'Carolina's preference to select a quarterback in the 2022 NFL Draft at No. 6 overall is beginning to look like the draft's worst kept secret,' writes JustinM_NFL. FrontOffice33 | KeepPounding
. The Panthers have certainly done their homework on this year's crop of signal-callers. Fitterer, Head Coach Matt Rhule, and other front-office and coaching staff members attended the pro days of Willis, Pickett and Corral on consecutive days. All three quarterbacks are expected to make top-30 in-person visits to Carolina's facilities in mid-April.
Last year's swing-and-miss trade for former Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has seemingly blown up in the Panthers’ faces. Darnold was brought to Carolina as a high-upside reclamation project, but failed to take the desired steps forward. Darnold struggled with injury and his performances were unfortunately eerily similar to the ones that drove him out of New York in first place. In 12 regular-season appearances, Darnold completed just 59.
Fitterer's comments were surprisingly transparent for a league that's filled with decision-makers that typically use a bunch of words and syllables to say absolutely nothing of note. The draft is mercilessly and swiftly approaching and we're certainly in the middle of ‘#LyingSeason’ where teams take advantage of public opportunities to throw fellow contenders off their scent. But believing the Panthers feel the need to force a quarterback fit isn’t particularly hard.
Carolina currently doesn't have their original second-, third-, or fourth-round picks after previously dealing them away in exchange for Darnold and cornerback C.J. Henderson. It's a situation that severely limits Carolina's ability to trade up into the top-five of the draft, which means they are likely facing a stick-and-pick scenario at sixth-overall.
