Could the Carolina Panthers trade up (or down) for Christian McCaffrey?

The more I think about it, the more likely I am starting to think the Panthers may be trading up , or even trading down, to grab McCaffrey. 

McCaffrey would fit a number of needs on the team. This goes against him being a "situational player" as some have put it. If he is a 3rd down back, a receiver, a punt and kick returner.... isn't he on the field in more situations than most? 

Throw in the fact that the Panthers just hired his running backs coach at Stanford to replace RIcky Proehl. Who else in the NFL would know exactly what McCaffrey's strengths and weakenesses of and how to use him properly? 

Not to mention the reports of how much time and resources the Panthers had on hand at Stanford pro day. That was far more than just a Solomon Thomas show. 

The kid is just a pure football player with a pedigree. Do want.

The biggest thing that concerns me abot McCaffrey is his lack of strength. I think he about 10 reps of 225 lbs, that doesnt lead to a lot of breaking tackles or stiff arms to get extra yardage...

But that's why we have Stewart. McCaffrey Is just a multi tool that we can utilize in the passing game. It's a bonus, he has all season to bulk up and gain strength with his awesome cast of NFL trainers that'll make sure that 10 rep bench will turn into a 20 rep bench by the end of the season.

I have no clue what we ultimately do but I agree he checks off a number of boxes. He would be our version of Wes Welker who can run the ball as well. He instantly fill a bunch of needs. I still like Howard at 8 but if he isn't there McCaffrey would instantly improve the offense.

I like McCaffrey I just don't want them to trade down. I think we could get Howard and then trade back into first rd to get McCaffrey.

      That does sound familiar. Those fans are deep. In snow lol. you don’t want to be up there in January.   I would think they have probably seen it all. Except what…  the championship? Gotta feel for them.

      I thought he was from watching him play and also doing his first HC job. I thought he was the real deal  Apparently what happened is Kraft committed to Mayo and I don’t remember the timeline exactly - but Vrabel was unemployed at the same time Belichick was unemployed. They both were fired (or out) after the 2023 season.  Kraft hired Mayo. Who was kind of an obvious disaster. He probably already had the deal in place but I will give Kraft credit for not sleeping. With Vrabel out there for 2025 he made the move he needed to make and if it hurt Mayo’s feelings then oh well.  I guess you can tell I am not fond of Kraft but that was a really savvy move. At his age, pretty good. Still has it.

      It’s going to feel like a home game for the bills. There are so many of their fans that live down here now, and many of them have never seen Allen play in person since their last visit was 8 years ago. It didn’t matter for the cowboys game, but it might here. I think we likely lose a close one. Probably a questionable flag or two that doesn’t go our way. X factor for Buffalo will be Kincaid and Knox. If we do win it’s because we get ahead and play keep away from Allen. FYI- I have many friends who are Bills fans that are fed up with Beane who we all revere and think is the one that got away. They feel like he was great to land Josh but has done a terrible job of building around him (especially at WR) and rely on him to become super man to win- sounds kind of familiar, like the last time we had a franchise QB.
