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

It all depends on who's there at 25. I'd agree trading down is more likely than up.

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.

I think we should if we get the chance. I would want a 3rd round pick

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

They want to trade back along with the rest of the NFL; Eagles, Falcons, and maybe Browns, and Jets only teams I've heard thinking about moving up.

Traded up

 

Things we haven't done with Gettleman as GM:

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

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.

Would be a great draft to trade down. The #15 to #50 prospects are all pretty even. Problem is everyone is going to be wanting to trade down too, so it's going to be harder to get a good deal from our trade partner

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

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