I'd listen. Shedeur Sanders has Raiders written all over him IMO. 

yeah, i'm thinking that as well. seems like a right fit. 

giants i guess are going to be in on the discussion as well, but tbh i don't see them as an organization that would be pushing for that #1 pick. 

i feel like Ward seems like a realistic option for us. i just don't know if we're going to be wanting to risk a QB at #1 again so soon.

so how about this....if we're sitting there at 1 and the raiders (who are obviously looking for a QB) come knocking offering to trade for 1, would you do it knowing that they'd likely be taking Ward?

No way in hell the raiders take ward over sanders

I think the Panthers take the QB if they have #1 again. There's no vet that might be in free agency worth a big contract and the team needs a starting quality QB. That means drafting one. Plus, none of the college edge rushers have proven to be worth the top pick either.

A QB in the 1st round isn’t a risk, it’s an almost mathematical prerequisite for finding a franchise QB. Yes they can turn out bad but so can the LB or S that people are going to clamor for.

I think Ward has all the potential and is in the conversation to be #1 QB. He's got the physical tools, he has faced adversity from no name college to Miami, he's put up the stats, has won games coming playing from behind. I think he just needs to play well in the playoffs and big time games. He is very similar to Cam Newton in regards to his college career. If Miami wins the championship, I think you have to draft him #1 overall.

I wouldn't call Washington State exactly "no name college". They're not powerhouse but they're a solid program.

Thats definitely been a strength of this team the coast few years.

Tepper loves a project QB.

A project is fine. A pack of them has been an issuenfor sure.

I just think most rookie QBs are projects at this point, some can start and others need to sit But you won't really know until they get in and start working with a professional crew vs the part time gig as a student athlete.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
