"Verge's Draft Day Thread" or some such.

[Raleigh PF]

Thinking of the Patriots and trading up? 

They've done it TWICE in the first round since 2003, with the most recent trade happening in 2012. Neither time did they trade into the top-10.

Don't see it happening tonight, either.

McCorkle and Darnold sound like an Accounting Firm. Our QB room will have some solid financials...

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?

It's really not about brining in competition. It's a belief that one QB in this class, not named Trevor Lawrence, can be a special, elite, franchise altering kind of QB. If he's there, you take him regardless of who else is on the roster. If he's gone, you take the next best player on your board at whatever position that is (OT, CB, etc.)

NFL live talking about the Saints

say they REALLY like a certain QB and keeping an eye on him to fall.  They think it’s Mac Jones

Rodgers just told the Packers he doesn’t want to return

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 said THEY must be sold on Darnold to trade back. I think they are crazy to think Darnold is the answer so IMO they should draft a falling QB (not Mac) if they are there at 8 for security. If they only QB left by 8 is Mac then draft BPA.

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.

look, you can't stop the freakouts.  No one can. 

and Verge might have great intel....but no franchise can actually predict how the draft unfolds.  All it takes is one to change how the board falls.

Facts. I have said this before. Thanks CRA.

Let's get CRAZY!!!!

I wonder if Darnold would like the frozen tundra.

I have not asked anyone about this or confirmed anything (I certainly will) but I think it would be asinine to assume we will not make an offer and push ultra hard for him.

I can’t even keep up and I think that’s the point. Teams don’t want teams knowing what is real or not...
