In a deep qb class should the panther take one day 3?

You mean next years class doesnt have the talent that would be worth it in other words?

Worth it, you mean taking a shot at a QB in the first round?   Unless we want to take a stab a mediocre veteran in FA, then our hands are tied, so we kinda HAVE to.  The very point I'm trying to prove.  We never learn our lesson until we are out of options, good ones anyway.

I dont know what else to do if Bryce does not pan out next year either. I do like a few guys ideas of drafting a QB late every year in the 7th since 7th round odds are not great anyhow and you could find a hidden gem on a rare occasion. It doesnt overly excite me to go after a mediocre vet thinking we can fix everything either. We are definitely in a bad position if Bryce does not work out next season. Bad talent evaluations, bad trades for years and just plain bad decisions has really started to dig us deep down to the point that we have a heck of a long way to go to climb out of this hole.

Problem being Penix and Nix would be vying for QB1 in next year's class.  Ewers would be QB3.  See the tragic irony there?

Nah. Penix and Nix were already 5th year seniors this year. That was their extra covid year. They had to chance the draft if they wanted to keep playing football.

I wasn't talking about their college eligiblity, but projecting their stock versus to whom is likely to be QB1 in 2025 in Ewers.  Put like this, if Ewers was in this draft, he'd be QB6 or QB7.  Why do you think he went back to Texas?  Did he want to skim NIL money from Arch Manning or some petty thing?  Texas will likely make the playoffs, but will not win the Natty. So chasing a ring isn't the realistic reason either.

Dude knew he'd be a top pick in 2025 and be no higher than a third rounder this year.  It was a no-brainer for Ewers.

I dont know much about ewers, but I do know he has a bazooka for an arm.

If thats true put me down for a no vote on Ewers next season unless he absolutely lights the world on fire and develops into someone who would have went first overall this year for next season.

I miss a QB with a cannon for an arm. I dont mean to poo on Bryce but every time he throws I just dont see the lightning pop behind it that makes me think he can make any and all the throws especially the deep ones.

People can project all they want, but it's way too early to say who will be the top QB in next year's draft. NIL and the transfer portal has really screwed a lot of the college landscape up. Getting a few million to play the lighter college schedule has to be a lot more tempting than getting paid the same to play in the NFL unless you're a top ten pick.

From the little I have seen from qe he has a massive massive arm.  I think the knock on him is his inaccuracy but he is really athletic as well.  I will devote more time this season to watch texas as he is intriguing

I believe dane brugler said that ewers has the best arm of any qb that he has scouted.  Said the ball makes a whistling sound coming out of his hand.  He can throw from any angle and it zips out due to natural mechanics.  But yeah he needs to work on accuracy

Its a start. Having a strong arm and athletic is definitely at least a start. I just looked him up and he is listed as 6'2 194 but only 20 years old so still has a bit more time to grow and put on some mass.

He was one of those that could skip his senior year in hs and did to enroll in osu early.   I mean he is keeping manning on the bench so he must be doing something right and believe it when I say I got sick of hearing how awesome manning was in high school

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
