Everyone likes to throw out the "trade down" scenario every season without regards to the fact that someone actually needs to want to trade up.  And in most years, it is nothing but a pipe dream.  However, with Denver being right behind us and definitely needing/looking to draft a QB, we are in a prime position for a trade back.  Someone in the early second round will want to move ahead to get a QB if one is still there.

I actually like this scenario this draft for us.

Also, that Gettleman has said he'd rather have "a buck instead of two dimes" or something. He has repeatedly said that he doesn't believe in trading down. Now I do believe he would trade down if there was a ridiculous offer, but those are really rare. A QB available in front of Denver could elicit that kind of offer, but I think a team could probably give up less and move up to the Cards or Chiefs spot instead of trying to get Gettleman to budge.

In lieu of trading down, perhaps he could be enticed to trade the pick away if he got a future first in return which would almost certainly be higher than 30 next season.

Sadly, unless Marty Hurney got a GM job somewhere else, that's not an easy thing to get.

If he's worth picking near the top of the 2nd round, he's just as worth picking with the 2nd-to-last pick of the 1st round.

Maybe we should trade that first rounder away and grab an early 2nd and an additional pick down the road?

The problem is that an unless it's an out of the park offer it's probably not worth it to lose the 5th year option that comes with 1st round picks and move back. It would have to be an early 2nd and an early 3rd or 4th for me to even consider moving down 3-5 spots and I doubt anyone is willing to give that up unless a team is desperate to get ahead of Denver for a QB.

I can think of several WRs I'd rather have who might be around in the second. A WR who is quick but not fast or physical with a small catch radius is super easy to acquire. The draft will be full of them. You want someone special in the first or second, but in G-man I trust. Maybe he just wanted a better look in case he fell.

If you don't think he's physical, you may want to actually watch him play at some point.  He's not Smitty fast, but 4.48 is some decent speed.

I've seen the usual youtube highlights but that doesn't reveal a lot. He doesn't stand out to me, but if you like him more power to you. Looks like the kind of guy who is going to get jammed, and covered like a blanket without separation, and his catch radius is pretty small. Not good. He'll get open the way Philly Brown likes to get open, using agility not pure speed. He's a change of direction guy, all about quickness. You can get that later in the draft. Not really a big deal. Just my opinion.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
