Trade down opportunities were there

[Mr. Scot]

Per Tiffany Blackmon on NFL Network, there were teams calling and offering the Panthers trade down deals.

The Panthers chose to stick with McCaffrey at eight.

95% positive it the was the giants who wanted to take mahomes.

They obviously really believe and value him. I agree 100% with their decision. Just wait, he is going to be phenomenal for Cam and our offense. What a dangerous check down option for Cam! Can't wait to see how much our offense evolves and improves.

I'm fine with it either way. Glad they got the guy they wanted in the end.

But how far? Remember 2 different picks can change where players fall. We might not get him and the next two players on our big board depending on how far we drop.

I'm a huge fan of Gettleman's anti-trade down philosophy.

That Chiefs trade would have been money, 2 1st rounders is hard press to pass up

Side Note: I see our resident McC hater Barry finally pissed someone off enough to get himself banned.

What is this love fest with Mahomes? I watched some game tape of his and I didn't see any zip on any of his throws. He's got a noodle arm that not even Clausen or Teddy can match.

We have a team on the cusp, the whole trading down philosophy is for teams desperate to fill multiple key roles.

If anything move up. Guarantee yourself that you are going for a starter and not just some guy that you're drafting to say you filled a need.

[AceBoogie]

No need to trade down when your guy is there. The draft works itself out for you to get your guy then you don't risk that. 

[Mr. Scot]

Max Henson's piece from inside the war room makes it clear there was no hesitation.

I knew the pick came in with five minutes left. The time that was taken off the clock was used to call and talk to McCaffrey.

Article also confirms that Gettleman didn't even take the calls that came in. He just told his assistant to say no.

Gman said in last nights presser that the phone was ringing with offers, but he said no, turn in the card
