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.

    • I would take the giants roster over Panthers. Lawrence, 3 OLB/DEs, Thomas, and nabers. Lawrence is better than dbrown and Thomas is better than icky. Panthers don't have one edge that would start over those 3 not matter how people feel about burns. Id believe....I think I would take nabers over the whole WR group....Id need to think about, but I feel it is right or 50/50..... Now after the top 10, Panthers may have claim. Im just not that big of a NFL fan like past time to make a good case. I'd just take giants on their top talent.    I will say this, if BY carries this team to the playoffs, he alone would flip this. 
    • Looks like he ran out of real estate.  He had 5 total TDs. As good as we have ever seen in Carolina? Looks like he is the only QB in our history with 3 passing and 2 rushing TDs and he tied a single game record of 5 TDs in one game with Cam and Beurlein.  Throw in his 73.4% completions and zero turnovers, literally the ONLY thing you could argue against statistically is total yardage which was only 275.  You may not agree with that statement (not 100% sure I do), but it's really not THAT wild...
    • I have for too long lacked giving good posting beers, fire, etc.  Good post, its beyond prove it time and until then 30s is where they belong.
