Bet they draft Pickett

Could happen he is the most ready “supposedly”.  I hope they hire or speak to expert QB scouts and make the right call.  Even if it is NO QB

If they draft someone need to be sure he is better than Darnold.  lol

I think they will go with BC at LT and might give Brown, Elflein, and Jordan a shot at LG....if we do not take a QB, we will trade back.

To your point, there was a tweet that said the Panthers are not interested in Baker Mayfield (because the head coach and QB can't both have immaturity issues).  Seriously, it could mean that they are not interested in the free agency market. 
I still see us dealing for Minshew--(what I wanted them to do last year, when he was cheaper).

No. The plan is to not have to force a pick for a specific position. This gives Carolina the full panoply of options. I still believe they would like to trade down if the right deal is there, but this opens them up to take a pass rusher, a tackle, a quarterback, or yes, a cornerback depending on the value.

Bozeman also has a ton of LG experience, so it's possible too they go BC - Bozeman - Elflein - Corbett - Moton with Erving as a swing guy. Which, really, is a pretty nice OL. Gives you the option of drafting a LT, kicking Bozeman and BC inside one spot, and moving Elflein to your interior OL swing.

No upside to drafting a QB just to draft one. If they are not convinced that he is "the one', then don't do it. Much rather they choose a younger guy with NFL experience and some upside. There is a couple on the market who fit that bill. He doesn't have to be a barn burner, a Jake D. type can get the job done.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
