I would take Mac Jones at 8 all day long. 

Good thing you have nothing to do with our draft room.

Set aside the thread for a minute, forget about that picture.

The guy has legit questions around his overall talent.  He's played on a team that has not really been challenged all year.  Exactly one game that ended within one score, and that game (Florida) honestly wasn't ever in doubt.  He's played behind a line that has just DOMINATED opponents.  He was sacked 13 times ALL YEAR.  His receivers are SOOOOO open week in and week out that you really don't know anything about his velocity and placement.

The questions Jones has answered are great.  He has very good to exceptional touch on the ball.  Given time, he can go through a read progression.  He can place a deep ball.

The questions Jones hasn't answered are critical.  Can he fit a ball in a tight window?  Can he generate the velocity needed?  Can he make a quick read and get the ball out on time?  Those are NFL traits that are not in evidence.  It's not necessarily his fault that they aren't, his team is just that good.

If he goes in the top 10, he's going based on what his TEAM has done, not what he has done.

I'm not really a Mac Jones fan, but that reminds me of a few years ago when this picture was floating around:

tom-brady-nfl-combinejpg-e3968c20398628c

That guy turned out okay.

Tom didn't have the chisled physique he does now back then but he was insanely competitive and driven. If Mac Jones has the same level of tenacious drive to win as Brady then he's worth a 4th round pick to me.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      Yes. It's fluff time anyways but it's getting a bit ridiculous. I don't believe this mix has ever worked for the Panthers before. Break .500 and then start the hype.

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.
