I'm not saying I want Jones at #8, but having him over Lance is not nearly as outlandish as some of you are making it.  Jones mechanically is so far ahead of Lance it isn't even funny.  Lance has a higher upside but I'd argue Jones' floor is a lot higher than Lance's.

With Lance, you truly just don't even know what you are getting over a very athletic QB.

This right here ^^^

I love the internet.

What does an ex-NFL QB know about QB play? Nothing, when it doesn't fit with your narrative.

Or maybe go watch some film...they even covered the pro style aspect when Wentz was coming out of that school as well.

Do some homework, just because a former player comments, doesn't mean it's always backed by research. There are plenty of terrible takes from former players in the media.

It is either Lawrence, Wilson (neither which are happening) or fold and try again next year. Jones or Lance @ 8 (or even in the first) would be a dumbass decision.

It is not good to be desperate. Fact of the matter is, Carolina trotting out a QB markedly better than Bridgewater in 2021 is slim to none.

Maybe try to hit on Ehlinger in the 4th or something.

IF we decide not to QB at 8, there will be a lot of perennial all-pro talent sitting on the board. Gonna be a hoot to watch.

Indeed. Really hoping we don't take a QB because to me outside of Lawrence and Wilson, it ain't good.

I agree that anyone other than those 2 at #8 will be a reach, but I hate the idea of rolling with TB again. I feel doubly hurt because I gave him the benefit of the doubt when we signed him and he poo all over me.

They could still trade for somebody like Darnold. Or sign of free agent like Trubisky.

I know those aren't popular options but if the alternative is Bridgewater...

If that's the path and Sewell or Slater is there, that's definitely who I want.

Agree! From a position value, LT is right behind QB. Having a 5th year option on one would be great. Also, Farley and Surtain can't be overlooked. Pride needs more time to develop, and Jackson, I think, is ultimately better suited as nickel due to his size. Drafting a lock down corner and moving him there would be upgrading 2 starters at once.

I'd much rather have Jones over Lance.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      I think the first 3 picks will be defensive players this time. At least that's how the draft is falling this year. I would not be shocked at all if our 1st pick is the number one safety in the draft. It appears he will be right there for the taking.

      Man oh man. That 8-9 record without a playoff berth puts at 13 if I recall, ahead of both Atlanta and TB with their 8-9 records, due to our weaker SOS.   We might have been in range to deal for that guy. I hope he doesn’t last to 8. And I hope some AFC team picks him.

      Cool. I am not wanting to debate or argue it. It is mostly my preferences. But a couple of things:  I just don’t think he sees the middle of the field well. But besides that I would rather spend a 1st round pick at different offensive positions if we went offense, otherwise we have neglected defense something fierce the last few years. Last 1st rounder was Horn. That’s like 5 years ago now.   Investments… gee the last 4 drafts we have used a 2, a 2, a low 1st and a top ten pick on WR. Bryce has been here three years, three of those picks were specifically for him.  And assets, I don’t think you are counting the haul we gave for the QB position. That counts and it was huge.   Add that up and add the Burns cap space we freed up when we traded him. We bought two guards and used the savings on them. Not on the defense.  I mean, that is a lot of investment in the offense when you put all that in a sack and weigh it.    peace. Appreciate your post.
