I'd rather have a dollar than three dimes

Dave Gettleman uttered these words during his first draft with the Carolina Panthers and i think you can truly  see the meaning behind those words now.

Gettleman has added an unbelievable amount of young talent during his first two drafts here in Carolina. This has now put the Panthers in a decision where they can trade up if they see a player that they like and boy have they done that. I am excited to see the next two picks and boy am i excited for the season. Keep pounding

For how far down Carolina was in each round. Can't be mad at the trades and what we came away with. A playmaker on D. An alien WR. And a big mean RT to bulldoze people.

Right now we got 70¢. I think I'll was t and see how the players fit in and play, before saying DG is 3 for 3.

He went into detail on this again today. Beyond the obvious drop in talent that comes with trading down, he implied that he's probably never going to trade out of the first because you lose the 5th year option on contracts with players drafted below round 1.

He's going to drive a Huddle contingent crazy, but we are seldom if ever going to move down.

[AU-panther]

If I'm not mistaken his original currency conversion comment was in reference to trading down as opposed to staying put.

This draft he traded up, which sometimes can turn 3 quarters into 50 cents.
