1. Ridder 2. Howell 3. Pickett 4. Strong 5. Zappe 6. Willis

All around underwhelming and disappointing. No one commanded a round 1 pick. Late 2nd round value as a project at best for this bunch. Top 50 picks are for players you believe will make an impact in year 1.

ASU RB Rachaad White looked good

QBs never gave the receivers a chance to shine even when they got open.

The Darnold move was more of Rhule banking on himself, thinking he was the smartest coach in the league. No one else was that interested for a reason and we were basically bidding against ourselves. The his arrogance jumps to a $18.5 million extension because he was so confident he could “fix” a QB the league had already given up on… If McAdoo really liked Allen and Mahomes the best in their class, he is liking the higher risk/reward QBs. If he is having any influence and we are looking at QBs, Willis probably has his attention. Rhule might be still thinking he can fix Darnold…

If we take a quarterback (and I'm in the "hope we don't but think we will" crowd) I know both Rhule and Fitterer are high on Pickett, so I'd be surprised if he's not the guy.

Willis being a project doesn't really benefit Rhule all that much in the "save my ass" quest.

I was really interested in seeing him and agree. Dissapointed.

Same. Really wanted to see him against better competition... well, I did. Not good.

Great touch passer. But he doesn't have a fast ball and his range is about 40 yards max. That just doesn't get it done at the NFL level. He's basically a very poor man's Teddy. I need some convincing at this point to think he can even be backup caliber

Zappe put up video game numbers in college but he got exposed today as simply not an NFL QB. He doesn't have an NFL arm. I mean, not even close. I thought he was an intriguing mid-round pick prior to today. I honestly wouldn't draft him after today. I don't think he's a draftable prosect.

I would take him in the 4th-5th. He is a very good #2 QB.

But, not for a team like us.

After today, honestly I wouldn't. I don't think he's draftable. Wide open passes to mid-range targets. That's where he excels. Those are rare in the NFL, particularly when the defense knows you can't beat them deep.

But is he worst than PJ Walker? 

If that is the line, I think he makes sense for us.

Outside of that, absolutely makes zero sense.

Fair. At least there is some potential upside with Zappe but the cost depends on the round. 

What's the upside? I could see more upside with a prospect dripping with physical talent who was raw as hell. At least there would be upside. I just think Zappe is probably as good as he's ever going to get because I don't think there's any addition physical ceiling there to strive for.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
