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:

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.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By strato · Posted

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
