Trade up for a Safety in round 2?

While that’s tempting, I think Reid, Harrison, or Bates will fall. I want to leave tonight with  a safety, a CB, and maybe a OL stud. 

I think that would be a solid first two days. 

 

Still very worried about what happens if Olsen gets hurt though. Panthers don't have another NFL caliber TE on the roster.

I think carolina trades up but doesnt have to trade up as far as they think.  I think they sit and watch until 1 or 2 of their targets come off the board, then they make a move.

Yeah, I can't see a 15 place jump, too expensive. Thinking 5 spots. A trade twinkie to satisfy Hurney's craving.

I would be really pleased trading up for a starting safety. This is the range where we might expect Harrison and Reid to represent good value much better than the mid-twenties.

 However if we could somehow get Josh Jackson I would be ecstatic. This is a guy who was top 15 pre-mock. Unlikely but I dare to dream.

If I’m Hurney I’m keeping the picks I have and taking Bates, Reid, Hernandez if he makes it. I’m then contacting the Ravens to see if they’d take a late round pick for Maxx Williams. Not sure what has happened to that guy but he was every bit the TE talk of the draft that Hayden Hurst was and they just took Hurst in rd 1 signaling Williams may be done in BALT.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
