Willing to trade down “if”...


Reebis21

Recommended Posts

Trading down is not a sexy move by any means. However, with the possibility of Olsen going into the broadcasting booth and us not landing a quality CB and/or Safety in free agency, this team all the sudden has quite a few holes. 

CB, S, TE, OG, DE, RB...and WR for all the “Cam needs more weapons!!!” huddlers out there.

So given our current and possible situation going into the the draft, complete this sentence:

“Only way I’m trading down, is if _____ is/are off the board already.”

Then tell us what team u could see possibly trading with or what what players you might target once we trade down.

I’ll start off...

Only way I’m trading down, is if Josh Jackson and Will Hernandez are off the board already.

I could see a team like the Colts possibly being a good trading partner.

Panthers get- 36th (540 pts), 37th (530 pts), 178th (19.8 pts)

Colts get- 24th (740 pts), 55th (350 pts)

I’d be happy with any combo of Harrison/Reid, James Daniels/Billy Price or Mike Gesicki

We'll be willing to trade down, IF...we actually ever trade down.

 

Now...Trade up?  Yeah, I could see Hurney jumping up.  He's fighting for his job this year, doubt he gives a damn about future picks. He could be considering the comp pick for Norwell, too, and has (sadly) his history of trading future picks/jumping up.

There’s no cap space to take on two veteran contracts, if that’s what you mean. As for trading down for picks, Gettlleman could’ve done that the past four years and still got the guy he wanted. I’d take the OP’s scenario in a heartbeat, grab a CB, S, TE, OL/DE or WR/RB in no particular order. Just my opinion...

You want us to give up our first and 2nd for two 2nds? Yeah no thanks I’ll pass on that 

When u say it like that, I get it...but the whole point to my question was if certain players were already off the board...at that point, the next guy u might want could be had lower in the draft. Just like many ppl felt we could have traded down to get Shaq. I realize we would need a willing trading partner but there in lies the point of my original question.

The colts have 3 2nd rounders and might wanna jump up and scoop somebody that they know won’t fall to 36 or 37.

You don't build a successful team long term by trading out of the first round hoping you can hit needs in the early second. By definition you are reaching, as the chance that your top guy is also your top need is very slim, and those guys usually ends up to be borderline starters at best. 

I've lost count of all busts described with "we had a first round grade on him". 

If you can ransom someone because they really like a player at your pick, go head, but "value adds up for both teams" trade out of the first is basically never a good idea.

I think if we believe one of the top corners or safeties could start for us and be solid, we’d have to take them at 24. Unless there’s a huge run on QB before us, I doubt there’s a “must have” guy at 24, so yeah, I’d trade back in a second but the deal would need to be better than what you’ve proposed. Don’t like giving up 55.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
