A trade I'd like to see tomorrow

First of all, no I typically don't like trading a future first for a current second.  However I think with the players left on the board and assuming we'll be picking around #32 next year (or at worst in the last 4 picks), I think that sort of trade makes sense for tomorrow.  

If we can trade next year's first for an early 2nd (like top 5) then I'd be satisfied there. Still happy if we can get Ogbah, Dodd or HHenry in the middle by trading next year's first. 

Here's I go off the rails a little. What I'd REALLY like to see is, assuming one of the three mentioned above is available, trading next year's first and our second to the Titans for their two middle seconds. I kinda doubt the value makes it realistic, basically saying our next year first is worth more than their middle second round pick enough to also swap our second with their third second, but if it could work out that could be great. If we could somehow land Ogbah or Dodd AND HHenry that would be outstanding. Assuming two of those three players aren't available, then getting one of the DEs plus a player like Shephard or another offensive player that wouldn't likely be available at #62 would also be nice.

patience. patience. A lot of talent is there. That doesn't sound like cause to trade up. It sounds like cause to stay put and see what happens. The henry's, sharp, dodd, ogbah, bell, Alexander, Spriggs, cravens, and ward are all on the board. All are good value at our pick and  positions of need. And one of them could very well be there.

Never trade away future 1st round picks.  Besides, no one available is worth it.  Tonight the boards fell the way the Panthers wanted it to fall.  Perhaps things will play out the same.  Let's not trade up for the sake of trading up.

Nothing about what I typed said trade up for the sake of trading up. I'm in fact interested in specific players because they can actually have early impact. I personally think Dodd, Ogbah or HHenry are easily worth first round picks. Maybe Gettleman does too, he just liked Butler even more. I'd be fine with just doing it like last year two, but the thought just occurred to me that we could get two mid round 2nds and keep our other rounds' picks while not giving up that much from what I assume our draft spot will be next year. If we pick 30 again, for example, and trade that one and our #62 for the Titans' second two 2nds (44 and 45 if I'm not mistaken? Somewhere around there) the overall draft positions are almost the same. 89 to 92, slightly in our favor.

Can't trade comp picks.  We could trade OUR 3rd rounder, but not the comp pick.  Even if comp picks could be traded, we couldn't trade next year's because we don't actually have it yet.

Pretty sure it can now be done, and has already been done.

Not that I'm aware of, but even still, we don't actually have a comp pick next year.  Yet.

The Eagles traded next year's comp pick in the package to move to #2. You trade the comp pick with a contingency in place if you don't get the pick you expect to.

You can trade compensatory picks now. As to your second point, the ideology goes that we know we have a 3rd incoming so we trade the future three we currently possess.

 

Still I don't see any players hangjng around who are worth a future 1st.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
