I would still pick it up, regardless of whether we take Fields or not.  It sounds like we're making Darnold the starter regardless to start the season, and if we can rehabilitate his value and move him for close to the value we traded for him, I would prefer that.

If we take a QB at #8, I'd expect an open competition in camp.

This is all part of the QB smokescreen. 

Tells the league "see? we are thinking about 5th year options but we didn't pick up Darnold's.  That's because we are gonna draft another QB"

Better hope it’s not Mac Jones, I really think 49ers are going Lance.

I could see a team giving up multiple 1sts to us if Fields falls. Its good to be in position to know we have at least as good QB as last year.

Where on earth did we get another QB?  I thought all we had was Darnold, PJ and Grier . . . 

Oh, you meant Darnold?  He has not proven to anyone that's he's an upgrade over TB5.  He ranked 36th among starting QB's last year.  Seven spots lower than TB5 in 29th.

Now we just need to extend him before he becomes even more expensive. 

Honestly needs to be done before the start of the season.

he has quietly put up elite #s (look at his number through the 1st 3 seasons compared to all the top tier WRs in this league’s 1st 3).  And he has done this with Teddy, Kyle Allen, and Cam with a bum Shoulder.

    • Absolutely. He just turned 27 a few days ago, so quite young. He and Moehrig would be quite the pairing.  I know we say this every year, but this FA period has A LOT of talent that will be switching uniforms. We were aggressive last year and have no doubt this time next week will have some studs on defense.   
    • DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.
    • I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.
