Should the Panthers pick a second QB?

[hepcat]

Let’s say all the rumors and pundits are right, and Bryce Young is drafted by the Panthers tonight. All signs point to the diminutive yet heady QB being the first overall pick.

Should the Panthers pull a 2012 Redskins, (who traded up to draft Robert Griffin III 2nd overall, and later drafted Kirk Cousins in the 4th round), and draft another QB?

Honestly I am not against it. Maybe later than the 4th round, but I don’t see it being a bad idea. Based on the QBs on the roster, there could be a spot for a later round QB. Andy Dalton is the backup and veteran mentor. But after that there’s Matt Corral, who wasn’t drafted by this staff and was said to be available via trade “for a ham sandwich” earlier this off-season, probably won’t even make the roster as it stands now. Jacob Eason is another practice squad level QB who is most likely just a training camp body. 

I could definitely see this playing out if the Panthers trade down from one of their other picks. If a player they like doesn’t fall to 39, maybe they trade down a bit and get some later round picks. Who knows. Either way, given Bryce Young’s small size while playing one of the most violent sports on earth, I don’t think hedging the bet is a bad idea.

Too many needs, too few draft picks.  Shoot your shot and move on.

If that happens the anti Bryce shitposters will treat him like a Saint for years.

 Mighty Mouse already  has backups, Dalton and Corral and oh yeah, Eason is tucked away too

so….no

[ForJimmy]

We have Dalton as the vet and Corral as the young project. I think we should be set at QB. Eason and Corral will battle it out for the practice squad unless we roll with 3 QBs.

We are already picking one at the very top. Need to build around him. No time for luxury picks.

Matt Corral has entered the chat

Give Corral a chance.

[jayboogieman]

Joking aside, as others have mentioned, just build around whoever they pick and trust in the others already on the roster to be able backups.

This right here. How the heck does so many throw him away by just some limited preseason action that he struggled in as a rookie followed by season ending injury? We have no idea what we have with him so why not keep him and develop him? Who knows, what if he developed into a legit starting QB in the NFL and one of the guys we have either the drafted QB tonight or Corral nets us a good future pick in a trade? Corral has lots of potential and we need to see what he has

We traded up to take a QB just last season. There's no reason to not give him a shot.

[t96]

Nah Corral can be our “rookie Cousins”

Tanner McKee in the 5th.

If we'd picked a second QB last year we wouldn't have had to trade up to #1 this year. But nah, it's time to fully commit all of our QB development resources. This crew has already pushed all their chips in on this deal.
