Trade Down only option for 2022 draft?

We don't have that many holes.  QB and OL are the only two areas we absolutely must improve at.  Secondary, LB, DL, RB, WR could all stay the same and we'd be fine.  When you consider the money we'll have and what we could add in FA especially, I'd rather see what options we have in the 1st round than committing to trading down.

If it turns out trading down is the best option, then yeah.  But if a great tackle or guard or QB prospect is there for us in the 1st, I think we have to pull the trigger.

Don't like how everyone's just assuming we're getting a top 10 pick 

Reality  is we already have 4 wins and wining even just 2 more would drop us to a mid rounder easily. As bad as the panthers are we already beat two teams we have to face again in ATL and NO, still have to play questionable  WFT and Dolphins, and may play a bucs team resting starters late in the year .

Not to mention how games have been turning out lately lot of seemingly poo teams have been beating good teams..

You also can't assume we're getting exactly what we want in terms  of a trade down. Other teams aren't fuging stupid when they see panthers have no 2 or 3 they're not going to give up the farm for some mid round 1. They'll lowball Fiterrer on purpose because  they know the panthers are desperate  to get multiple picks to rebuild the o line and possibly a qb pick

Or trade players for picks.

This is really what we should have been doing instead of trading picks for players. You should never do that unless your a deep playoff contender and fitterer did that with a rebuilding team and roster .so all that does is make the rebuild more difficult  which is where we are at right now.

Yup if we're picking around 15, for someone to move up from the mid 20's they might give us a 4th. Maybe a 3rd if we swap some later round pick positions. The window to get picks for players closed last week, could have maybe gotten a 3rd or 4th for one of our cornerbacks or DE's to a playoff team. Lots of guys are free agents after this year

      Legette is a Luxury to the team.

      It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway.

      XL about to turn the corner

      I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.

      So...who'll win this week?

      At this point this is all I want from this team. I'm done hoping for wins. I just want to see a competitive team for 4 quarters. Come out of the gate hard and don't give up no matter the score.
