Based on moves by the Panthers and Other teams… other teams in the top 5 do too.

The Panthers do want to Draft a QB and I do believe that Pickett is their top choice. This is based on the fact that his name just keeps popping up with the Panthers a lot, also tie ins with Tepper being a big Pitt Booster and Rhule previously trying to get him to Temple makes me believe this is their guy.

The issue is many teams ahead of the Panthers will be looking to Draft a QB early.

The picks in front of and around the Panthers:

1. Jags - not looking for a QB

2. Detroit - Not looking for a QB?

3. Houston Texans - Definitely looking at a QB

4. jets - Not looking for QB

5. Giants - possibly looking for QB

6. Panthers - definitely looking for QB

7. Giants (from trade) - possible QB

8. Atlanta - Definitely looking for QB.

So the Texans I’d say are definitely gonna Draft a QB at this point. The wild Card is the Giants at 5. I could see them moving on from Jones at this point and I could also see them trading with Atlanta if they’re not.

This is a contingency that the Panthers have to account for… so with that said I believe the Panthers are going to have a trade in place on the day of the first round of the draft to trade for a QB if one we like doesn’t fall to us at 6. 

imo there are only 2 QB’s worth a top 10 pick in the draft. Outside of that we’d be reaching terribly.

Texans are probably taking the top QB in 2023. They already have their QBs for this season and Lovie is their tank-mander.

Lions likely don't see a QB worth taking at #2 and can take a flyer in the late 1st as they have pick #32 and pick #33 that they can package if someone they like falls.

The Panther most likely take the top QB on their board at #6 with a fallback of taking an elite OT. The biggest risk is a team (such as Atlanta, Seattle, or New Orleans) trading in front of us if they really like someone they think we are gonna take.

I am not sure I would say "risk." The more QB's come off the board ahead of us, the better the chance other teams will keep us from doing something very stupid(taking any of these QB's at 6).

I would love the Oregon pass rusher to fall to us. I’d just butcher his name if I tried 

Thibodeaux?

Yeah, he would be great. Would rather have Neal/Ekwonu if they are available but I would not be upset at all about having another potentially elite pass rusher. I'd take the Michigan kid too.

I don't think the Texans are looking QB at all.  Davis Mills actually played really well last year for a rookie on a very bad team.  Arguably the second best rookie QB in the NFL last year.

Ditto the Giants. Management has repeatedly said they want to give Daniel Jones a chance to succeed. Of course, this could change as we get closer to the draft but that’s the word for now.

None of the QBs in this draft are worthy of a 1st round pick

Facts and I don't believe in reaching for a player based on need. We are sitting at 6 with so many talented options available. Take the best player. Don't reach for position of need.

Eh I think the only team defiantly looking for a QB at this point is Carolina and Atlanta. Jags don't, Lions might take one with the 32nd pick (a la Desmond Ridder) but even then I doubt it, Goff would be better than what they can draft now.  Texans seems to like Davis Mills, Jets have Wilson, and I think the Giants are going to give Jones one more chance with Daboll as a play caller. Only other team that I think might be interested in Pickett would be the Commanders, but they just gave up 3rd round picks to get Wentz, and I do believe they are trying to compete. I doubt Atlanta wants him because they got their eyes set on Wills (Atl guy), or I could see the Seahawks trade up and draft Willis (similar skill set of Wilson).

      TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."

      DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
