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:

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2021-nfl-draft-mac-jones-despite-gaudy-statistics-at-alabama-lacks-in-key-areas-as-a-prospect/

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.

      Incredibly proud of this team

      By panthersphan · Posted

      Absolutely … watching from Colorado, man oh man it makes my heart warm knowing how much our Panthers are loved and supported back home these days. This season was a massive step in the right direction after everything since Tepper took over.   But say all you want about Tepper, but let’s be honest , he has turned a corner and has truly embraced the Panthers history and culture more so recently , and we saw it on full display in Charlotte Saturday. I’m truly so damn proud of our Panthers …. Time to buy that DB #95 jersey… love this team and our fans so damn much. Been a fan since Day 1 when I was a kid in Charlotte and to see how far we’ve come and to have faith in where we’re going in the future truly brings a smile to my face.   In a world currently full of despair and pessimism, thank you to the 2025 Carolina Panthers for giving us hope once again. Time to let Dan Morgan cook… KEEP POUNDING 🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙

      It's been one hell of a ride this season. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed football for an entire season. There are still a lot of things that frustrate me about this team, but they somehow made it work and put together something pretty impressive. I'm still worried about us being stuck in mediocrity, but hell, that's a lot better than where we've been.    Also, hats off to the fans! What an impressive showing last night. That was the most wild it's been since the 2015 NFC Championship. The place was absolutely rocking! The fans showed up! This is one of the things that has been missing for so long. Despite the loss, I had a blast last night.
