Yeah I know, another thread (I created one about another report before the draft), but this seems to be coming up a lot. It will be interesting to see what we do. Posted this morning 15 min ago:

The Panthers have said goodbye to several players from the final years of Ron Rivera’s run as their head coach and other teams are reportedly calling to see if they’ll send another one packing during the draft.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that teams have contacted Carolina about potentially trading for wide receiver Curtis Samuel.

Samuel was a second-round pick in 2017 and is heading into the final year of his rookie deal. He was limited to 22 games over his first two NFL seasons, but appeared in every game last year and posted 54 catches for 627 yards and six touchdowns. He also ran 19 times for 130 yards and a touchdown.

The Panthers signed Robby Anderson, Seth Roberts and Pharoh Cooper as free agents to go with leading receiver D.J. Moore on the wide receiver depth chart.

An offer of a 1st next year and I would do it.  

Absolutely. Honestly I want to see what he does in the new offense, but if someone offered a 2nd or high 3rd I wouldn’t be upset with as many holes as we currently have. It all depends on what we plan to do, if he not In your long term plans, it’s good to go ahead and get value. We do have the Moton contract coming up, and we may not have enough room for a large contract. We could picks up a WR with the 2nd or high 3rd we get in return who could be just as talented and on a 4 year cheap contract. The team has said before that they don’t have any intentions of trading him, but we all know how that goes...

It'd have to be a sweet deal. We have no reason to get rid of him unless we just really want to. He has a ton of potential.

That's why it would need to be a 1st for me to sign off on it.  Anything less and I would just keep him and see how he does in the news offense.  But Hurney gonna Hurney.

Here's the irony of the whole situation: If Samuel is so "average" why are teams interested in trading for him?  It didn't say the Panthers were shopping him, but other teams are expressing interest.  I find it odd Samuel gets dumped on so much, but for some crazy reason other teams are interested in him.  So who's right, the Samuel haters or these other teams? :thinking:

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
