Folks, 

You don’t have to pick a specific guy others want you to pick when you draft first overall. When you have that pick, you can take whoever you deemed to be “your guy”. Also don’t forget there’s a reason a team drafts first overall. They are a bad team. They have a harder time climbing their team out of the gutter compared to a guy drafted 15th overall.

The only thing that this chart tells me is that the current superstar QBs in todays game were picked in the 1st round, some of them may not have been top 5 picks but still in the first round. The right player with the right coaching/organization fit is huge, look at Josh Allen and Lamar. These guys were so raw, some even saw Lamar as a RB, coaching now a days needs to adapt to the player not the other way around.

So what's the point of this thread? Stick with PJ?

I mean ... you know how we got Cam, right? We drafted him.

Point of this thread is you don’t have to tank the season away to get a good QB because it’s usually a crapshoot anyways.

I see archetypes for the QB draft.  

there's the athlete, the game manager, the media favorite, then guys with talent who for whatever reason cant get out of their own way.   Injuries do fall into this category. 

I propose the "breakfast club"  QB class system.  

1 .the Princess

2. the Criminal

3. the Basket case

4. the Brain

5. the Jock

example recent class. Pickett is a princess. Willis is the Jock Bailey is the Brain.  it's between corrall and rudder to prove me wrong neither will end up the basket case or criminal. My money is on Ridder as the Criminal. 

just look at the OP's handy chart and you can't tell me Lawrence was not the princess of his class.  Have fun.

Why is everyone giving up on matt corral already

Well maybe because he was Rhule and generally unless they have real good reason the next staff isn’t invested in him. Corral didn’t show anything on film that I would consider real valuable for them to witness. So far. 
I see him as unknown still.

Play as good as we can now.

Win as much as we can now.

And get the best QB we can in the draft. 

There wasn't a sure shot QB last season. The Panthers, needing a QB, drafted an OT with the number six pick. Not Pickett, not Willis, not Corral.

There's not a sure shot QB this year either, neither Young, Stroud or Levis is a top tier pick at QB.

I totally agree. Get as many wins as you can BUT it's probably unlikely they pick any of these guys at QB with a top 5-10 pick.

The risk would be huge taking any of these QBs this year top ten. Although I'm on the Levis as the top pick of this group bandwagon, I still don't think Levis is a bonafide top 10 pick, more like a late first, second round guy.

Not to high on this class at all. If there was a Cam in this draft I'd be all in but there is not.

I see us going BPA or something close to it.

you need to draft AR in the first because of the 5th year option

This is the move. If you need him to sit a year, which he does as of now, you want those 4 extra rookie years of his contract. This is probably why some team drafting in the back of the first takes a swing on him.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
