Why trading up in 2026 is a bad idea.
LinvilleGorge replied to DaveThePanther2008's topic in Carolina Panthers
We have way too many needs to trade up. There will be good prospects available throughout that also fit a need. If you had a crystal ball that could predict future All-Pros and HOFers, sure. But there's no sure things in the draft. Great prospects bust every draft and some mid to late rounders end up being very good pros. -

If Tyson is the BPA at #19 I hope the phones are ringing. -
Absolutely LOVED Smitty as a player. Who didn't? But Smitty the person, yeah... not so much. Unfortunately all those things that made us love him as a player had no off switch. He was basically the exact same person off the field that was on the field and that's obviously just not gonna work well in polite society.

In terms of absolutely sucking at personal interaction, Gettleman and Smitty are about equals. Well, I'd still give the slight edge to Gettleman in that he can hold it together and be friendly and witty conversationally but how they choose to handle tense situations proves they're both basically just assholes at their core.

Plotting out a draft plan to take specific positions by round sounds like some fever dream perfect poo storm of past Panthers GMs. -

The bad news is that we have too many needs to address then all in the first three picks. The good news is that we shouldn't feel compelled to reach. There will be prospects at or near the top of our board that also fill a need throughout the draft. -
We've always known he was an immature jerk. We could find excuses to look past it when he was performing heroics on the field.

Caldwell is a classic workout warrior. Hell, at least XL actually had one year of good college production. Caldwell has 478 receiving yards in his D1 career. And this was with the #2 ranked QB in this year's transfer portal. I doubt I'd even have him on my draft board. -

We'll see. Literally no one would've pegged Tom Brady as generational. Caleb Downs is the best safety prospect I've seen in... well, probably a generation. -

I've been confused for awhile why this guy is being considered a mid-round pick by virtually everyone. His measurables with 17 sacks over the past two seasons (8.5 in each) usually puts you at least in 1st round considerations and pretty much a lock to go in the 2nd. -

How did this guy do practically nothing in college? https://www.nfl.com/prospects/david-gusta/32004755-5341-3041-f9eb-f40816a84e1f He's having a pretty damn ridiculous combine. Most were projecting him as a UDFA but he might get himself drafted in the late rounds with this stellar combine. -

I still have nightmares about Vernon Davis. They beat us in OT his last year of college in probably his best college game. It felt like watching Julio Jones in "that game". Like how in the fug is this big ass TE just streaking down the field wide ass open as if he's faster than all of our DBs??? Then came the Combine and it was like, oh... because he was indeed faster than all our DBs. LOL
