Panthers Tell Sam Darnold They'll Likely Draft A QB
3 years agoCarolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer met with quarterback Sam Darnold on Monday and told him "there's a pretty good chance" the team will add another QB in the draft this week. Fitterer said that the Panthers would be comfortable taking two quarterbacks with the No. 6 overall pick, although he didn't specify which QBs they were. Liberty's Malik Willis and Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett are the two highest-rated signal-callers among draft analysts. Fitterer said the team wants to "stabilize the quarterback position," and the best solution long-term is with a young player in the draft. However, the Panthers also have options outside of the draft in potential trades for Baker Mayfield and Jimmy Garoppolo. But Carolina doesn't have much draft capital, and Fitterer doesn't want to trade future picks.
