Draft this MF at 6

and bring back Cam as some backup mentor role.

use all that Cap space Fitty is claiming on the OL 

you’ll get this fan base to start to come back then next year 

Willis is the only QB I'm interested in this year and if we can fix the OL through FA I wouldn't hate it. 

First priority has to be OL. If we're bound and determined to get a QB in the draft, I'd rather it be him than anyone. But I'd rather concentrate all energies on the OL and get a QB to take us through this year then draft a QB next year from a much better class.

I like the dude, don't like the dude's Game. 

Talked about it in the other thread, he has some amazing highlights but he leaves a lot of meat on the bone throughout each game. Great at backyard football, not as great at structured football and played significantly worse against better competition. 

His game reminds me of Johnny Manziel but not a shithead and apparently a very hard worker. 

Wherever he goes, he should sit for at least a year.

Agreed on all points

That's why the idea of him sitting behind/with Cam for a year isn't a bad one. I mean I wouldn't expect Cam to stay healthy for a whole year, but he could still teach Willis alot.

I think we've done worse than him as far as starters go if we did end up starting him, though.

He's got a lot of potential and he'd be fun to watch. I just think they'll be better options next year, but I wouldn't hate the pick.

Seems like a great kid.  Wish him the best.  And if you wish someone the best....you can't hope lameduck Matt Rhule fugs him up as he desperately tries to cling to his job throwing whatever at the wall week to week and person under the bus.

You definitely aren’t wrong with the concerns.  Agree he needs time, perhaps a lot of time but the upside is there.  If we do pass and he becomes something special that will suck worse than him failing.  You can move on from QBs much easier than the old days when they received ridiculous money up front.

He is very far from a consistent passer which is an incredible red flag.  He has a lot of red flags to be honest, but when you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.

Pickett will be an absolute bust IMO.  Upside isn’t there

Rhule won’t pick a QB that he doesn’t feel can start right away. I worry that he sees Pickett as that guy. Wouldn’t be upset if we traded back and picked up Willis late in the 1st, but we really need to address the OL. Dreading the draft with Rhule calling the shots, tbh. Dude can’t evaluate talent.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
