I have never put anyone on ignore. I grew up believing that everyone has a voice. No matter how stupid it may be.

 

I am stocked and ready to go. I just can't decide when to start. Start too early, and I can sound like any other idiot. Start too late, and I won't have nearly as much fun. 

 

Decisions, decisions.

Start around pick five. That should give you a half hour or so.

Why are we freaking out over Verge saying we are taking Jones if he is there at 8? She said the Niners are gettting him at 3.

Because there’s a chance she’s wrong about the niners and right about the panthers. And in that case, we are drafting mac Jones which the majority of the armchair GMs have determined is not a good quarterback and is a product of the system

They must be sold on Darnold if they are willing to trade down if one of the QBs are there at 8. IMO you have to take the falling QB for security. 

If they're sold on Darnold, why do they need extra security? Instead of taking a QB for security, the team would be better served by taking a player that would help protect him, give him a weapon, or since they are talking up CBs, shore up the secondary.

I wonder how you guys/gals would react to this idea...

 

If the Panthers want to bring in competition, young competition at that, for Sam. Maybe they instead should focus draft capitol on other positions of need in the draft by trading back and maybe grabbing a young QB in the process (Gardner Minshew, Drew Lock) if a QB prospect like Lance were to fall into a teams lap. 

 

Thoughts?

Just FYI that clip was from 2018 but it certainly still applies today. I’m sure he still wants the exact same thing. Why wouldn’t he?

It would make a lot more sense than drafting Mac Jones after failing with Garappolo. But teams make head scratching decisions every year.

I think Minshew ends up in SF

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
