching him this year, it seems comparable to Kyle Allen's.  So, in a clean pocket where he can set his feet and maintain technique, he can be very good.  But when the pocket breaks down, he doesn't have the strength to make a play with his arm alone if he can't get set.

But he does have a very high football IQ.

Would a good comparison be a smaller Alex Smith?

Smart, doesn't make mistakes but physical limitations prevent him from being top tier QB with potential to be very good?

Don't even think that he has a Smith arm coming out to be honest.

I wouldn’t want to go WR until at least the 4th round..WR Antonio Gandy Golden from Liberty would be a nice mid-late round pickup. I would we focus on both sides of the line this draft with first couple picks. My preference would be:

1) DT

2) OG/C

3) NT/DT

4) WR

What does your friend think of the OT from Louisville? 

Curious to what he thinks of Wirfs (one of my favorite OTs)

 

His guy seemed pretty high and keyed on Daniel Jones.  Which after the draft it seemed the Giants were about on the same level as his guy (cough cough, dont know if his guy is with the Giants)

 

I saw the other day the Giants (Scouts and Gettleman) are super high on Wirfs and have read "sources" say the Giants may even consider him at 4

Thoughts on Fromm? I personally like him over Herbert but I've been very very wrong before. 

I like Fromm, but he certainly doesn't have the ceiling the guys I mentioned do. He could go early in the 2nd though if someone liked him enough.

We need an opinion on Herbert...what up Verge?

I love Herbert, I think he is right there with Tua and Burrow. His offensive scheme held him back, I don't mind an introverted QB at all, it's a none issue.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
