I am starting to get the feeling that our lack of involvement in the free agent QB market of late (Baker, JG), our comments/hints about wanting to move back, etc. might suggest that we will forego a top OT, trade back, grab a QB later, and play BC at T.

So much depends on our evaluation of Christensen.  The biggest smokescreen of all could be the fact that everyone assumes that we have no LT when the answer was on the roster all along.   Just spitballin' here!

And I realize that some of you think BC is not the answer, but this is my view of what they might be thinking.  Frankly, I hope we draft Cross or Neal--but then who do we play at QB?

That thought has crossed my mind.

I'd prefer we didn't, but it's possible.

If rumors are true, the draft starts with pick 6.

1. Jaguars - Travon Walker

2. Lions - Kayvon Thibodeaux

3. Texans - Derek Stingley

4. Jets - Icky Ekwonu

5. Giants - Aidan Hutchinson

6. Panthers

Best Available:

Sauce Gardner

Evan Neal

Garrett Wilson

Charles Cross

Kyle Hamilton

Drake London

Someone is going to want to jump up to our spot for Sauce Gardner (ahead of Giants, Seahawks, or Jets) or Garrett Wilson/Drake London (Giants, Jets, Redskins, Falcons, Vikings).

The Panthers should have people calling to move up. Especially from Jets, Texans, Seahawks, and Eagles (They have multiple firsts and more flexibility to trade away picks). I see a trade down. It will be too tempting for Fitterer to reject.

If all 3 tackles are gone and we cannot trade down

Willis

Willis is a long term enormous gamble. You would have to sit him for at least 1 season possibly 2 or more.

In that situation you are dumping PJ while keeping Sam. You would also have to bring in a vet to put Sam on the bench or on the street. Or you keep Sam as the starter and PJ as the backup until Willis is ready. You will have to extend Sam or get someone else until Willis is ready, if he ever is. 

It will be the almost the same for any of these QB'S I'm afraid.

Sheena Quick on QB speculation...

 

That's what pisses me off about Pickett (and this pro readiness) narrative..

It took him 5 years to be college ready..

And

He isn't assured to beat out Sam who has a strong arm and more athletic..

I'd do this for 13, 37, and 68 or 80

I think they REALLY like Garrett Wilson

We'd be a pretty ideal trade target to get ahead of ATL, NYJ, SEA, & WAS, all potential WR suitors.  And we're probably pretty tight connection wise after ongoing Watson discussions for the past 1.5 years.

We land 13, 37, 80 and a future 3rd (or something like that)

      Malik Willis anyone

      By Smohn Jith · Posted

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
