Draft Mac jones

If we see a top QB at #8 we will take it . If there is no top QB at # 8 we trade down a few spots for more picks and still get Mac Jones a little later .  Not playing Jones in the senior bowl maybe because he was dinged up gives us an edge because Rhule watched him in practice and met him up close . If we pick him it will be because Rhule believes in him .

I can see a situation where they stay at 8 and take bpa then go after Newman later in the draft to serve as a project behind Teddy this season.  There are so many ways this could play out that it makes my head spin.

This is a very reasonable take IMO:

Can he be successful in the NFL?  Yes, if he's in the right situation.  But it doesn't look like he has the tools to elevate an offense around him, and to me that means he can't be a "franchise" QB.  Honestly, I don't want to waste time with a QB that can't be that guy, so I'd prefer to avoid Mac Jones even in the 2nd round.  Now if he falls to the 3rd, the value is probably there to roll the dice and hope he can improve on those areas of weakness.

If he has elite pre snap reads, decision making, pocket awareness and accuracy he can be super successful in the NFL as his arm is strong enough.

    • Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet. 
    • Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.     
    • I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
