I'm in mockone.net's mock draft (mockthree) as an assistant gm of the Panthers and we are in the 4th round. Our GM is insisting that we take E.J. Manuel here because he fits our offense and would be a much better backup and potential trade bait over the next couple years but I'm just not convinced we would go QB. At least not this early when DT is still a need for us in the mock.

Opinions?

Yea, if we could get Manuel in the 4th or 5th it wouldn't be a bad idea really. 4th is where I'm hoping we pick up an OG or TE but picking up Manuel for the reasons you listed would be smart too. Won't happen though, obviously. Manuel is gonna be gone long before our pick in the 4th and I wouldn't want us to use a pick higher than that when we still need DT, S, WR, CB, OG so bad.

    • Joe Person   @josephperson · 16m     Panthers become the 1st team this yr with 5 weekly winners: Rico Dowdle, Ryan Fitzgerald, Sam Martin, Tre'von Moehrig and Bryce. Panthers last did that in 2017: Cam Newton, Julius Peppers, Luke Kuechly, Jonathan Stewart and Damiere Byrd.
    • Gotta wonder if Smitty's brain has turned to mush with how hard he played in the NFL
    • OK, fair enough--however, since my point was that drafting a QB in the top 10 is stupid, if you consider the players who were not drafted in the top 10 or those who WERE drafted in the top 10 and did not secure starting positions with the team that drafted them, you should see the point.  Is it smart to draft a QB in the top 10 when only 4 are still starting for the team that drafted them.  Next, consider that half of that number, 2, were drafted outside the first round.  Next, there are 4 (Goff, Mayfield, Jones, and Darnold) who are starting on other teams after busting.   That number could increase as Arizona seems ready to move on from Murray, Miami is not sold on Tua, and jacksonville is still waiting for Trevor to start looking elite.  Bryce?   So to answer your question, there are MANY more QBs in the NFL who have busted and become starters on other rosters, were drafted after day 1, or are still on the cusp than the four who have become elite.  I thought that point was made.
