At number 6 the Carolina Panthers select...Charles Cross???

[SmokinwithWilly]

Prototype RG right here. 

ANALytics.

[micnificent28]

No...at 6 it's either Evan Neal or the center from Iowa.... right now everyone else is a reach.

Dude does this every year.  While I'm admittedly a few weeks behind my normal draft routine, he comes in here every year after sticking his toes into the draft process and coming off as Mel Kiper.

Last year's QB class was far from weak, actually one of the better ones in recent memory.  This QB class has question marks all over the place. 

It was?

And you reach...get a bust. Now we're the jets

Reach? Lol. Are you suggesting no QB will have a 1st round grade? Are you suggesting none will pan out?

i don’t care about “busts.” You don’t make draft picks under the weight of crippling fear that it may not pan out. They all might fail.

It’s a huddle tradition

1. it’s a weak QB class, don’t reach, just wait

2. wow these guys are actually good

3. This class isn’t as good as last year’s, repeat step 1

And some have higher probability of failing which is why 1st round its better to take a sure fire LT over a iffy qb

Yes.  If you keep up with the draft process at all, you would know that last year's QB crop had draftnics drooling all over themselves.  Heck, I even wanted one last year. This year not so much.  Just by the law of averages, one of these guys will likely pan out, but determining who based of their college careers is a crap shoot.  There is no Tervor Lawrence-type of guys who had sustained success.  You have one-hit wonders in Pickett/Corral and a guy like Howell that regressed.  Then you have the guy from Liberty who ate bad competition alive, but struggled against the big dogs.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Fine with him at 6, or a small trade down and grab the Iowa C or Icky. 

A lot of this pick comes down to whether we're keeping BC at LT or not.  Feel like I know Rhule's answer, though. 

[Carl Spackler]

lol at y'all who think Rhule will draft anyone worth a damn. He's made 18 picks and he's hit on a single one. I legitimately, with no doubt in my mind, believe the average fan could hit on more than that.

there’s no such thing as a surefire anything, especially at the OT position, but aside from that

who cares 

an OT isn’t changing the future of your franchise, and when you’re picking as high as the panthers are, that’s what you’re in the market for.

Crazy right, TWO OTs mocked before the first QB goes off the board?  I guess I have no clue what I'm talking about, even early on.
