Both Icky and Neal will not be gone if some takes a qb in the top 4, I would almost bet on it.

And if they are, then we would have the opportunity to get Hutchinson or Thibedeaux. I know I butchered his name, but whatever.  We are going to be in the position to draft a real game changer at a position of need regardless of where it is.  Thats the beauty of having a shitty roster!  Holes to be filled everywhere!

Maybe.  Fields fell to 11, Jones to 15, Herbert to 6, Hurts to 53, Josh Allen to 7, Lamar Jackson to 32, Mahomes to 10, Watson to 12, Prescott 135.

Tough to predict.  We need the picks, and I'd put them all on the  shelf together.

You listed 9 QB's in your post. Only three of them were picked after pick #12: Jackson, Hurts, and Prescott. Jackson fell a little further than expected but still went in round one.. I don't think anyone thought Jalen Hurts was a 1st round talent. I'll be honest, I never even heard of Dak Prescott until the Cowboys drafted him. 

I'm not saying we should take a QB. But, if we do we need to make sure we get the guy we want. Don't leave anything to chance. Other teams try to manipulate the draft board as well. It only takes one GM to mess up our entire draft strategy. Somebody else may want the guy we want.

True Story: the Cowboys needed a WR to replace Drew Pearson after his near fatal car accident prior to the 1984 season. Jerry Rice was the guy they were targeting. Bill Walsh had 3 receivers we wanted prior to the 1985 draft (Al Toon, Eddie Brown, and Jerry Rice). The Jets took Toon first. The Bengal wanted Eddie Brown, but Sam Wyche was willing to trade down with SF for a 1 and a 3. Walsh was willing to part with a 1 and a 4. Sam took Eddie Brown. Walsh knew Dallas wanted Rice so they traded up 1 spot ahead of Dallas and took Rice. Imagine how much different history would have been SF hadn't made that trade.

I agree.  My point was those QB's are considered better than this current crop and they fell out of the top 5.

I'm guessing at least one of this crop will be available bottom of the first, top of the second.  That said, I agree with you, if you know there is THE guy, you do what you have to, to get him.

If he goes to the right team in 2 years we’ll be saying that Corral’s comp is Patrick Mahomes. There is a reason Willis has a giant arm. He’s been in the weight room. He’s jacked through the shoulders and in his butt/quads. Corral for whatever reason hasn’t done that but he will in the league. He’s going to put on 15lbs and be the best of the bunch. I bet we stay put and go with Pickett bc he’s more “pro ready.” But if there’s a chance we can trade down and get corral we should. If Willis is going too 5 let someone else have him. No way In hell I’m giving up capital to go get a project. Recoup capital and trade down for a project? Sure. Trade up? Nope.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

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

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
