played? it’s literally a win/win/win for all three teams bears maximize the value of their pick, Houston secures their top guy for a modest pick toss and blocks a division rival out of a top guy, panthers still get a top 2 prospect with the compensation being a token bit smaller its the ideal scenario unless you believe there’s only one QB worth taking and the team clearly doesn’t feel that way

if I’m being honest I’ve got a hunch the Panthers like young more anyways fitterer was in on the Wilson draft

how refreshing would it be to finally be a fan of the team that didn’t have forces conniving and plotting against them to prevent their success

that’s not uncommon on draft night trades but I don’t think it would be the case here.

honestly Houston may be completely unwilling to work with Indy, I’d say rumors like this even existing are probably something you can read into if you’re speculating

Houston caring enough about having a specific guy is the biggest obstacle here, but there is a bit of motivation for them do so: scewing Indy over. they take a guy, we take a guy, colts get the scraps

this would effectively be a three team trade, if Chicago and Houston agreed to a deal there would already be a handshake agreement in place for a pick swap of 2 and 9. We couldn’t “screw them over,” the deals would be announced likely one after the other

what if the panthers don’t trade up, take a really fine LB, and he becomes a breakout star? they continue to wallow in the pits of mediocrity is the answer also lol “depth” which is the 53 positions on the roster don’t have to make bankable players before a team makes a run at a QB?

yeah this has been a thing around here for a while. People get so laughably consumed in whatever picture they saw or video they watched that it borders on an outright rejection of the evidence. It’s only outpaced by the medical savants who jump in to tell you whose being “rushed back.” he’ll probably end up coalescing at about that weight after an nfl offseason regimen

funny how quick the in-season “eff them picks” crowd starts to care A WHOLE WHOLE LOT about draft picks come the offseason

at this point I really do think they go 1-2

gotta pull the trigger now

If you have three QBs you like and don’t want to get poached it’s a good idea

are you fine with losing too

what are you talking about the teams sitting at 6 and 7, right now, are potential landing spots if they want a franchise QB they’re going to take one, again, to reiterate, nfl teams don’t undervalue the QB position like many posters here do

you have to trade ahead of teams that want QBs themselves, that’s the point my man

Williams and Maye will either be the concrete megatalents that people here treat them like they are and they will unequivocally be locked in as the top picks or one will regress to the mean and the anti-qb crowd will no longer want them and suggest we should wait for arch Manning it’s a law of nature

idk but I’m kinda ready to hear a trade has been finalized and we’ve moved up

it’s not about “making sure we draft a QB” it’s about making sure you get the best possible QB you can

his ethos

Gantt has always been a “Panthers need to know their place, do the safe thing and be happy trying to win 9 games” kind of guy he probably feels the big trade coming and is getting scared this is his form of damage control

I think they’ll definitely make a run at parris Campbell

“save the #9 pick” save it for what? there’s no better value for a top draft selection than to use it on a QB when you’re in need of one.
