📡 Mac Jones is moving up McShay's draft board very quickly

Blank will attempt to put butts in seats with his selection.

It will be interesting to see what the new GM does. Does he go for the popular pick or go for what's needed?

I wish they would. But knowing the Falcons they take the most unproven quarterback in Lance, ha ha.

Interestingly enough, Kiper in his newest mock draft has the Pats grabbing that guy. Kiper says Lance is going to save the franchise. Do whaaaaaaaaaa???

Looking like we will have 5-6 picked in the first round no other program will have more than two.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

JMO but If Mac is still at the table when it is time for the Pats to select then I believe they will take a chance with #10 or trade out of that spot and gamble that they can get him still in round 1 plus another choice from trading.

Dont think Mac will be with Patriots. Panthers wants him.

Not as bad as they want Watson though... question is, can they get him... I think so.

The “experts” are all over the place with Matt Jones draft prospects and with his NFL potential. In fact, in a recent article, the BamaOnLine folks were all over the place in just a few paragraphs. They start out stating Jone’s had worked himself into a first round player and one of them rated him as a starter within two years. Yet, the article concluded with the following:

“He's not much of an improv player but can hurt defenses with his feet once he leaves the pocket. The tape shows too much predetermined decision-making about where he wants to go with the football rather than letting the coverage and his progressions speak to him. While the production looks great, he has clearly benefited from a wealth of riches up front, in the backfield and at wide receiver. He has a tendency to play with some panic when pressure gets after him and could struggle when things aren't optimal around him. Jones has good backup to low-end starter potential."

If you’re not a Bama fan or you don’t watch much college football, you’d come away not thinking much of Mac Jones. And you’d certainly ask why would an NFL team spend a first round pick on a good backup or potential low-end starter? Also, I’ve heard and read often about Mac’s quick eyes and his ability to rapidly go through his progressions. And my eyes must have deceived me the entire season because I flat out missed seeing him panic in the pocket.

Even if he was available, the Panthers don’t have the capital or the pieces to compete with clubs like the Dolphins and the Jets — the other two teams most frequently mentioned as potential destinations in any Watson deal.

Add another obstacle to the course. Based on comments John McClain of the Houston Chronicle made on the radio today, it sounds like the Texans really wouldn’t be interested in a Carolina deal. For one, the No. 8 pick they hold isn’t high enough. Apparently, they also don’t want Teddy Bridgewater, who naturally would be a major piece the Panthers try to move in whatever quarterback trade they wind up making.

Who is Matt Jones?

Some actor dude...

Matt Jones

Don’t think he’s even in the draft.

A couple of things... Everyone within in the Panther's organization, from top to bottom, is fully on board with making it happen (that's important). When David Tepper wants something badly enough, he will do whatever he can to get it (example is stealing Rhule from the lap of the Giants). The trade would move Watson out of the AFC, unlike the other 2 teams, which would be ideal to the Texans. Does Carolina have as much in terms of picks to offer compared to Miami? No. But from what I understand, they want him much more than the others, and with Tepper's heavily involved, that can absolutely lead to a deal being made.

You can trade more than draft picks. Personnel, cash, future draft picks.

Having lunch, TV says 49ers will trade up for him at 9. Also, I always thought Hannah Storm was impervious to the ravages of time. Sadly, no more.

A grill exploded in her face. Probably having something to do with it.

Well everyone wants a QB that believes he should be equal to the GM when making decisions about the roster. I believe Pete Carroll has had his fill of his current QB.
