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

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.

      It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
