Would You Get a QB in 2025 draft, or not??

I don't follow college football closely so I can't really say much but it seems the '25 QB class isn't that good and we badly need some cornerstone players. If there are "sure-thing" (or as close to one it as you can get) defensive players at any position available at our pick I'd consider that, but would really love it if we could trade down and get a haul.

I've generally been of the mindset recently that we need to keep drafting a QB kinda high every 2-3 years until we hit on one, but the D so badly needs an infusion of some talent that I'd be ok postponing that plan this year and looking at QB in '26. Or maybe look at a QB in the 2nd round with that Rams pick we have.

Bit early for this question but we can all see how this season is trending. 

I thought this would be an interesting question. What would you personally do at QB in 2025 off-season? And what do you think the Panthers would do?

I would draft almost all defense and get a reasonable vet QB like Flacco or keep Dalton for the cheap. And keep building the team until we've demonstrated that were a playoff ish caliber team and ready to get a QB. 

And ideally we'd sit that QB like Packers do. 

What I expect. Is Canales will be pressured to get a QB in 2025. Maybe not in R1 but he could easily take one in R2 or R3. Especially if the QBs this year aren't expected to rank highly on draft boards (similar to the Pickett/Corall draft). 

 

He'll probably get his vet qb of his own choosing this off season as well.

What Minnesota is doing is interesting because Darnold is a Free Agent after this year. Either Darnold could come available or they keep him and trade off JJ McCarthy possibly.

The Darnold thought is very interestingl.

We need someone like Darnold, vet QB that can lead the team while the new QB sits and learns

Tough to say. it depends on who comes out. If we get anywhere between 3-5 pick, I would take one of Sanders or Ewers, if we pick earlier, I would trade the pick or pick the best defense on the board, and probably look for a second round flyer QB like Nussimier, Aller. The rest of the draft is then defense exclusively.

It's a LONG time until April =P  I mean, you never know, Bryce could turn it on! (LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!)

That being said, we need defense.  We need pass rushers.  We need run stuffers.  We need TALENT!!!

If we end up top 5, Cleveland and NE are working hard to beat us to #1, we need to get the best player on the board, period.  If it's a WR, cool.  If it's a CB, cool.  A top 5 pick needs to be an absolute blue chip player.

A QB?  Depends on who falls into the 2nd+ rounds...

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      If you look at our depth chart, this has to be at the top of the primary needs list. Outside of a true rangy FS that balances Moehrig, I don't see any other "immediate" needs for 2026.  Beyond this year, figuring out C, OT, TE1 and WR3 and probably CB2 (are we going to pay Jaycee and Mike Jack?) are on my radar.  My list at 19 (in no order) : Freeling Thieneman McNeil-Warren McDonald Miller  Sadiq   I think CB is also low key going to be a selection earlier than anticipated...Chris Johnson on day 2 fits what we're looking for, IMO and he balled out at the combine. The salaries we just took on and BY9 coming up, I struggle to believe Mike Jack is a Panther next year.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Walker is a 1 year signing. Stone is a 1 year. BC is coming back from an Achilles injury. Typically takes 2 years to get back to full health, but he's also better inside than at tackle. Yosh retired. Moton will have 1 year remaining on his contract and he's already admitted knee issues. That's banking on a whole lot of nothing at the end of this upcoming season.  As far as challenging Bryce, a challenge can come from any round. It's about finding the right QB with the physical and mental talent that fits the system. Wilson, Dak, Purdy, Brady. Just a few examples of non 1st round QBs that were able to challenge the starters.  Another QB doesn't necessarily have to beat out Bryce, but we should be looking for another starting caliber QB. It's not like Bryce has set the bar so high it's unattainable. The bar is low. The goal is playoffs. Do we throw away a season if Bryce gets hurt, because KP is taking us nowhere. Dan has made some great signings this FA period, I give him that. But replacing Dalton with KP is not aggressively improving our QB room. It's at best a lateral move. This is all about getting better. But this is yet another move that makes it even less conspiracy theory, and more reality, that Bryce is being protected from any real adversity in our QB room.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Oh I think it will be. My point was that we need to be trying to get better in the QB room. KP doesn't do that. He's not going to be a long term plan with a 1 year contract. He's just insurance.  This "should" be a make or break year for Bryce. Either He's a guy worthy of an extension or not. Bringing in a rookie number 2 with potential may net us nothing, or it could get us something. The one thing we can be certain of is KP gets us nothing and that's not a good position to be in.  I don't want to go into next year with no number 2, Bryce not having developed I to a real QB1, and sitting at 12 or 15 needing to move up to take a QB in the draft just like we did for Bryce. It's not an outcome I see going well for us.
