TRADE: Carolina receives 3rd overall pick from Miami in exchange for 8th overall pick, 72nd overall pick, 2022 first-round pick.

The Panthers showed some promise in Year 1 of the Matt Rhule era and the next phase of the rebuilding process for Carolina is finding its next franchise quarterback. In striking distance to land an exciting new option, the Panthers should be thinking about a move up the board. With Miami being only one year removed from drafting Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 5 overall selection and earning the No. 3 pick courtesy of the Laremy Tunsil trade and a poor season from the Texans, trading back to build the talent around Tagovailoa is a wise move. The Dolphins and Panthers are perfect trade partners. Wilson is a dynamic quarterback prospect that fits nicely with how the NFL game is trending and would provide Carolina with a potential difference-maker at the position. With a fairly complete set of weapons already in place and all the investments made on the defensive side of the football, Carolina is ready to pick a quarterback high in the draft.

Honestly I think you could get away with 2021 #8 and #40 to make that trade and now worry about 2022.

We really don't need a new thread for every new mock draft that gets released

100% disagree. There are going to be a lot of teams gunning for that pick and a future 1st will be a bare minimum. 

Denver, San Francisco, New England, Detroit, Washington, Chicago are all candidates to trade up, IMO. There are so many QB needy teams and this is a very, very valuable draft to snag a QB.

Do they know Hurney has gone .

That looks like the sort of disastrous trade he would make

Yeah, because we need more threads about Teddy's post game comments or every new GM candidate. 

It's the offseason, I suggest you hibernate if you don't want to see reach threads.

If its for our franchise guy who will win SBs, then its worth it.

 

kinda annoying beating Washington cost us a 1st round pick .. 

[Growl]

we need to start looking to stockpile an additional 2

An additional 1st isn't necessarily necessary, and I think 5 may very well be good enough, not 3

Dumb move.  We will have to move up to #2 to get Fields or Lawrence.  Wilson may go right behind those two guys to a QB desperate team, but not because he's on the same tier as them.  Moving up to #3 to secure Wilson would be crazy.

I think a lot is going to depend on how all these QB evaluations pan out. There is a pretty big pool of first round caliber QB's(Lawrence, Fields, Wilson, Lance, Jones, Trask). Does a guy like Wilson or Lance fall? Does Fields fall? Does Jones shoot up the boards? 

It's really tough to say at the moment. These boards are 98% pure speculation and less about actual in depth evaluation and mining team sources. I will say that TDN does some of the best prospect evaluation around, IMO.

Yep, the same people who didn’t want us to tank might be ok with trading up. There’s a reason why us tankers didn’t want to win any games. Wouldn’t it be nice to have pick 3 already and also be able to keep pick 72 and 2021 first? I mean if we were playoff teams already like KC and Houston were, trading a future first to get the one piece (QB) you needed isn’t a bad trade off, especially when you feel that future first will be a late first. I don’t think our 2021 pick will be a late first so honestly I don’t want to trade up unless we can get Fields or Wilson and we feel like they are our new healthy Cam.

Brutal.

Guess they haven't looked at the rest of the roster if they think we can afford to give up that much Draft capital.
