Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

I like that fact that Ward has had to work to move himself into consideration for the NFL and hasn't been handed the superstar Mantle from the start.  And his ability to remain calm when things aren't going well.  He barely even threw the ball in high school.  That suggest he has room to grow and learn.   And he will need it as after watching him play, he still has a lot to learn.  Makes ill advised throws at times and tends to hold the ball too long. Hard to say if he will make it in the NFL, but I feel he has the same chance as any of the others in the draft.

Haven't had time to pay attention to college ball the last couple weeks but seems like all the mock drafts have Sanders, Hunter, and Ward in the top 5 and then kinda mixed bag after that. I like that Ward is a playmaker with a little Favre style in him, seems real comfortable leading the huddle. Very different vibe from the soft stuff we've dealt with the last couple years. I believe he would no doubt beat out BY in a camp battle for what it's worth

Yeah we need a QB with this mindset. We have to change the whole culture here and that would be a great start. Whoever it is needs to be a leader and someone who pushes his teammates to be better.

In a trade down scenario or in the second round yes. But as a top 3 pick? He doesn't look like that to me. I'm not saying he won't be a good QB but if you have a top 3 pick you have to take a difference maker unless you are trading out of the spot

Reading through this thread is like watching broke high school kids scoff at Ferraris because they like Lamborghinis while they're actually driving a clapped out Honda Civic.

I see your point but over-drafting and reaching at positions of need has landed us where we are today amongst other terrible decisions

No, trading 5 premium players for an all-time bust has landed us where we are today.

That and just generally poor drafting.

Ward is a solid prospect but Sanders is quite obviously going to be the best combination of polished and skilled.

I really don't think this is a strong QB class, however.

Meh, I think Sanders gets a lot of attention due to his last name.  As to how good he really is, we will see.  He had better learn how to get rid of the ball faster or his NFL career will be a short one.  

Predictions about qb classes get it wrong as often as they get it right.  2021 was a very hyped qb class, and it might be the most over hyped class in a long time.

Sanders is a ridiculous passer even if you have to deal with the father.  I think he goes number 1.

Ward is an impressive playmaker but he has a lot of things to clean up and makes some bad decisions IMO.  He will turn it over a lot if he doesn’t fix that

Josh Allen turns it over a lot, too. Who among us wouldn't take him at QB in a heartbeat?

Totally different player, totally different situation.  Not even a decent comparison.  And no you don’t go looking for guys that are turnover prone.

    • Playing around with mock draft simulator this is probably my favorite one yet All the Super tantalizing potentials were off the board at 19. Proctor was there but I really question if he can hold up at OT in the NFL at his size. I think speed rushers might put him in a blender. I was definitely willing to move down to pickup mire capital. There's an obvious focus on the trenches in this draft. If you can own the LOS you can win a lot of games. Hell, the Seahawks just won a SB doing just that. Iheanachor oozes potential. He has all the physical tools to end up being the beat OT in this class but he's pretty raw having not been playing football long. Well worth it with the first pick in the 2nd. Christen Miller is listed as a DT here but he'd play DE in our defense. Not a lot of people are talking about it focusing on LB instead but our DEs suck too. Lawson should be a day one starter at MLB. His NFL ceiling might be more good than great but that's fine. He's smart, he's capable, and he was the QB in that Bama defense. That's what we need. If you want to runaway 3-4 defense, you need a dog at NT. We don't have one. Orange can be that. He's not gonna pile up stats on his own but that's not the point of a NT. The point of a NT is to make everyone else's job easier.  Slaughter is a potential starting center. Maybe not as a rookie but he could potentially be the long-term answer. I'm never going to give up on my dream of the Panthers having a true sideline to sideline ball hawking FS. Safety wasn't high on my list but Bud Clark was too tempting to pass up. At the very least he's a guy who should earn a role on 3rd and long obvious passing down type situations.  Kevin Coleman is exactly the type of slot WR type we need working the underneath and muddle with T-Mac and Coker on the outside.  TJ Hall is just a dog and he's experienced playing outside and at nickel. He can cover and he's not afraid to step up against the run. He should be able to earn a roster spot as he hopefully develops as an NFL player. Nwaiwu is another development type pick with the advantage of having experience playing both LG and RG in college. At this point in the draft you're likely looking at guys projected as career backups and the more versatile you are as a backup the more roster value you have. I packaged two late rounders together to move io to secure Allar who has all the physical tools you want in a QB and has largely been forgotten since he missed a lot of games down the stretch this year. If he didn't he'd likely be a mid-round pick. He might still end up being a mid-round pick. If I could get him as a developmental guy in the 6th I'm doing that all day.
    • Honestly thought Ickey was fairlt average. That's just based on the eye test. I haven't seen any grades or anything to base that on. Usually when the QB was pressured, it seemed like it was coming from the LT or RG. 
    • Its actually easier than the one we played this season of you compared 2025 win pct.of opponents.
