Trade up? Carolina Panthers more likely to trade down (possibly out of the first round)

About 2 weeks back, I started considering this, the amount of picks we have is a bit high, but it doesn't mean moving back can't be beneficial. I think we move back into the early second, and the pick we get (I'm guessing 4th), we parlay into a move for the second pick of the second. I'm getting to believe it'll be Shaq Thompson and Jake Fisher, 2 great 2nd round talents.

With the knowledge we have about gettleman and his drafting philosophy, this seems pretty obvious

 

Things we have done with Gettleman as GM:

 

Traded up

 

Things we haven't done with Gettleman as GM:

 

Traded down

I didn't realize we had traded up in the first round. I must've missed that

 

I didn't say first round, but to say that we can deduce Gettleman's philosophy on it is silly. He's explicitly stated that he doesn't believe in trading down. Maybe he will, maybe he won't, but he certainly hasn't presented any clues that he likes to trade down in the draft.

In the first round, I'm fairly confident in saying that he would rather trade down than up. The risk is far less in later rounds

I think we'll sit tight and make a pick at #25. Dave has said in the past that he's not a fan of trading a quarter for two dimes.

The difference I see is if he doesn't see anyone worth the quarter he's going to spend..

      I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

      By 45catfan · Posted

      So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.

      I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.

      Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
