Staying put vs trading up

[AU-panther]

I know a lot of people feel like we gave up too much to move up in the second so I decided to look at what was drafted after our original spot in the 2nd, pick 57.

Wide Receiver:

Tyler Lockett 3(69)

Jaelen Strong 3(70)

Chris Conley 3(76)

Sammie Coates 3(87)

OT

Robert Havenstein 2(57)

Ty Sambrailo 2(59)

Jamon Brown 3(72)

Chaz Green 3(91)

I'm not usually a huge fan of moving up, especially an expensive move like yesterday. I thought we might move up in the later rounds with our extra picks but giving up a 3rd surprised me.

After seeing how the board was falling and what was left the decision is more understandable.

Some years the board falls in your favor and in others it does not.

I'm loving our picks, now for at least one OT

I love it that we moved up. I was so sick of just doing the boring and conservative thing and just "staying put" people have to understand that we have a pretty stacked roster already and honestly we just don't have a lot of needs. In other words we are a team that has enough of talent already we can afford to lose a couple picks to move up. We aren't a team like the talent starved Browns or Jags that need every single draft pick we can get.

I'm glad Gettleman showed he had a pulse and made a splash. I just could not stomach another defensive player, oh and guess what, even AFTER that trade we still had 7 picks in this draft. Darin Gannt, he's about the most cynical and negative person on the Panthers as you can get and even he liked the trade and the player we got.

The guy we missed in the third was Karl Davis. He could have been a great addition. But I don't like too many guys that went right after our original second rounder.

We were never going to be able to absorb nine rookies onto this roster. Unless you are rebuilding from scratch you use your picks to do what DG just did.

I still don't buy that. It's not like we have world beaters at every position.

I feel the same way.

Would've been interesting to see if Funchess would've been there at 57 though.

But yeah, after seeing who was going in the 3rd, I feel like we'll get similar value here in the 4th

I think we have too many needs to trade up again. Addressing OT and RB is a must, and I would love to see a SS, CB, DT, WR or DE. I know we can't fix all these spots in 1 draft but I think we just have too many needs to have less than 7 overall picks.

Why have your picks go to waste if you think you will just end up cutting those players? At least now they were put to better use in moving up.

I bet if dave had to answer this honestly; would you have stayed @57 if you knew strong would be there? He'd say yes.

yea in Gettleman i trust, but i am hoping the BPA gods throw us a bone here and let us draft a serviceable OT project today.

only Gettleman doesnt draft according to need... especially not the perceived needs we fans think our team has

[CarolinaNCSU]

I'm hoping we trade up again today. Package our 4th and 5th to jump into the early part of the 4th.

We need to get Daryl Williams and this will be a A + draft!
