Chances are Benn could be there at 48' date=' thats why I'm predicting we trade our first next year for an early second this year grab Griffen and then take Benn with the 48.[/quote']

That would be great. I just really hope Benn is there at 48.

I don't think it will happen, and I may be in the minority, but if we do trade up to get Clausen, then I will be thrilled. As much as I like Moore, even if he maxes out his potential, I don't think he is anywhere near Clausen's level. I know some here think he will bust, but based on what I saw from him in the several ND games I watched this year, I feel he is going to be a special QB in the NFL.

With that said, if we did trade up, I wouldn't use either our 2nd or 3rd round picks to do it since we still need a WR and DL (they are clearly our first priority). Our #1 next year and maybe this year's 4th would probably be fair.

I don't know why some people want us to move up to take either Kindle or Griffen. The team obviously is VERY high on Brown, and most here have talked about how Johnson is poised to breakout. But if we trade up to get a top DE, then that effectively takes either Brown or Johnson out of the picture as one of our starting DE's of the future...and likely for only a moderate difference in production.

If we trade up, IMO, it will be for a DT, WR, or QB. We can address our need for a rotational DE a little later in the draft or even in the post-draft wave of FA.

Well, 32 teams passed on Matt Moore for all seven rounds, so what's the point?

Don't get me wrong, I like Moore, but I don't see him as anything more than a solid game manager. And if he is who we have, I am fine with him starting...even long-term. With the offense as we have seen it, all we need is a game manager, but I truly believe Clausen would bring a level of explosiveness to the passing game that we haven't ever really seen here in Carolina (except for one pass-happy year in '99). And while I know some will say Fox would never open things up, I would disagree. I think Fox tries to coach to his player's and team's strength's and hide weaknesses, so if he had a QB with Clausen's accuracy and decision-making, he would expand the offense to take advantage of it....but that's just my opinion, and since we most likely won't pick him, we'll probably never really know.

I don't really listen to what he says, but I thought it was slightly funny and everyone here would get a kick out of it.

Pete Prisco has us taking Cam Thomas, DT from UNC with the 48th pick now....Here's the kicker Both Benn and Tate are still on the board when we pick in his 2nd round mock. Other Notables still available Taylor Mays and Carlos Dunlap.

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
