Neither Mahomes or Allen went #1 but plenty of really bad QBs have. I would rather have the best QB and not the most desired QB regardless of the 'experts' opinions.

This is a deep class, but not a star-studded class.  The QB hype train is only two cars long this year and the casual observers will get snagged in that narrative.  That's cool with me.  Hopefully Wilkes pulls out several wins, we trade back grab Mayer and take a QB at the top of the 2nd round.

Every year that train gets out of hand. For fugs sake it did last year and it was the worst class I can remember.

The NFL is a hype machine and the need for QBs makes it a guarantee that fans will belive some of the crazy and stupid crap that they come up with to keep people engaged. I get what you are saying tho. I just don't look until the kids are done with school. It takes all of the emotion out of it and makes it easier IMO.

I don’t think he’s a sure fire superstar but I would be ok with Levis.  He has a lot of upside.  Great size, big arm and pretty athletic.  Stroud and Young both scare me.  It’s so hard to get a gauge on how good Alabama and OSU QB’s are because they always have a stacked roster.

DO NOT WANT STROUD!!!  Ohio State QBs are trash in the NFL. Fields is 2 years into his pro career and he looks worse and worse. 

Will never understand the people that look at the helmet and nothing else. Stroud looks like an entirely different QB.

Panther fans be like "we should wait until next year" — every year.

It kills me, Young/Stroud are as good of prospects as anyone who has come out lately.  Every single player in the draft has some sort of risk, not very many have the prolonged upside as one of these QBs.  When you find yourself in a position to take a QB and you need one you take one.

Completely agree.  Assuming we are in the top 5, I don't see any other option than going qb.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
