Mac Jones will probably go to one of the teams that were on the cusp of making the playoffs (Vikings) or lost in the wildcard (WFT) and he will have immediate success. Not flashy but very consistent, good decision making and reading defenses.

Also, I feel confident that Fields, Lance, and Jones will be there at 8. No need to trade up. 

I think one of the lasting problems that Brady has caused, besides winning 6 SuperBowls, is that it's made teams / fans overrate College QBs.

He's literally the outlier - an unathletic pocket passer with a mediocre NFL arm. 

Mac Jones might be sensational in the NFL, but based off his physical limitations (and being surrounded by the Monstars) I'm taking him in the later rounds (not the 6th round, unfortunately) and letting him compete as my 2nd / 3rd QB. I'd feel incredibly uncomfortable taking him in the first two rounds.

He looked good last night and this year was on one great team but how much of it was him and how much of it was those around him making him look so good? 

Will he not have even better talent around him in the NFL?

Relative talent, no. His OL, WRs and RBs are well above the average teams he faced. Even against OSU, Smith looked head and shoulders above their DBs and it was pretty rare when they got true pressure on him. When they did have any pressure, Harris was left alone.

      Off Season Thread

      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.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      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.
