Yeah, a lot can change before the draft. I still think they know who they truly want and made that decision before making the trade. As for the trade itself, I feel a large part of it was done out of fear. It's a given that the Texans will take a QB and I think the FO was afraid another QB needy team would have traded with the Bears sometime before or just as soon as the draft started. That meant their preferred guy would have been gone between the first two picks, so they had to make the move up. The only thing that will make the Panthers change their pick is if they discover something like the guy is Mr Massage Jr or worse.

I've been saying that. All of it could be true or it could all be For the Texans, they might feel that leaking they love Young would get their division rivals(Indy) to jump to 1 and take Young while leaving them whoever they truly wanted. That makes sense if they think Young will bust and wanted to hurt a division rival. You don't move up to #1 unless you know who you want, so the Panthers really don't have a reason to try and trick teams. Are they really going to buy these "reports" that the Texans love Young when they know it's lying season and think they can fleece them for picks? This is real life, not the movies. That said, I could see Tepper and Co still thinking they are smarter than everyone else and trying to trick other teams. But all that shows is that they still haven't learned a blasted thing.

I don't think the pro days will change a thing and believe they were sold on one of the QBs before the combine and making the trade. The only reason to make the trade is if they were sold on a certain QB, decided he wouldn't be there after the first 2 picks, and knew the Texans wouldn't pass on a QB and would take whichever was available at 2 instead of trading their pick.
