Bill Barnwell speculation: Panthers trade up with Jaguars

The only trade I wouldn't mind seeing in this draft is the one where we trade down for more picks in the first two rounds/top of the third. That's only if the top DEs are off the board, and nothing really jumps out at us as a BPA at that point.

 

Any instance where we trade up would be flat out stupid.

IDK, I think there is an argument to be made for trading up to get "can't miss" guys like Bosa, Williams, Allen, etc. Maybe even a small trade up for guys like Ed Oliver, Sweat, Gary, etc if you are big believers in them. 

But, given our relative needs, I am not going to say it would be a very strong argument.

all this trade up talk I'd rather see a trade down.

I think that just depends on what our board looks like and how the picks fall. Trading up might be the best move and trading down might be the best move. Looooooots of variables with us being at #16.

Congrats on beating Man City.

The only way you even consider something this drastic is for a franchise QB prospect.  Anything else is just lunacy.

Eh...given the prices for elite pass rushers, I am not sure I would agree. The draft capital we would have to give up to get a top tier guy this year is probably well, well past what is reasonable for us. For a minor trade up(1-3 spots) for a guy we loved, it might not be exorbitantly expensive in draft capital to obtain. 

As I said, given our varied needs(starting FS, CB2/nickel, backup OL, potential starting LT/RT, potential starting LG, LB, DE, DT, etc) I don't see it as a very reasonable option to give up something like our 2nd and/or 3rd rounders to move up. We will likely need those 2nd and 3rd rounders much more than we will need whoever we would be trading up to get. But I wouldn't say that it would be an outlandish scenario for every team. We probably just aren't that team given the previously listed needs.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
