I'm not sure Seattle is more desirable than us right now. They are in clear blow it up rebuild mode and don't even have much draft capital and while Carroll is still around he'll almost certainly be retiring soon. Neither is a good situation but I can see someone like Watson preferring us over Seattle right now.

Seattle is more desirable because they are an organization and head coach that has been to the playoffs 9 out of the last 10 seasons vs Matt Rhule who couldn't even beat a ranked college team

I don’t see how they’re more desirable either. All those picks they just received would be gone. They’d now be exactly where they were with Wilson minus another draft pick most likely.

Seattle is positioning themselves nicely to use their 1st rounder on a QB next season. Also would be able to trade up using Denver’s picks if need be

Now Seattle and Indy need QBs.

 

Both easily more desirable than Matt Rhule's Panthers. 

 

This ain't helping. We need to draft our prospect. 

I only think it hurts our chances at a vet QB (none of which seem like a great idea except Minshew IMO) - neither Seattle nor Indy have a 1st RD pick this year so if anything it takes a little pressure off us to reach and better opens the possibility of trading down.

I don't see why any legit QB would want to come to the Carolina Panthers in 2022.

1) Our offensive line is among the worst in the NFL.

2)Our offensive scheme has been one of the most predictable and unimaginitive in the league for the past two seasons.

3) Our best offensive player can't stay healthy and is rumored to be on the trading block.

4) We have few draft choices so we won't be able to draft all the players we need or move the picks for players.

5) Our receiving core has 1 legit starter at WR, and he's never had more than 4 TD's in a sesason.

6) And, you can make an argument that we have the worst HC in the league. Most of us on this board, and the pundits in the media, all agree that unless we have a miracle season or at least finish .500, Matt Rhule is pretty much a "dead man walking". He has a 50/50 chance of being fired by mid season. Whoever would  come here needs to consider that he'll probably be playing for a new regime in 2023.

Why would any good QB want to come here?

At Seattle has extra picks to begin a rebuild this offseason and DJ Metcalf  lining up at WR.

No, we don't need to draft a QB

Just because we need one, doesn't mean we have to get one this year when they aren't the right QB at the draft position.

Taking a QB now just because we're in need of one, is more likely to set us back another 5 years than help propel us to be contenders.  Make the smart decision with an OT, spend wisely on FA, take our lumps this year, and make a run at a QB next year when we get back our full set of draft picks and possibly have a high pick of our own in the first as well.

Just look at all the teams that have tried to reach for a QB to fix the need when the player really shouldn't have been taken there, it doesn't work out and they're put into the vicious cycle that we're in now, where you try to fill that position every season and reach every time to do it (whether in the draft or through FA/Trade).

Point blank.... we're not contenders this year no matter what QB we get, and there isn't an elite QB option for the 6th pick in the draft.  So don't make a mistake, build the smart way, not the desperate way.

With this year's QB crop, it sure would be nice to have a second round pick.....say, #38.  They could grab a good LT in the first, then a QB in the second. 

I don't expect any of this year's crop to rip up the league for a couple of years, if any wind up doing so.  But our QB depth chart is a vast wasteland.  Even if the guy they wind up drafting is not the answer, there is a spot for him unless he is worse than PJ and Darnold, which might be an accomplishment.

But alas, we don't have a second round pick.  Or a third.  We could possibly get one in a trade down, but that means we have to find a team salivating over somebody enough to part with multiple picks for our #6.

Don't despair, though.  PT Barnum was right.....and probably an optimist.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
