Devin White... Micah Parsons

I'll begrudgingly admit that MLB is not as valued in today's NFL as it was in yesteryear. So Parsons at 8 is not the choice I would make. But the discussion of who to pick at 8 if all the top QBs are gone is valid. That could mean all 4 of the top 4 are gone or Panthers staff has determined that they do not like whatever QB is left at 8. It's easy to say trade back but you have to have a trade partner and get good value for that trade. Failing that we could go the Vikings route and just not make a pick. Not really a fan of that strategy. Somebody will be the pick. So if top 3 QBs are gone, 4th QB is unacceptable, Sewell, Chase, top CB (Farley/Surtain) and Paye are gone and no one is interested in trading... Parsons? Pitts? Farley/Surtain leftover? Smith or Waddle?

We are lucky enough to have enough needs that taking a player that can help us shouldn't be too awful hard. However, if the top people on our board are gone(Tier 1, let's say) I would rather trade down and gain additional picks. We certainly need some cheap bodies to fill out our roster.

All I was doing was saying if we don't get the QB we want, and I know Sewell won't be there, is Parsons enough of an impact player to take. On the CBS Sports draft board, he's like 3 or 4th highest rank in total. I was going by BPA and I like what White did for TB taking over the game towards the end. 8 is not too high as he's ranked that high. I do think CB is just as important so I see CB or maybe OT but if possible, trading down a few spots if our guy (who ever that is) is not available.

at 8 he is certainly talented enough to draft. the thing is, no one player besides a QB, that is if you do not have your QB, is elevating a team that is not a contender to a contender. if you have a QB then a you could be a piece or two away. that piece could be a MLB. it could be a LT. we dont have a QB so truly it doesnt matter what we take, we have no shot. 

the smart move at 8, if we dont draft a QB, is to trade back and acquire more picks to draft more talented players. that way, when we do find our QB, we have a more talented roster.
