"King cited a source from a QB-needy NFL team who said Lance's lack of recent play -- he's played one game in the past 414 days -- makes him an iffy selection as a top-10 pick."

 

I swear, if we take Mac Jones in the top 10.  Ill be done with Tepper, Rhule, and Fitterer.

I doubt we stay put if this is the case. If we want Lance, sounds like we could trade back.

[LinvilleGorge]

I hope so. Well, let me clarify that statement - I hope someone other than the Panthers takes Jones over Lance.

Smells like an Atlanta move

Like I have said since day 1.  Lance will be there at 8 the question is will the panther still be there.

That would be excellent!

[pantherclaw]

Would be a risk. 

I assume any QB the Panthers pick, they will have exhausted themselves with scouting him, that they are just picking because of a whim. 

I find it amazing that fans feel otherwise.  

[Shocker]

Yeah this will probably happen...too many unknowns with Lance.  Question is will he go before Fields as well?

I think both would be mistakes personally.

This is great pending we aren’t the team he is referencing 

I do think Mac Jones could see the field and be ready for legit NFL reps before Lance is ready

I think Jones is the safer pick in that respect.  His ceiling is lower, his floor may be higher, and his timeline to be ready to go in the NFL is probably shorter.  That is not to say he is the right pick, but safer for somebody looking to go that route. 

I've heard his name mentioned with New England a lot.  That might surprise Peter King unless the Pats trade up.

I believe it's prudent to wait until just before the draft get emotional about selection speculation.

Jones in ATL makes perfect sense. They even look alike.

Right?!

Not to mention their recent trend of picking unexpected players in R1 in recent years. 

My only concern is Arthur Smith actually knows what he's doing so we can hope!

This Mac Jones hype has got to stop...he's not better than Hurts, or Tua -- please stop.
