Panthers wouldn't have traded down even for a future 1st?

There was never any chance the Panthers would move down from 7. The media just needed some talking points for a few days. Group think had set in.

Thanks for telling us this four days later

This is great news. I'm glad for once we stuck to exactly what we wanted and didn't waiver from it.

Whatever a team did in the Draft is always exactly what they intended to do and their plans always fell into place perfectly.

Funny how that works out.

They've already begun doing work on next year's class. They obviously didn't see an inside presence as dominant as Derick Brown there next year.

The choice of words is telling. He didn't "think" we would trade "if" they had offered next year's first. As in, next year's first wasn't on the table but he is assuming in the hypothetical scenario that they did offer it, the Panthers wouldn't have traded. That sounds like the type of meaningless headline that gets touted like fact here at the huddle.

It's possible the Bucs put out feelers, offered what they thought was a competitive offer, like their 2nd and a 2021 3rd, we laughed and they threw up their hands and said "They didn't even bother countering a really generous offer. Seems like even if we offered a future first they wouldn't have taken that!"

2nd - 4th best player in the draft was there at 7 representing incredible value and at the same time filling the biggest gaping hole on the team.

Wonder why we didn't move?

Ya don't pass up drsfting good players.

We need t-shirts that say, "We will not go down."

Men's sizes only.

That was my perverted neighbor

Now, NAS brings up a good point.  Why did we not know that we were not trading down.  If I am not mistaken, we even said we might be interested in "acquiring more picks."

Now flash back to Marty Hurney in Oregon, watching Herbert.  We met with Jeudy.   We were smokescreening,  only taking ganders at OFFENSIVE players.

Well played, Panthers.  Well played.

Interesting tidbit from Peter King who was practically embedded with the Bucs in their draft room.  Bucs were apparently frustrated of not being able to move up in the top 10.  Here's the quote that draws interest:

"With Peter King of NBC’s Football Morning in America virtually embedded in the Bucs’ draft room (via a tablet in Licht’s house), he got a peek at the dealings.

After a round of 30 pre-draft calls, he had a sense of how things were going to go, and the way the first six picks in the draft fell, it became clear it was going to be tough.

Why was it so obvious to everyone that Panthers were in love with Derrick Brown and wouldn't even entertain a trade offer?  For the record, I'm glad we drafted Brown but it bothers me that everyone knew who we were taking. 

They had a freaking video made for him before the draft, of course they we're in love with him. Never seen an NFL team be so high on a nose tackle they had a video made, and refused 2 1sts.

Jesus, their GM is worse than Hurney.
