The information compiled by ESPN, assured that the general manager of the Carolina Panthers, Scott Fitterermet with Sam Darnoldand they let him know that there is a high probability that the team will get a Quarterback on the weekend of the NFL Draft.
“I mean, you want to recruit one and develop him to be his own. There is a cost effectiveness involved in it. And also, why are some quarterbacks available on the open market? you have to ask yourself that“said the Carolina executive.
At the moment, there is the possibility of choosing one of the best prospects in that position, these being Malik Willis of Liberty, and Penny Pickett from Pittsburgh, since they have not been satisfied with the performance of Darnold, third selection in the 2018 Draft.

On the other hand, although Fitterer did not say names, it is clear that they will also be analyzing the possibilities that exist of being done through a transfer, with Baker Mayfield of the Cleveland Browns, who has stepped into a supporting role with the arrival of Deshaun Watson, as well as Jimmy Garoppolo of the San Francisco 49ers.
“But, in the conversation that we had, I told him, ‘Hey, let’s add to this group [de quarterbacks] through the weekend, there’s a very good chance we’ll add this group,'” Fitterer said. “It’s an open competition. It’s his job for now, but whoever can win it and keep it, and we’re going to do that.“, he added.
The Panthers have the 6th overall pick in the Draft, and they don’t pick again until Round 4, at 137th, so finding a way to bring in Mayfield or Garoppolo will be tricky.
