New PFF Mock (Interesting Panthers Pick, new QB in top-15)

They have us at 5 which I think may be our highest possible spot (maybe 3 or 4):

5. CAROLINA PANTHERS — LB MICAH PARSONS, PENN STATE

The Panthers could use talent at pretty much any level of their defense, and you won’t find a more talented linebacker than Parsons. He’s as complete a linebacker prospect as we’ve ever graded at the college level.

Another notable change, a new QB name in the top-15:

Quote

15. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS — QB KYLE TRASK, FLORIDA

If the Raiders miss the playoffs for the third straight season under head coach Jon Gruden, you can bet all options will be on the table at the quarterback position. Trask seems like just the type of pocket passer Gruden craves, and if he plays as he did in Week 1 for the rest of the season, the Raiders will have to trade up for him. He had four big-time throws in a superb 416-yard passing day against Ole Miss.

Now I put my name behind this Florida kid the other day.  He may be a flavor of the week but I like everything I read.  Overall, I think there are 3-4 non-Fields/Lance QBs to track this season as their progression/growth could put them in our favor/shine a new light.  I think these guys have legit starting QB potential.  Especially considering who is currently starting around the league.  Don't forget how Burrow and others have seemed to go from typical SEC Joey High School QB to legit NFL talent in a year's time.

Names (They could legit rocket into R1 by year's end):

Kyle Trask, Florida, 6'5 240

I think Dan Mullen is a fine coach that grooms QBs quite well.  This is a different Florida than in years past with Meyer, etc.

What he needs to work on: Mechanics, using his arm strength, leading receivers a bit more.  Has a lot of intangibles and the size+arm strength is there, it's about utilization and efficiency.  Think a tad slower Josh Allen. 

Sam Ehlinger, Texas, 6'3 230

Hot name of the week for leading a furious comeback but for a reason.  His biggest hurdle is controlling his intermediate accuracy but he is a scrappy, leader, playmaker.  He makes up for his average arm strength being very smart at anticipation.  If he can get his accuracy under control, could be a legitimate starting QB.  

Tanner Morgan 6'2 216

Decent size, a winner, mobility, good zip on his intermediate throws.  His release is lightning quick, and I mean lightning quick.  Efficiency and accuracy has improved but he tends to get a bit gunslinger-ish.  The pedigree, ideal size, and schools the other top-QBs are coming from sets him back and he's had both Bateman and Tyler Johnson as his receivers, but I see something really interesting in Morgan.   Depending on resuming play, I could see a monster year really bringing his stock up.  Could return next year but if he has a good enough season should probably capitalize and opt for the big leagues.

KJ Costello, 6'5 222 Miss State

I threw him on because of his first week.  Being in a Leach offense, his stat lines will definitely be magnifying his hype.  Not sold, but another one to watch.

I think he's more of a 2nd-4th rounder.

Not putting much stock in Jamie Newman or Kellen Mond (especially).  Very meh for me, far behind in development as NFL passers.

I would bet dollars to donuts that TL says hell to the no to the Jets especially if Gase is still there.  I would bet anything.

Let's say the NYG end up #1 with Barkley out.  What is Daniel Jones realistically worth if they go Lawrence? Same with Darnold.  Is he a decent QB getting broken by Gase and a terrible team?

Not saying for us to trade for but in general.  If Jones continues to show regression, with a Gettleman assembled offense (Lol at their receivers, eerily similar), DG is gone, Jones is traded, Trevor is a NYG.

I havent seen much of Jones.  Seems like a good athletic kid in a bad situation.  From the little I have seen he looks like a deer in the head lights and holds the ball way too much and makes some crazy throws when under pressure.  I would much rather take a flyer on Darnold if thats the route we go, which I hope it isnt.  Darnold has talent but has been surrounded by idiot coaches.

I wish someone could explain to me what Daniel Jones ever did to deserve to be drafted where he was.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
