CSR: Shawn Zobel of Draft Headquarters on Panthers draft plans

Recommended Posts

According to an analyst I was speaking with yesterday, he said 0% chance we trade the pick at this time because of the risk of no draft next year. Trading to our spot would require future picks which have no value currently. Also in regards to the Denver trade, he said 1% lol

Theoretically that could happen. But I think most people believe there will be a draft next year.

But hell who knows. Maybe in the course of the new CBA discussions they dissolve the draft altogether and go with a different way of bringing in prospects. Then we would be left out to dry.

But if I put a percentage on that it would be like .05%

I don't see that being possible. We'd only be moving three spots down.

Their first and second sounds GREAT to me.

I think we would be very tempted to swap 1st's and take their 2nd... but if we think Cam can be a franchise QB then we shouldn't pass on him.

exactly...if carolina likes cam then they obviously feel he can be that franchise guy...you don't pass on a QB unless you already have one

Didn't NY give up a future first rounder when they swapped Rivers and Manning??

That was one of the best QB drafts in the history of the NFL :P Moving up to get Eli Manning is going to cost more than moving up to get Cam.

It wasn't considered that at the time. Hindsight is 20/20 but there were pretty big questions about all 3 of those guys coming out.

While that's (somewhat) true, it's unarguable that Eli Manning was a better QB prospect than Cam. Just the "Manning" at the end of his name made him about as hyped up as you can get.

In general, drafting QB's is a crap shoot... there's no such this as a "can't miss" QB prospect.

I've seen Parcells QB drafting criteria quoted on here... Parcells drafted Long and passed on Matt Ryan, then drafted Pat White.

If you're waiting for a "can't miss" QB prospect to come along you're going to be waiting a LONG time and you still may draft a bust.

Some people didn't even have Manning the #1 QB in that class. He wasn't unanimous either.

You really think Cam and Gabbert are even comparable to Manning and Rivers? I'm not trying to predict the future, I'm just talking about them as QB prospects. Both were WAY ahead of Cam/Gabbert.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
