I fail to understand why a team would trade up 1 spot. Just seems like you are giving away picks for nothing. Has to be something that I am not seeing.

Team A: Has the pick

Team B: Wants the pick but is farther back than team A wants to go but they might do it.

Team C: Doesn't want Team B to jump them so they make a trade with Team A to get their player and not get jumped.

Jags are doing work. Shored up the defense in free agency, then mess around and get Fournette and Cam Robinson. They look like world beaters on paper with the exception of Blake Bortles

Now that they are helping their oline and got a great back, Bortles will be much better

because JAX believed another team was going to trade with SEA for the player JAX wanted to take at the next pick

A better RB with more skills? I can't disagree.

A physical back-up that is closer to what Stew can do? I disagree.

I mean, if we are drafting a back-up and eventual replacement, i'd like them to be able to do AT LEAST what Stew can. That is a lot to ask though and a majority of Panther fans take what Stew can do for granted.

Side note: My wish of having Cam Robinson is ruined.

Other teams probably call to trade up to that spot. For example a team at 55 calls the team at 32 in front of 33 to get their guy. Team at 33 doesn't want to be jumped so they trade up a spot

Makes sense. Not sure I would have traded up for that particular player, but c'est la vie.

I agree. Blake Bortles has all of the tools. His decision making is questionable but he can improve that over time. They are in a position to possibly contend this season, and with the Texans QB questions, might be the favorite to win that division.

      I honestly think XL will step up this year. Drafting another WR will be great for competition and I think his best days are ahead

      Bryce has a horrible rookie year Huddle: poor guy needs an o line and some wr Panthers get him an o line and wr Half the huddle: man he sucks since he can't do anything without an o line or wr ( even tho all world mahomes looked mediocre with no o line and only a hof te and mediocre wr - even tho they've drafted a wr in the 1st, 2 in the 2nd and 1 in the 4th in the last 4 years)

      The Panthers upgraded the offensive talent so that the PANTHERS could win football games. The offense now a ton of talent and DEPTH. Ask any coach/GM if they could have a dominating offense or defense which would they choose? Of the 2, it’s offense all day. Eagles don’t sniff the SB without Barkley. Home run hitter. 3 and out insurance policy. Defense stays fresh. It’s not the other way around. Far more games are won converting on thirds than stops on third. Dominating defenses are there to seal the deal.  2003 went from SB to suck from losing their WR1. 2005 was an almost. 2015 went from dominating to never again. Never a back to back winning season. Revolving door coaches. No true offensive depth and talent, EVER.  Now that the offense looks loaded, the same fans who pounded the table for #1 to get some DUDES again remind everyone how misused and cheated he was… well he was and everyone knows it. The coaching was bad. System. Talent…. Bad, except for a few players. Bad. Could he have developed in to a more complete player with better everything. Yes…. But good lord get over it. This is not righting the wrongs of the past because that is not possible. This is trying to win games in the NFL, the way everyone else is doing it.  Will BY throw for more yards and TDs this year than Cam did in 2015. Very likely. But so what. I hope he does. I hope all of Cam and Jakes records are obliterated one day because it will likely mean the Panthers are winning more football games. To feel otherwise is obtuse.  Defense was not and is not being ignored. What Dan and Dave have accomplished in 2 off seasons with the offense is nothing short of a miracle. They obviously know what a grown ass football player looks like. What logical reason is there that indicates they can’t/won’t do the same on defense.
