Draft Night Trade Scenario: A 1st Rd pick next year or [Insert top Prospect]?

[firefox1234]

With all the whispers about the Panthers trading down I’m curious what you all would do in such a scenario if a top blue chip prospect like a Fields fell to 8 and a team like the Pats, Broncos, or some other team wanted to move up with the offer of their 1st round pick next year. 

Would you guys rather stay put and select or trade out and get another teams 1st next year?

It depends on how far back we are willing to move. If we are only moving a couple of spots back, it's unlikely we'll get a future 1st round pick, different story if we are moving back 10+ spots. I think it's more valuable to try and get a 2nd round pick out of this year's draft if we are to move back. I suspect if Fields is there at 8, Panthers have an auction to the highest bidder. If Sewell, Pitts, Chase and possibly Slater are gone before pick 8, Panthers for sure would move back.

Depends on the team and how far back in the first round the Panthers would fall. If you're talking somewhere in the 12-15 range, that's a huge win. Outside of that, you are risking having two first round picks next year that are outside the top 15.

I’m of the same opinion. There are some really talented Gus this year in positions of need and would really only be tempted to move back for a high price.

The Ringer's mock draft had an interesting trade.  Drops a little further than I'd like (trade with Washington), but could be a nice haul...

Projected trade: Washington trades nos. 19, 74, and 82, plus a 2022 first-round pick, to the Panthers for no. 8 overall. 

Getting 74 & 82, PLUS a 1st rounder next year, while still maybe getting the #3 or 4 OT on our board (this scenario has Vera-Tucker and Jenkins left) or CB at 19 would be nice.

Trade back with the Redskins

They are not a good team and picking 19th due to winning the division( I think).  They might be a top 5 pick next year.

Been saying this for weeks.  Only to get crap emojis

I also believe that there are only 3 can't miss prospects outside of the QB position, Pitts, Sewell, and Chase. If these guys aren't there at 8, strongly consider moving back.

It would have to be a kings ransom to be worth it. Lance, Fields or LT all day.

We would have a 1st, 2nd and three 3rd this year an additional 1st next year.  HELL YES

At 19 you are still going to get a blue chip player.

This might be too good to pass up. My initial thought is there is two good QBs next year in Rattler and Howell, but I don’t see us being one of the bottom two teams. The cost to move up to get one is ridiculous. The extra capital now in a deep draft is huge and we can package our two firsts to trade up next year if needed.

I’d rather trade back a few times for 2 more 2nd rounders this year.

That’s too much...don’t trade out of top 12, 15 at absolute worst
