QB question

Lets say we do not draft one of the top 5 QB's (Lawrence, Fields, Wilson, Lance, or Jones) in this years draft, which of the later tier QB's would you draft that would have the best chance to beat out what we currently have on the roster of (Grier, Walker, Stevens)?

I'd prefer bringing in a veteran QB as the backup to mentor Sam D, and cut the other guys. If we do decide to draft a QB this year as a project or maybe to compete with Sam I would prefer (1) Davis Mills, (2) Kellen Mond. I wouldn't Midn picking up Jamie Newman for a true project to run the practice Squad.

Ideally if we miss the top prospects, we get a vet backup to help our young QB room.  There's so much value after the first round this year in OL and CBs, I don't want us to spend a pick on another project at QB when we just effectively spent next year's 2nd on one.

Davis Mills would be the one I'd be most willing to give a shot. I think we may have interest in Kellen Mond because Rhule recruited him hard at Baylor. Personally I'm not high at all on Mond. Intriguing physical talent, but he's wildly inconsistent and doesn't play to his talent level even when he's "on" IMO.

I would do go for Newman in the 4th-5th but that's about it.

Mond just bugs me.  He is super reminiscent of Kizer. 

Mills, I don't know.  Just don't know much about him but when I looked into his shtick, it seems he just throws a TON of uncatchable balls.

Newman is the one that interests me.  Before he opted out, people were looking at him making a trajectory to a top pick before we really thought of Jones and Wilson so highly.  Lawrence, Fields, & Lance were always in that discussion with Purdy and Newman really being the guys teams  were thinking could make a leap.

Furthermore, that wake offense, ehh doesn't really allow for skills to shine depending on the position.  For Newman, yeah, I'd take a gander.  We could already have Slater-Leathorwood-Samuel Jr. type situation before we even gamble on a QB.  I'm game for it.

Tbh I’d rather draft a late round kicker then wasting another pick on a 2nd or 3rd day project QB. 
 

spend picks on players with an actual shot to contribute. If Sam isn’t the answer, which is a possibility, continue to build out the roster as a whole and trade up for “The Guy”  in 2022 or 2023, once the roster as a whole is more playoff ready, a la the chiefs pre Patty

    • Completion percentage depends on the offense and type of QB.  So no I don't care about a raw comparison lol. If you don't know what I mean by that I don't know what to tell you. As to Baker, this is the second time you've ignored me and claimed I didn't say something when I did. I'm going to just stop r spending to that crap soon but on the possibility you are just missing these things in good faith - "Baker Mayfield is 11th in QBR, 14th in yards despite the TON of injuries that offense has had, 10th in QB rushing yards, 12th in TDs (and above the average in TD% lol), 25th in INTs (league average would be something like 16th). So yes, he's quite a bit ahead of the average in many categories." Rushing yards by a QB DO matter. You'd think Panthers fans would know that.  Some of Bryce's best plays have come when he uses his legs too, and some of that IS yards on the ground. And the reality is that Tampa has had crazy injury issues and if you look at Bakers career he is unquestionably more successful than Bryce and above average at that. This year his top 3 WRs have all missed considerable time and whose best player on offense hasn't played almost all year...
    • Look at the chart. if you are claiming his numbers prove he not  an NFL caliber QB, than neither is Bo Nix, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Michael Penix, CJ Stroud, Baker Mayfield and Mahommes. They are all below average and within 2 points of Youngs' numbers.  
    • Could be worse. Captain Clempsun is sub 60% completion
