Fall of the QBs -Trading Down

I was listening to NFL Network last night (Monday morning EST) and I got the impression that some of these QBs might drop out of the first round.  Also that some of these teams might want to trade up from the early second round into the first to ensure they get a QB. 

 

This would be a prime spot for one of these teams to trade up.  We would obtain an extra pick(s) somewhere and still get a similar value.

 

I would definitely do this.

im guessing between houston, jacksonville, cleveland, oakland, tampa, minnesota, and potentially tennessee, st louis, and cincy - everyone will get their guy between the big four QBs. and if they dont they arent going to try scrambling by trading up to get plan B.

 

i'm also guessing a blue goose DL or one of those 10 WR/OT will be there for the picking at 28 and we're not gonna chance losing out on them by trading back 5+ picks.

Jax would be the prime target for us to trade with, in my mind anyway.  Everyone might be surprised with several of the named QB's still on the board that a guy like Tom Savage jumps in front of some guys

I've also heard that if certain QB's fall to pick #31or #29, Denver or New England, either are rumored to possibly take one in the 1st to start grooming for the future exit of Manning or Brady. Could just be a smokescreen but the possibility might be enough for one of the early 2nd round teams to want to get in front of New England. Good for us and I would do it without hesitation. The talent level aavailable at 28 should still be there at 33 - 38 if need be.

If only one or two QBs are gone by 26, we could definitely emerge as a trade partner if someone in the 2nd wants to ensure themselves Carr, Bridgewater, Bortles, etc.  I think Manziel goes in R1 but if he's somehow available at 28, you gotta think that would be the most appealing scenario for other teams.

I'm thinking this is a likely scenario if any of the top 3 are sitting there when we pick. If we got and early to mid 2nd and another early to mid 3rd that would be absolutely amazing. 4 starters right there.

I would be for it, if we get a third. All depends on Cleveland, if they take Johnny at 4, other QBs might fall and Panthers get a call. Otherwise, every team will try and get ahead of Cleveland at 26, so 25 will be the trade down spot.

I read on PFT the other day that several teams have told Bridgewater they will trade into the mid to late 20's to take him (I'll have to look for the link). Honestly, I think this is hoping to be a very good draft for us. Two things will work in our favor. 1. QB's that everyone likes, but unsure of drafting high. This could mean a trade back scenario or teams freak out if one or two go early causing them to pass on better players. The problem I see with the trade back scenario is I don't know how open G-man would be to it. He's consistently talked about the "process." I remember a while ago he said something about the dangers of trading picks. At the time, everyone assumed he meant trading up. He may have meant either way. The Panthers staff has spent the past 4 months or so looking at pick number 28 and doing their research on projections for that pick. If you trade back, it's puts you in the unknown of sorts. You may have to take chances on players you know less about. Just a thought. G-man seems like the type who believes in hard work and his team's research.

The other thing that may help us is the fact that our needs are two of the deepest positions in the draft. I wonder if teams will pass on WR's and LT's for other positions knowing they can get talent in later rounds.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
