5. Carolina Panthers

  • Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State

The Panthers gave Teddy Bridgewater a three-year deal but they can get out of the contract rather easily after 2021 if he disappoints as their veteran replacement for Cam Newton. Should they finish worse in 2020 under Matt Rhule and Joe Brady with Bridgewater, it would imply they must upgrade in a younger direction at the positon. Fields is hard to ignore as a dynamic dual threat at 6-3, 233 pounds. He confidently put up prolific all-around numbers during his first season with Ryan Day in Columbus.

5. Carolina Panthers: Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State

Carolina went all defense—literally, all seven picks—in Matt Rhule’s first draft. In free agency, the Panthers reunited Teddy Bridgewater with offensive coordinator Joe Brady, both of whom were with the Saints in 2018. That signing should ease the challenge of implementing a new offensive scheme in such an unusual offseason. If an elite talent like Fields is available here, however, I doubt they pass on the opportunity to upgrade after giving Bridgewater a three-year deal. In his first season with the Buckeyes, Fields posted a 41-to-3 TD-to-INT ratio and added 10 rushing scores.

Round 1 - Pick 5

Fields transferred from Georgia and didn't miss a beat following Dwayne Haskins at Ohio State. He heads into 2020 as one of the best prospects in the country and would make sense for the Panthers, even with Teddy Bridgewater on the roster through 2022.

One love for Trey Lance.

4. Carolina Panthers — QB Trey Lance, North Dakota State

Clemson's Trevor Lawrence gets all the preseason hype as far as quarterbacks go, but don't sleep on North Dakota State's Trey Lance. 

The 6'3", 224-pound redshirt freshman threw for 28 touchdowns against zero interceptions with a 66.9 completion percentage in 2019 and then rushed for 1,100 yards and 14 touchdowns to add to his impressive breakout season.

The Panthers are committed to Teddy Bridgewater for 2020, but the future is wide-open. If a dynamic, athletic passer like Lance enters the 2021 draft as a redshirt sophomore, there will be considerable excitement among NFL franchises.

Maybe he could be the answer. Just speaking statistics ...I can’t remember anyone one since I’ve been alive that was a productive QB In the NFL from Ohio state. 
 

Could be wrong , just going on memory here but I can’t think of anyone . 

The list is ugly. We’ll just say that Fields was initially a Bulldog from UGA

Trevor Lawrence or bust

Keep wishing. Jaguars are the favorite to land him. Plus, they have two 1st rounders next year. Ammunition to move up for him. Be happy if we could get Field or Lance.

Ammunition isn’t going to matter. Assuming he’s healthy (knock on wood, don’t want to jinx him), he’s the first pick and no one will trade out of the top spot. If you want Lawrence you need to already have the pick. Unless it’s a freak occurrence like Mahomes signs his extension and gets hurt and they go 1-15, I can’t fathom a team with an older QB or a younger QB that wouldn’t keep Lawrence. Washington keep Haskins, Jax keep Minshew, us keep Teddy, Detroit, Giants, Colts? Heck, I’d move on from Mayfield and others.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
