Panthers about to trade for CJ Henderson?!?!

[ImaginaryKev]

So yeah we officially want to be known as most athletic team in the league, as our feature

Looking at some 2020 mock drafts and found this nugget 

[vorbis]

just to flesh out an earlier point I made in this thread (lost in the insane activity of posts in here, wheee)

calling this a great trade or great asset management is not the same thing as saying it's 100% going to work out in the Panthers favor.

Henderson could not work out and this is still a great trade because the process and decision-making around the trade is sound. it's the kind of decision-making that perennially great teams make, and I'm totally here for it.

The more I think about it, maybe this move to get CJ was a preventative move against out competition as well. 

With Horn's injury we definitely needed to add more depth to the position. But also note that Tampa Bay was window shopping for cornerbacks as well, they actually reached out to Richard Sherman before the Panthers did.

So maybe this was a move to take a piece off the board before the Buccaneers who have a suspect DB backfield.

Nope, lost them via other trades, FYI.   Anyway, multiple 6th and 7th rounders don't make up for zero day 2 picks.

Definitely won't make up for zero 2nd and 3rd round picks, but can make a late 4th an early 4th.

Take his draft stock out of it and he's cheap, young, absurdly physically talented, and has been underdeveloped in one of the worst situations in the NFL. That's a heck of an upside shot to take at a position of desperate need. 

Thats twice we did that...

Shiiiiitttttt, I would sign Sherman now just on general principle

I get the concerns about the oline, but we do have Brady Christensen and Deontay Brown from this years draft class, one or both could be part of the answer for improving the oline next year (or earlier).

Arnold just hasn't been the type of receiving threat we anticipated him being and he's a a blocking liability. Thomas looks serviceable and Tremble may be ready to take on the starting role.

Yeah Arnold didn’t look fast and seemed really easy to tackle through 3 games.

On the other hand Tremble looks really athletic and seems to have good hands so we might as well give him more reps to speed his development

I suspect ole Fitts will do everything in his power to get one, if not both, back.  The 2022 draft was going to FINALLY be the one where we focused on the OL, legitimately, not counting day 3 project picks.  I was hoping for a starting LT and C out of our 1st and 3rd rounds (obviously no 2nd rounder).  Yes, starting centers can be had in the 3rd round, but once you get to day 3 though, it's slim pickings.

Yes! I thought about that too. He wanted a Man corner last year too I'm sure. 

He was on MY mock! Not that Rhule will return my calls...

We don't deserve a GM like this

If there's a caption contest for this, here's my entry:

Fitterer just got a first round CB for a third round pick, and people are wringing their hands about draft picks in 2022?! LOL. We'll be fine! We'll either get the picks back, or we'll be more active in FA.
