I doubt Icky and Neal will be there.  If the Lions bite on WIllis or the Falcons trade up for him that leaves just one...

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

[TLGPanthersFan]

For me if Willis is there we draft him. If not draft an LT. Prepare to endure the suckening of the Darnold and get your QB in 2023.

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.

Is it being a Cam nut hugger to say Newton gives Carolina a better chance to win in 2022 than any FA or QB in this draft, because he most likely does. Fans want to see Cam with time to throw

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.

I dont buy that about having to trade up to get Willis.

He's my pick, but if he's gone at 6, I'm trading back and taking Corral or Howell, picking up a 2nd rounder, and I'd be just fine.

Running QBs will never win you super bowl. So many people impressed will they QBs throwing at air.

No you don’t.

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.

OR....if he does happen to make it to 6, and some team really wants him, we could fetch a ransom in a trade. 

[Panthers Rhule]

[PanthersGOATFan336]

Jhc does anybody here think logically...

 

NONE OF THESE QBS WOULD MAKE THE FIRST ROUND NEXT YEAR
