I don’t think I want us to trade up for any of the “top” Qb’s

Draft best player available.

If we have to have a Qb in this draft like most are suggesting.
I wanted Hooker based on his specs, and he is from Greensboro. I know I’m being a homer.. (I just can’t stand Alabama or Ohio State and hope they loose every year.)

Since most scouts always assume a QB from Alabama , or Ohio State are the next great. I wanted to look at their and size comparison to others.

Now we know specs don’t really say if this guy is a legend in the making. However we know most scouts have an ideal size they look for. 

Richardson is 6' 4" 230 Runs 4.4 

Hendon Hooker 6’ 4” 222 4.7

C j Stroud. 6’2” 215   Runs 4.7

Bryce Young 5’ 10” 194  runs 4.52 


compared to our

Cam Newton 6’ 5” 245 ran a 4.6 

compared to others

Josh Allen 6’ 5” 247 ran  4.7

Patrick Mahomes  6’ 2” 225 ran  4.8

Joe Burrow 6’ 4” 220  ran 4.7

If specs were A true know it all, then we should definitely stay away from Young..

1. Trade down in the 1st, maybe twice to stack picks

2. Draft a O'Cyrus Torrance later in the 1st (All-Pro type Guard)

3. Draft Dalton Kincaid in the 2nd

4. Draft Zach Charbonnet in the 2nd

5. Draft Eli Ricks in the 3rd

6. Draft Jerrod Clark in the 4th or 5th

7. Re-sign Darnold

We either reach for JAG at QB, or we stack talent where we can and nab our guy once we have everyone, while also having the assets, in place. If we reach for a QB, and have to trade poo to get them again, we are right back where we've been since Cam got hurt. But everytime we trade stuff for a QB, we dig ourselves a deeper and deeper hole.

Give Darnold and Corral a shot with a real coaching staff. Build the best offensive line in the league, draft guys with elite talent in the aforementioned players, and just win baby.

I like it...Clayton Tune in the 4th with your mix would be a heck of a draft.Very sensible and logical approach to the current situation.

Gonna get poo'd to Hell for this one, but someone has to say it:

The team did try to put an OL in front of Cam Newton. Unfortunately, injuries and Marty Hurney (who put the team in cap hell and when he came back after 3 seasons promptly drafted Greg Little) fuged it up.

Tune might be worth it but you have to remember we probably roll with two QB's and a practice squad guy who, right now, is Eason. 

 

I'd be fine with Jake Haener in the 4th. He's sort of like Heinickie in a lot of ways which isn't a bad thing for a probable back-up.

I really want Torrance though. Watched him at Louisiana. Billy Napier had some DAWGS in Lafayette and an NFL O-Line coach. Ickey, Bozeman, Torrance, and Moton would easily be one of the best lines in the league by 2024. Draft Charbonnet (6'1 225, 4.45 40), draft Kincaid out of Utah, re-sign Darnold, and maybe take Mims or the guy out of Houston in the 3rd and you've got a really, really good core of players on offense. 

I'd like to see how Darnold could do with that.

Unpopular opinion

Carolina will weigh the cost of trading up, but also Aaron Rodgers or Lamar Jackson trades, and I think there is a great chance they pick Rodgers or Jackson trade if it is a similar cost

I would agree if it were only the draft picks involved.  But with Rodhers and Jackson there's also a huge guaranteed contract added on top of the picks. All is not equal.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
