Matt Miller: many sources around league believe Panthers will attempt to "tank" for Trevor Lawrence

Why would the Panthers let it be known they're tanking? Why would even be a talked about strategy? If they're tanking it's just going to be acquiring assets. Trying to actively "tank", lose games, isn't something that really happens in the NFL, and when you do you often find yourself playing your way out of the pick as it's always a case of any given Sunday.

I'll believe it when Christian Mccaffrey is traded. Trai Turner being traded straight up for Okung isn't anything other than a smart gamble in my opinion.

If this is the goal then you acquire as many TRADEABLE assets as possible in the event that you don’t lose enough games (ala Miami). So...Hurney has already failed in not getting any tradeable assets for one of our only pro bowlers. Therefore...it’s almost a 100% chance we are trying to tank for Trevor.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
