Doing the math and a little research, even if we pick top 20, still a great chance at getting one of the top 4 QBs.

In my opinion there are the “big 4” when it comes to this QB draft class. Stroud, Young, Hooker and Levis. Looking at teams across the NFL I only see 5 teams that need a QB bad enough to draft one in the first round.. Us, Lions, Texans, Commanders and the Bucs. (Saints do but they don’t have a pick this year, yay!) 

I went back and looked at the last 10 draft years, the most QBs taken in the first round was in 2018 and when 5 QBs were taken and the 5th QB (Lamar Jackson) was taken at pick 32. On average, over the last 10 years, only 4 QBs are taken in the first round. 
 

If I’m being honest, these group of QBs this year are all on the same level. I mean Hooker has had a phenomenal year, almost as good as Stroud or Young. Who cares he will be 25, I’m a glass half full guy and I just view that as him being more mature and pro ready from day 1 as opposed to “omg, call the nursing home, he’s a geaser.” 
 

my point is this, we still have an excellent chance of nabbing a franchise guy in the first round be it if we pick first or 32nd.. I’m actually surprised at how few teams need QBs this year

      No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad

      I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle.

      Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
