“I don’t think they draft a QB”

Playing devil's advocate:

It's possible to realize you need a QB, realize your best bet is through the draft, and at the same time genuinely not believe any of the qb's in the current draft are the answer. Whether this is what's happening is anyone's guess, but them saying they don't like the current qb crop doesn't automatically mean they want to keep going after garbage FA options. they could have finally realized they need to draft one, then looked at this draft class and made a face. historically there have been entire drafts with no franchise qb in them, even when that fact wasn't recognized at the time.

Bingo. If you fall in love with a QB, go after him. If you don’t think they are worth #9 or the cost of trading up, then drafting a QB just to draft one seems dumb. 
 

This is all putting the cart in front of the coach/combine/pro day/interview/etc cart though.

Now here is the funny part, one of the draft stories will have to end up being true because they'll have listed almost every possibility in the first round. Sooner or later they hit on the Panthers actual plans, but it's purely by process of elimination. Sooner or later they'll hit on the actual plan by making up so many different bs stories.

I think we don't draft one either. We had a chance to have extra picks to move up (Burns) but said no to that. Some of us, as fans, were okay if we lost out as we'd be in draft position to pick a top QB ... but the team wasn't bad enough (as they don't tank). AR is a project and not worth using our first when we need more than QB on this team. We have Corral so Levis and Hooker would be a wash. We could always bring back Sam and be mediocre as is our way. So yeah ... I don't see it.

also if draft day comes and goes and they pass on a QB prospect because “we just see a guy we liked” after they cooed about the first round grade they had on Matt corral last draft then LOL

And the way Fitt says "we saw a guy we loved" will be said with all the enthusiasm and energy of Wednesday Adams. I swear Fitt is the most low energy monotone unenthusiastic person I've ever seen. I want to see him get hyped up when talking about our first pick after the draft. He'll be monotone for sure like he's about to fall asleep.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
