Panthers more likely to trade down now?

Fitterer’s background has been more in college scouting. His input helps Seahawks GM John Schneider determine the team’s ratings of college draft prospects. That has helped Schneider have enough of a feel for the draft board to make several trades down, which has allowed the Seahawks to average more than 10 draft choices a year.

It seems Fitterer is a fan of trading down and accumulating pics. 10 draft choices a year. 

 

Pretty much the anti-Hurney.

I've always thought that pro athletes are so close in talent level that a scattershot approach can be better for a team like the Panthers that are extremely devoid of talent. A guy like Hurney could top off a really good team with some premium 1st round guys

If there isn't a QB that we are truly confident in at #8 then I have even said we should trade back a little and pick up an extra pick or two and start plugging these gaps we have on the OL and secondary.

It pains me to say it, but we may just have another year of Teddy Three Thumbs at QB....unless we get creative.

I believe Seattle has/had the highest number of undrafted free agents for many years. I think at one point they had like 22 UDFAs on the roster in season. Depending on the draft they view no diffenerce between late 5th and UDFAs. They also give "REAL" competition to players, money and draft place didnt matter. Only Pats and Seattle said and followed though with this, many others lie about this. Agents knew this and they preferred UDFAs signing with them.

I agree, I want Trey Lance but if the team doesn’t like him or any other QB at #8, trading down is the best option. It’s our most glaring need right now.  0-8 while having the ball with a chance to tie/win is just... not okay

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
