Draft Note by John Paulsen
Mayfield gets a fresh start in Carolina, where he’ll (in theory) compete for the starting job in training camp with Sam Darnold. I expect he’ll win the job and post serviceable numbers for the Panthers. He was the QB18 in 2020 prior to a QB23 finish last season, though he dealt with some injuries. The weapons in Carolina are pretty solid. D.J. Moore is a solid WR1 and Christian McCaffrey is arguably the best receiving back in the league.
