Trade Up

Would you rather trade up in the 1st or the 2nd? Going off draft pick value alone:

1. Trading up in the 1st - Would cost us 1st, 2nd, and 3rd to get into Miami region (#11), or just a 1st and 2nd to get into Arizona territory (#15). I personally wouldn't be thrilled unless we took a Derwin James (I have extreme FSU bias, but, he's an amazing player). 

2. Trading up in the 2nd - Would cost us our 2nd and 3rd (depending on which we give) to get around Chicago (#39). This make sense if we see a RB, CB, or C/G falls. 

With two 3rds I would be shocked if we did not trade up. Just curious if you guys are in love with any players higher up on the board that would require a trade up.

i think our first and a third could net us Derwin and it's completely worth it. No point in trading up in second unless someone falls that shouldn't.

neither.  let the chips fall where they may.  we need impact players in too many spots to trade up

we aren't getting an impact player in the third and if you're depending on that, then you don't know football.

I just don’t see many players who we could plausibly trade up for. In addition the cost of trading up in a QB heavy draft is prohibitive. Going up for Derwin James at a position which the team doesn’t value doesn’t seem likely to me. Also we didn’t have him for a visit or meet with him that I know of. I just don’t see it. Trade down please if possible.

But there are impact players present in the third round.

 

Alvin Kamara's destruction of our defense is testament to that.

...and there is no guarantee we get one in the first either. 

That is the problem with trading up, people convince themselves they have found a sure thing.  When in reality there are no sure things in the draft.  So if you miss on the guy you traded up for have missed on all the picks you traded also.

I'm not saying you should never trade up, but you have to look at the odds.  Do you want to trade a 38% and a 14% chance for one 45% chance? <totally made up numbers but it illustrates my point

Also using our 3rd round pick (85) moves us up to about 18th, still not convinced we get Derwin there.

You could definitely get a RB in the 3rd to compliment CMC for example.  I'd call that an impact player and I bet you would too

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
