Didn’t see this earlier. That’s why Norwell went undrafted and we snagged him. Drills were also why lots of us hated Little after the combine. Maybe you can work with that OL but looking bad in drills should make you a much lower round pick/project (Norwell worked out) not someone for whom you trade first round pick value.

My sons and I got Norwell’s autograph in training camp after the SB. I got him over with an “Andrew” call. Seemed stunned that someone would call him by his first name or even knew his first name. I was pretty good at getting them to come over. Greg didn’t, but smiled and waived when I said we enjoyed seeing him at the local pizza place. It was his Friday night home game tradition and he was pretty much left alone. Got TD over telling him his son beat my youngest, who was there, in the flag football championship (true) and he signed his ball and told him to play better next time. Saw him a bunch at basketball. My son made 4 of 5 free throws to ice a game (he was 8 ) right after TD walked into the gym. He was so excited and asked if TD saw him and I was like yeah of course it was the only game and there wasn’t much else going on while you shot the free throws.

Cool story.  My son played HS basketball with David Thompson's son.  Thompson came to one game, and sat near me.  My son scored about 20 points in the second half and had about 14 boards--Thompson's son was terrible that night, but he did not seem to care.  They barely won the game, when my son hit a 25 foot 3 pointer at the buzzer.  Thompson grabbed me behind my neck and shook my head around a bit---he was excited.  When I told my son, he had to Google David Thompson.  He knew that his teammates' dad was a former college and pro player, but nothing else.

A G would be nice too. If we extend Moton we need 1 T and 3 IOL. It would be good if we don’t have LT blindness like Marty did and our interior still sucks. I’d honestly rather go QB, C/G, C/G knowing we are far more likely to solidify the interior and use the 2022 1st on a T if that may be a better class for 1st rounders. I don’t want to reach on a maybe T if there’s a sure thing G. Our best OL recently had Oher at LT and the 2017 OL was decent as well with speed bump because the IOL was solid. Easier to help out a tackle  when the interior is solid and we have a split RT 

Could play Humphrey at G until Paradis is no longer with us. I think if we did not draft a QB at 8 and went:

R1: Slater/Sewell

R2: Humphrey/Davis

R3: Trade for Darnold or draft Newman

We could roll out a Moton-Humphrey-Paradis-Miller-Slater OL and give whoever our QB is a healthy, young and strong OL.

Thats nice 

But this is honestly like when Drew Lock had the best arm out of the 2019 group that included Daniel Jones, Will Grier, and Ryan Finley.

 

Newman is a Good Project, not aure id want to bank my hopes on him

New Panthers quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan seems to be taking at least some of the responsibility of OC coordinator Joe Brady, who is not attending the Senior Bowl due to COVID-related issue. Ryan previously has coached Matt Stafford and Deshaun Watson, both of who should be on Carolina's radar. Alabama's Mac Jones likely is the only QB here on the team's radar.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
