Apparently the Panthers tried to trade up to 2 to draft Fournette

This story would be contradictory to the SI piece that came out. 

Supposedly, Pace made the only offer worth a call back, and the two teams were able to come to terms on an unofficial deal well before SF was on the clock (like early afternoon draft day) with the one condition being the 49ers could reject the deal if somebody blew them away with a last minute offer, which no one did.

Those types of talks happen all the time on draft day-that's why many teams take the whole time they're on the clock.

Without knowing more than this, you have no idea if Gettleman made a quick call to see if there was a cheap deal for moving up or if he was offering a package with Cam and Kuechly to move up. That's  hyperbole by the way.

      Panthers Wideout Retreat - TMac Vlog

      If Thielen’s mentorship leads to XL being a reliable pass catcher, it will be worth every penny of his contract. Ask yourself this, who else is going to help him? It’s a crowded room and every WR is fighting for play time. They don’t play this game for funsies. There is serious $ on the line for these dudes. They can’t afford to be buried on the roster come contract #2 time. This is their shot. I’m not saying the intentions are nefarious, but there is contract money riding on play time for these dudes.  Coker has #2 square is his sights. better believe that. Why would he help XL? Would you?  Moore? Nah. JAG.  Horn knows he’s a fringe WR. He used to hustle neighborhood kids in to racing growing up. I don’t see him being the helping kind.  Hunter? He’ going to be too busy battling Coker for the #3 spot.  There is literally no better person for the mentor role for XL than Thielen.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      but...isn't that sort of highlighting WHY we are moaning about AT?  Right now our primary weapon (based on offensive reps, targets, etc) is an old slow WR who we overpay that doesn't really get open nor do anything with the ball in his hands.  and we are at the bottom in spending in terms of pass catchers.  Maybe the front office shouldn't of arranged the roster so that it is only .....AT (debating retirement) and cast of unproven hopefuls youngsters.    I mean, the AT complaint is really not about AT.  It's about the front office.

      I'm encouraged and confident the Panthers won't be the worst team in the NFL next year.
