    That’s them out of the QB market in the draft

    Are you sure?

    No doubt they like at least one QB in this class not named Lawrence, but not the asking price to move up and insure they get him.

    So instead they get Darnold on the cheap and should their guy fall to them at #8, then why not take him?

    How about protecting Darnold? it Worked for the Browns last year when we signed a tackle and drafted another in the first round.

    Well whoever falls to 8 will be the 5th best QB in the draft (you know what I mean) and I would be very surprised if they made this trade only to draft a guy at #8 when four QBs have already gone before him.

    If it actually works that way, then sure, but...

    • Aaron Rogers fell to 24...
    • Mahomes to 10th...

    Just sayin'...

    How much help do they need? CAR's PassPro is already a vast improvement over NYJ... and not far behind ours.

    • Jets gave up 160 pressures in 2020. That was 27.9% of their dropbacks.
    • We gave up 106... 19.2%.
    • CAR? 124... 19.9%

    The LT penciled in as 2021 starter, Greg Little, gave up 0. Problem with him tho is small sample size (130 snaps) due to being on IR the 2nd-half of the season after missing starts in the 1st-half.

    Add that we already knew we had our QB didn't we? So the question is... Do the Panthers? Maybe, but the price they had to pay says they are essentially alone if that is their take.

    At #8 CAR may have their pick of the 2021 OT litter, Sewell. But he could (and is often mocked to) go before #8 and if he is gone, then the next best OT options are good, but not necessarily Top Ten good.

    I think the other options they'll look at for #8 are WR and Pitts... who I've already said I think will find his way to WR in the NFL.

    One thing Darnold already has going for him with CAR is he'll have a run game to take some pressure off of him. Not to mention one of the best receiving backs among NFL starters.

  • I'm pulling for Darnold to come out of this ok.  Seems like an ok guy/player/team mate.

    For the Jets, their new coach gets a hand in selecting his new QB.  They're picking 2nd.  Makes some sense to just reboot the QB position I guess.

  • Panthers are average at OL - rank 18. Moton above 80, Little below replacement level, Paradis decent, Elflein below replacement level, Daley surprisingly decent.

    They need better OL play - I'd quickly go OL in the first 

  • Pitts fits any team...especially the Panthers.  If it’s not line I’d go Pitts if he’s there at 8. 
     

    I will remove myself from fantasyland and give into the fact that the Browns aren’t pulling off a Julio Jones type deal to go up and get him - reluctantly.

  • Pitts fits any team...especially the Panthers.  If it’s not line I’d go Pitts if he’s there at 8.

    That's o.k. Next year they can go for that other great SEC TE, Jalen Wydermeyer. And he blocks too.?

    And I thought Darnold would be OK.  Wasn't sold on Rosen.

    .

    No they (Carolina) won't. The word from Bungle Land- (and I'll be shocked if they don't) take Sewell with their first pick ahead of the Jags. The salad days of Anthony Munoz are an eon ago. Look for them to buy an insurance policy that Super Joe isn't a piñata this year.

    Pretty sure I can guess who he plays for...

    "Average" is a helluva improvement over the Jets.

    PFF's Team OL ranking is probably the worst analysis they do... as they do no analysis of the group. They simply sum the parts.

    Well they also have this little ole guard who's moving over to LT. And of course this little bitty DE. It's a race to see which one gets drafted first. I'm betting it's the DE among the first 5 going myself. We'd have to crash bad to get him as MG's opposite side guy. So look for the TE. The LT will be gone by then too anyway.
