Is drafting a QB the plan now?

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

Willing to bet they trade back if Neal and Ekwonu are gone at 6. It really all depends on what QB that McAdoo likes the most.

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).

After 2 trade downs I hope

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.

Why does everyone keep saying make BC a guard. He looked horrible there last year and it's not his natural position. Keep him as a swing tackle, draft a LT, move Brown to LG or get a decent vet.

Gotta go BPA at 6. That won’t be a QB!

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.

Effelin starting is not an ideal situation to me. I'd rather have Cam Erving starting at G. Eff gets Effing pushed back a lot! 

[L-TownCat]

As long as it’s not at 6, fine.

Elflein was a backup before he got here....he needs to be a backup  while he is here.

Carson Strong is this years Mac Jones. Somebody is going to get the best QB nobody (the hype system, sports agent) was talking about drafting high but should have.

He has been a starter in every game he's ever played in the NFL, but go off.
