Cryptic Voth tweet

#Panthers sure are looking at plenty of guys who may not make it to No. 25. Hmmmm.

Methinks Voth is in a mischievous mood.

They looked a lot at Star when he obviously wasn't gonna fall to 13

Possible, but I'm not banking on it.  Didn't Gettleman make the point a while back that guys who try to make big draft trades try to look smart but often end up looking like an idiot for nothing?

[Salvo]

Even though draft pundits act like they know everything, they don't. Someone always drops and it's up to the teams to do enough research so they aren't caught off guard by a gift falling to them...especially for teams that go by the BPA mantra...

[Jeremy Igo]

They do every year.

Due diligence.

You never know which player will drop.

You never know when someone will call offering to move down.

[chknwing]

I swear if getty trades up to take gurley I will lose my poo

[Dex]

Due diligence. Move along.

Bingo.  Never know who may be there.  Also, picking up two comp picks does give us a little flexibility.  One of these guys we're looking at who "won't make it to 25" is still on the board starting at about #20 or so, then we can think about jumping up a couple spots.  Just too costly to move up into the top half of the 1st round when you're sitting at #25, but moving up a couple of spots if a guy you love slips?  Yeah, that's possible.

Gettleman values his picks too much ...if anything with the depth in this draft ...if our guy is not there he'd move us down to the second pick in the 2nd round and get an extra 3rd and maybe a 5th. Which he could combine along with our original 5th to move up into the 4th netting us another pick there ... leaving us with (2) Second Rounders, (2) Third, (2) Fourth, (2) Fifth (comp), (1) Sixth, (1) Seventh. Draft Day Costner Style. j/k

 

No..In all seriousness, just giving players their due. atleast I think.... that being said, you never know who will slide... if you look at our drafts under DG ...Star, Kawann, Kelvin, Kony .. with the not including Kelvin (kinda)... all are picks you wouldn't generally think would still be on the board. Although, he does have his 1 mid round reach per draft ..draft  i.e.. Kug, Boston.  I still stand behind his process. Hell, Kug could be healthy for all we know next season..

I saw somewhere that gettleman made a comment how the extra comp picks give them flexibilty to move up in the draft. While they can't trade the comp picks they could easily move other picks knowing they have so many other picks to rely on. He showed last year he's not afraid to do that for bene. Plus they have done such a good job finding value with udfa players, how many rookies can realistically make the roster.

Trade our 1st, 3rd and 5th for like pick 15? Sure. We still have 7 picks and likely a few udfa guys that will make the roster

On a similar note, I happened across this tweet (though it doesn't seem too reliable):

@NFLDraftBites

#Panthers Had numerous discussions teams sitting 17-20 about trading up. Conventional wisdom they're targeting Left Tackle they covet.
