What are we doing in the draft?

I wonder what Verge thinks. I don't think Verge saw this coming at all....And if you see this Verge are we still going QB in the draft?

To @Verge’s credit, she had Darnold on our radar as someone we would want depending how things went.  

sounds like post 49ers trade that got speed up and more expensive.  Sounds like we negotiated the picks for a bit.  

I would like to know if QB is still in play and not off the table come draft like the GM said

I got clarity about Darnold on Saturday. Didn't leave much room for speculation lol

 

I still think we could go QB, but it is much more likely we got get a CB or olineman.

Apparently discussions started at Justin Fields' Pro Day - so this has been 5 days in the making.

I think people are reading too much into the "they didn't like QBs #3 & #4" as opposed to ensuring we had Teddy's replacement already in house in case plans went awry on draft night.  Teddy was not going to be here next season and Darnold was the nail in that coffin.    In 12-24 months Sam might be very well  be getting that same one-way ticket out of Charlotte.  I mean does the staff love Grier and Walker that much?

Word on which one we prefer?

I think we will trade down to be honest.  OL will almost certainly be addressed with our first pick regardless.

If we aren't drafting a QB, honestly trading down and picking up future assets is probably my preference.

I don't want to trade WAY down, but sliding back to say a few spots and getting that '22 2nd rounder back? Yeah, I'd take that.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
