We are just over two weeks away from the 2022 NFL Draft on April 28 from Las Vegas.
While this draft doesn't bode many top quarterback prospects, many teams will still be looking for their new signal-callers. That includes three teams in the NFC South--Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers.
Adam Caplan, NFL Insider for FOX Sports Radio and Sirius XM Radio, joined the Midday Show on Tuesday to discuss which of the three teams in the south he thinks is most likely to draft a quarterback this year.
"Had you asked me a month ago, I'd say 'absolutely' Carolina taking a quarterback--Kenny Pickett. But, they have two major needs and they're both equal: left tackle and quarterback. They don't have a left tackle right now. My understanding is they would go--if they didn't get that left tackle in the first two rounds, they would go with Brady Christensen ... They're at (No.) 6 by the way. It would not surprise me if they trade down."
After running through the needs the Falcons and Saints have, it seems Caplan believes the Panthers would be the team most likely to draft a quarterback.
"But the value with quarterback really is not Top 10. I certainly wouldn't rule it out; they need a quarterback. They have to get one to compete against Sam Darnold at the very least."
