Interesting article that could see us potentially trading down to grab Mond in mid-late first round.

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule gave high praise to Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond.

The MVP of the Senior Bowl was coached by Rhule and his staff this week and left a strong impression by throwing for 173 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday’s college All-Star finale.

“We’re talking about a really, really football smart guy here,” Rhule said after the game. “You give him a play and he knows it. He kind of got into a rhythm there in the third quarter, just ripping some seam balls, making some plays. I think he’s got a bright future.”

Mond finished an outstanding 2020 season, leading the 4th-ranked Aggies to a 9-1 record with a 41-27 Orange Bowl victory over No. 13 North Carolina. The San Antonio, Texas native threw for 2,282 yards with 19 touchdowns and three interceptions.

In CBS Sports’ latest Round 1 mock draft, analyst Chris Trapasso has Jones and Mond going in the first 32 picks, but not Trask. We’ve seen plenty of projections for Trask in Round 1, but these are some of the first projections for Jones and Mond in the first round.

 

Rhule said the same thing about Jones 

he also said the same thing about Bridgewater 

he says a lot of things

you cannot fix his level of inconsistency

Therein lies the rub. Sometimes the right coach can find the right technique and you develop the guy into a winner. Most times you don't, though, and you don't even develop a decent back up QB.

Based on what I saw and heard from scouts who were in Mobile, I don’t think the Panthers will be trading back for Mac Jones, Jamie Newman, Kellen Mond or any of the other Senior Bowl quarterbacks. It was an underwhelming week for them — they generally looked more like backups at the next level.

Absolutely ZERO way we take him in the first round no matter how far back we trade.  I would have serious reservations about taking him at 39. Now, trade back again, picking up even more picks and taking him late 2nd round I would be fine with.  Not completely happy, mind you, but not upset either.

This. There’s no scenario where I’d feel comfortable taking Mond in the first and I’d even prefer not to take him in the second.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
