Is QB the right pick?

It looks that we will more than likely only be Available  to Get the 3rd best Qb even if we loose out and the teams above us win out we would get the 3-4 pick. Bengals isn’t going to draft a QB however it looks like the Jets and Jags will draft a QB.

so do we want to get the 3rd bear qb and possibly over draft or do we get the best player at another position?

 

a lot of time teams will over draft for a QB and end up getting a QB they could have gotten a lot later. Also is the talent drop off at QB going to be worth drafting one at our spot?

yes there have been plenty of times that a lower ranked QB ends up being the best QB of the draft. So it’s very possible the first 2 QBs are bust and we end up getting the best one.

 

then there is also the chance that the teams in front of us don’t draft a QB and we end up getting the top QB. I don’t think that’s likely but with all the holes the Jets and Jax are it is technically possible but highly unlikely.

 

so what do you think? What would you prefer?

Depending on who you ask, there are somewhere between three and five QB's this year who are very similar in terms of projecting as an NFL starter.  "Our" third best QB may be someone elses first, so maybe we get our #2 guy by picking the third QB this year.

Yes, we need a QB.  There is nothing coming in FA that makes me believe otherwise.

If we're gonna be picking at this current spot...then yes, has to be either Zach or Trey.  Even if somehow all QBs are gone when we pick (unlikely) and Sewell as well, we still have the option of Micah Parsons, or one of the top 2 CBs (Surtain or Caleb Farley)...hell, maybe even Gregory Rousseau.  We're in a good spot regardless of what happens with the first 5 picks.

Assuming where I think we are going to be drafting is where we are picking, the guy that would move me off looking at a QB is Sewell.  He has been labeled as the most ready or the second most NFL-ready player in the draft (those that have him second have him behind Lawrence).  And we need a LT more than just a little bit, too.

I don't think Sewell gets past the Bengals pick, but you never know who is going to trade up or down.  Nor do we know what the Bengals expect from Burrows recovery.  Even if it is bad, I would not expect them to position themselves with another high first round pick at QB, but they could.  And let's face it: they are the Bengals.

What’s the point of fixing the line first when reports are saying that Moton will be gone in return for nothing. 

Doesn't that just increase the need to fix the OL?  The alternative is putting some poor guy back there with no OL and asking him to run for his life.  Been there, done that, the results were decent at the best of times, but the downside was awful, and the ultimate cost was enormous.

He won't be gone, I'm sure the team will use the franchise tag on him if they can't agree on a new deal.

It isn't. Fix the rest of the team first, particularly the lines.

There's no player that plays offensive lineman worthy of a top 10 pick other than Sewell and he's going to the Bengals.  As for the defensive line, the only one worthy of top 10 is Rousseau and he's an EDGE rusher, we need DT...so we're not going to be fixing either line with our top pick.  It's most likely going to be QB/LB/CB.

The top QB's picked are not always the best. 

We could take the 3rd qb off the board and he could have the best career of qb's picked in this draft. We could trade up for trevor or fields and they could be a massive bust. All we can do is trust the panthers to pick the right guy.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo.

      2025 season

      I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
