Later Round QBs. Is there anyone worth a look in the Draft?

Lets think like John Lennon and Imagine we get a LT at 6 and do not trade back. Also Imagine we do not trade back up into the 2nd or 3rd rounds.

Considering this we are staying put at pick #137.

Are there any QBs worth picking to develop. I have ran through several Mock drafts that have Carson Strong available here, but I'm not sure he falls that far. Zappe, Glass and Cole Kelley seem to be available there in most Mocks. Are any of these kids worth a look at 137 or after if we go LT at #6? Does anyone know if we have had any of them in to visit or if we have scouted any of them more than usual?

Heck, most of the top 5 QBs are second rounders at best--but I like the kid from Brown University--at best a career backup.

EJ Perry. I have not saw much on him. His stats are encouraging. I'd assume he'd be someone that may wind up as a UDFA.

If Strong is there in the 4th and we don't take him there should be a riot on Mint St.

I agree 100%.

Strong won't get to the third round. Unfortunately word is spreading. My bad.

Idunno...imo he would have been a first rounder but his health concerns. Every name is an investment during the draft and having 2 surgeries on the same knee does not do him any favors. Especially if he's basically a statue in the pocket. 

His deep ball and ball placement are A+!!!!!! He has all the intangibles. And he seems to have the mental side down as far as processing the field goes. The knee and his lack of mobility is what I think will hold him until the 3rd-4th round...stranger things have happened but he is an intriguing option.

It's the draft so noone really knows. All it takes is one team's medical staff giving them the OK. 

I will say he's my favorite QB from this particular class.

I would take any of these QB's with our non-1st round draft picks. At some point you have to upgrade over PJ Walker.

PJ has the best gig in football. As long as Rhule is coaching PJ will never lose his job.  He's indispensable. That's job security children.

I fear he may not survive.

I think he will just get to eat some crow for his man crush for a while. That's the problem with being TOO much of a college FB fan, you tend to look past the faults.

If Liberty had fans, I am sure they would be just as ridiculous about Willis.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
